You can be my Grad Accountant. Tax season is coming.... I need to brace myself with the onslaught of upcoming enquires.

Need a new joke Moh

HECS would have been paid off at the end of the year anyway Now the money I've saved to install ducted heating is all going to the tax man... time to buy some blankets

If the 2012 tax return is the final payment for your HECS. You could have saved ~15% of that final payment via other means. Oh well too late now.

You tax people, always working in financial years - End of year = December

Suck it up Patricia, cheapest loan you'll ever get

Also mine is bigger

This. Mine is still ~20k and I thought about taking it out in one swoop, until I saw how low the interest rate for it was...the money is earning more in the bank than the HECS debt is incurring interest lol.

You probably should have received your HECS update letter recently - I got mine last week.

Should show your current debt(as at Oct 31 last year), and a payout figure with has a discount for for a lump sum payment.

Since you've paid another year of payments probably just need to call the tax office and ask what the current payout figure is.

8 years to pay off my hecs. I actually have a credit card with a lower interest rate though.

50% there.

Early payments get you a 10% discount, in addition paying it before 1 June (IIRC) means no inflation is charged. So in total this works out to be ~13-15%.

This is only most beneficial when your tax return is going to lead to a compulsory final payout.

Nah I just found out I can buy one of the cars we repo before it goes to auction. I can also get it at the reserve price which is f**k all.

Might rip the turbo out and put the old one back in. Nothing was wrong with the turbo!

Ah k, so the discount obviously doesn't apply if the lump sum payout is a compulsory one made through your tax return? Will keep that in mind when it gets low enough.

in short they suck.

sure it only $35 but there is a traffic jam out there they put extra cars out to make sure you go slow

basically every dick who thinks their VN vacationer is a v8 supercar is there.

if you want to try a low stress intro to track

do a winton Test and tune, which run ever Friday ~120-150$ and you get a shit load of track time.

or a tampered day at winton which allows passengers all day and does timing.

or better yet suck it up and come to one of our track days

2. You no longer have any left.

Thank you, come again.
