thanks for the info kath. i'm getting my mum to lodge my tax return for me. although i think she will need a power of attorney. either that or she can send me the paperwork to sign and send back to her.

You can just do your taxes online, that is what I intend to do this year, as I will be in the US by then. I am supposing there will be no difference so long as you put in the details you need. I have lodged online for the past couple of years, with no worries. All you need to do is download the e-tax software, from the ato website, to your pc and fill in the information, just like the tax form you get from the newsagents over here. No need to send in group certificates etc, you just fill in the numbers and details. It e-files the paperwork and if you have an aussie bank account still in use that you can access get your return, if any, credited directly to that, less than a week. easy peasy!!

thanks kaffy,

i will look into that when the time comes. my group cert will be going to mum's house, so i guess she could just send it to me.

although, when i did my tax last year i knew i was moving and the tax guy said that you don't want to say that it is your last tax return in australia because they tax you at a higher rate.

Hiya Matt,

You don't even need to have your group certificate in your hand, physically, just the details on it, you can do your tax and just get her to send the certificate over, you don't have to wait for it. Hope that helps.

thanks kaffy it does.

hi kath,

the cyclone has gotten coverage over here...funny how it was the same catagory as the one that hit new orleans but no one died.

the golf is improving. i'm aiming to be a pro on the champions tour...that's for the over 50's.

haven't seen any telecasts of the games at all. wouldn't even know where to look.

hope you guys get a positive answer from sydney soon.

kath

kath,

here's hoping that you can get it done before june...so it doesn't stuff up your plans. i guess (money wise) it's better getting it done over there rather than over here.

don't worry about the one armed bandit thing...i bet robbie will look after you.

matt
