    Happy to hear you managed to lodge yours in sooner rather than later.

    Last year my employer forgot to push the income statements through and I had to call the finance department and ask what was going on and they forgot to action it and push it through to the ATO. 🤦‍♂️

    They got it in on time this year so I just lodged mine in the other day. I’m glad that I’ll be getting back more than what I got last year by quite a bit but I think a lot of it came at the expense of travelling offsite and back constantly so I was able to claim back on that.

    Now for the wait of it being assessed which hopefully won’t take too long and then win!

      That’s really poor of your employer, surely one of the finance/payroll department’s biggest tasks is to ensure staff get their tax-related statements on time. I would’ve been so mad - thankfully it came through on time this year. I hear what you mean about the travel, I was looking through my past tax lodgments and one year I racked up thousands in claiming vehicle use for work travel, dunno whether it really worked out in the end with all the costs of maintenance and some expensive service items.

      I’m keen to get something back before the end of this month if possible. It’s time for me to restore my savings balance to where it was near the end of last year before I quit my job. I’ll be due for a chat about my pay at my second job and going to negotiate as best I can…
