Ok so im working out my refund at the moment. Lets just say I earnt (lets call it $X) over 30,000. so according to the tax brackets:

Taxable income Tax on this income

$1 – $6,000 Nil

$6,001 – $30,000 15c for each $1 over $6,000

$30,001 – $75,000 $3,600 plus 30c for each $1 over $30,000

$75,001 – $150,000 $17,100 plus 40c for each $1 over $75,000

$150,001 and over $47,100 plus 45c for each $1 over $150,000

I have to pay $3,600 plus .30 for each $1 over $30,000

So I multiply $X by 0.30.

I add that amount to $3,600, and that’s how much I have to pay (lets call it value A). Then I take what tax I HAVE paid, subtract value A, and that’s my refund?

If so, I get Quite a bit back!

No its not that simple.

You have to do that, then have to calculate the Medicare levy, any reportable fringe benefits, and any HECS requirements you have.

Best bet is to use the Tax office online calculator at www.ato.gov.au

Link to calculator is here: link

I have to pay $2,600 plus .30 for each $1 over $30,000

So I multiply $X by 0.30.

I add that amount to $2,600, and that’s how much I have to pay (lets call it value A). Then I take what tax I HAVE paid, subtract value A, and that’s my refund?

:) Use the calculator. Do your return with a tax consultant or accountant, they'll squeeze your dollar for you.

Ok so for all you haters i used the calculator :) and i was right, for the purposes of shits and giggles. I earnt under 50k and have no spouses or dependants so i dont have to pay the medicare surcharge. Mine is easy, money comes in, tax comes out. thats it.

Hey Damo,

You will not have to pay the surcharge but you will have to pay the medicare levy which is 1.5% of your taxable income.

eg $40,000 = $600

you must add this onto the tax you have to pay on your income and then take off the tax you have paid and this will give you an approximate figure.

i just did mine on the calculator :D

sucks when u break another bracket!! aww... pay some money for me!

I presume you refer to the common misconception, that if you bust into a higher tax bracket, then the whole amount of your income is taxed at that rate. This is incorrect - effectively only the amount of money over the previous threshold is taxed at the high rate.

you did use that etax free program right? thats pretty easy to use explains each step.

im not a tax specialists but you can claim somewhere around $300 of work relates expenses as dedutables without reciepts. its on the etax program when you look how much exactly just gota read through it slowly

creative accounting strikes again.

yeah you will get a hefty refund.

The 2nd job has to tax you are the marginal rate, on the presumption that you will reach the highest threshold in your 1st job.

I am sure you would complain much more if they had taxed you on your 2nd job at normal tax rates, and then at tax time hand YOU a hefty tax bill.

Ah that's good news. I can finally buy some tyres for my new wheels! yay!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
