hm as it turns out i dont get it at all. something about tax offsets?
i think this was all a ploy to get people to spend, and now a lot of people like me wont get it, and some of them have already spent it. shame on you kevin
The missus won't let me spend the money on Transformers but I will spend my own money to get some
I still need to get Acid Storm and I might pick up a Bruticus or Superion while Kmart has the sale on
you have to pay net tax i believe, the main problem is so many people who earn quite little (im not so worried about myself, im comfortable, but it would be nice, its more the people who actually need this) wont get it because of tax offsets etc
As I understand, you have to have paid tax. IE: You earned over $6000 or whatever it is and you got $500 tax withheld throughout the year, and only got $400 back at tax time. Thus you paid tax and will get the rebate. If you got it all back, you get nothing. That's my understanding of it.
If you get things like youth allowance etc you get it anyway, so I'm getting it through that. There is a full list on the centrelink website
