Title: Tax return time
Post by: trout on July 12, 2013, 03:26:35 PM
Ok its that time of year again most of us get a little bit back from them thieves in Canberra :ok:
Are we going to be sensible and pay a couple of bills, fix up the credit card, put it in the bank or are we going to have a big splurge and get those coins we really want and bugger being sensible :angel:

Personally I like the splurge option :diablo: :Dance2:

Sorry PP, I know tax time is an absolute pain for small business owners :angel:

Yeah the business is a pain but personally the ATO sent my entire contributions back to me. I know they'll ask for it all back in a few months time, they don't know which way is up and they are in charge of money.

Is spending only some on coins sensible?

I remember those days, of large tax refunds.

I'm clearly doing something wrong, or at least non-Government-approved, with my life. With my last tax "refund", I could have bought an entire McDonalds Happy Meal.

At least the money stays in your pocket and you are not giving the buggers an interest free loan for the year Mate :good:

e-tax came back in about 7 days this year
paid out the credit card - yippie and have handed it over to the hubby for 'safe keeping' - I think he has it locked up at his work and you'd need a task force to break into where he works!
and for my 'new tax year resolution' -  I am putting myself on a coin collecting diet

feels goooooodddd
