Nearly 2 out of 5 Australian's still haven't lodged their tax return – here's how to overcome the hurdles and beat the deadline
With the tax deadline upon us, it's surprising to learn that nearly 2 out 5 Australians still haven't done their tax return yet.
The good news, getting your affairs together and your return lodged is easier than you think!
The team at Etax.com.au have listed their top 10 reasons people are putting of their return AND how to overcome each one. Plus, to celebrate their 20th birthday they're giving someone $20,000 cash too.
1. 1. If I ignore my tax, it will go away.
That's never going to happen! Every taxpayer in Australia is required to lodge a return. Ignoring it runs the risk of nasty ATO fines (can be over $1000 in some cases).
2. 2. I can't find my income records (PAYG).
Don't worry! A good tax agent can usually get your PAYG info from the ATO if you don't have it. Just ask!
