Keep the good things.
I have lodged my tax return OVER A MONTH AGO, and am still waitibg for it to be finalised by their ‘accountant’ and after several messages back and forth clarifying information, i still had no result.
I called and spoke to someone there and said if they cant finalise my tax return i want a refund. He then said okay well its pending information so wel’ll just refund you.
I then said well it isnt waiting on anything as i have clarified multiple times with then and theres nothing more required and he said they are just following ATO and as I spoke the man kept talking over me and repeating himself. I asked him to stop taking so i could speak and he ignored that and continued repeating himself.
I then talked over him explaining hes not listening or understanding what im saying to which he said sorry i cant hep yu goodbye and stopped talking however didnt disconnect the call!! I repeatedly called out to him with no response. Forcing me to hang up. Then called their customer line again at 3pm WA time (their local time) and was met with a recorded message that noone was in the office and to call within business hours which i did!
Absolutely disgusting way to treat clients. I am fuming. I will NEVER RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS TO ANYONE.
Thank you,

If you earn over a certain amount and do not have private health cover, you are charged an extra tax called a Medicare Levy Surcharge. This is calculated in 3 tiers for both singles and couples/families. You can learn more about this here.
Even the most basic health cover can give you more control over where you’re treated, and who you’re treated by. It takes the pressure off so you’re able to focus on what really matters.
By law, private health insurance does not offer cover for out-of-hospital medical services such as GP appointments, specialist consultations or out-of-hospital diagnostic tests.
You have more health cover and more choice, pay less tax, get a private health insurance rebate and also helps to avoid paying more for cover when you’re older!
A Will/ Testament/ Last Testament is a legal document by which a person (the testator) expresses their wishes as to how their property is to be distributed at death.
Will ensures that your property is distributed in the way you would have wished it to be.
You are eligible to make a Will if you are above 18 years of age and of sound mind (apart from the exceptions including undue influence). Undue influence refers to situations where the person drafting the Will is under pressure to write the document in such a way that it goes against their real intentions.
You can change your Will as often as you like but the best way to change your Will is to make a new Will. Codicil is not recommended. A Codicil is a legal document that is used to alter something in an earlier Will. People may use a Codicil instead of making a new Will. It is however not recommended.
You need to log in, make changes to the 4-steps, and when you generate your Will, the previous encryption key will be replaced by the newly generated encryption key.
If you marry after you have made a Will, your marriage cancels your Will unless the Will was made “in contemplation” of marriage. It is recommended that you consult a legal practitioner to make sure the Will is valid.
Divorce affects your Will, but it does so differently in each state and territory. In some jurisdictions, divorce will automatically render your Will invalid. In others, divorce will simply revoke your former spouse as your executor or any gift left them.
The main difference between a Dependent and a Beneficiary is that a Dependent is someone who is financially depending on you or they need physical care from you. A Beneficiary of your Will can be a Dependent of yours and can also not be a Dependent.
Your executor is allowed to refuse his/her role despite the fact that he/she gave their consent before that. Therefore, it is always recommended that you appoint an alternative executor in your Will.
It is common for a dependent to be one of the beneficiaries as a dependent may be the testator’s child who is under the age of 18. A beneficiary may also be your adult child (over the age of 18) who is not a dependent. A beneficiary could be a charity organisation which you wish to leave part of your estate to. A dependent does not have to be a beneficiary as well. For example, you may not wish to leave your assets to your rich elderly grandpa whom you physically take care of.

You can get loans with bad credit. However, when you have bad credit you generally have a bigger risk premium applied to the stand bank rate. This means your repayments may be higher if you have bad credit.
Mortgage brokers will assist and guide you through the process of taking out a new mortgage. Mortgage brokers can also assist you refinancing your current mortgage.
If you have a variable interest and there is an interest rate rise, it is likely that the interest rate you are paying will increase. In this case if there is an interest rate rise, your home loan repayments will increase. If you are on a fixed interest rate, the interest rate rise will not impact you until after your fixed term rolls back to variable interest rates.
If you’re wondering “how much can I borrow” it’s best to speak to a mortgage broker and get a firm preapproval for home loan. A preapproval for home loan allows you to bid on property in your price range with confidence. If you’re thinking how much can I borrow, seek out a mortgage broker for a preapproval for home loan.
The first home owners grant is accessible for Australian residents when they buy their first home. Our First Home Owners Grant guide will help you work through all the information you need.
It is generally good practice to consolidate loans when you are refinancing or taking out a mortgage. This provides the option to reduce the payment amount or keep up repayments and allow for flexibility if there is an interest rate rise. It is best to seek advice from a mortgage broker based on your personal circumstances.
