Lucky barsteward!

Over here (or should that be "under here"?) the government dont want to give you it back, in fact they are screwing more money out of me this year by saying i owe them for last year :roll:

If you buy a beer with your money, raise a glass to storm, that will make my day :lol:

Got $1,300 back this year .. But as an office worker, there is not much you can really claim .. And cause I work for such a big company, I don't want to push it and try and claim stationery and stuff, cause it would look, well, a little suss...

The cash is buying the suits for my groomsmen for the upcoming Bali wedding ... So yeah, already spent ... :(

How the f**k do you people get money back.
I might get $100, but 9-10 I still owe the bastards.

f**ken hate this time of year, just another way to get screwed by morons in suits.

He uses his credit card to pay for petrol :lol:

Last year my redundancy package put me over the threshold and I had to pay off most of my FEEHELP (HECS) off, which was a nasty suprise :evil:

I've never received more than $200 back, maybe I'll get my car serviced.

Then surely you 'work from home' from time to time.... claim 'home office', portions of rent, internet, electricity, PC parts, depreciation on those parts... the list is endless! Get BS'ing!
