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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
