关于农场工退税问题

回复 fqyyy 的帖子

那6月底具体要咱弄呀。。。

别急，没这么早。。。等6月底吧

我10月份刚来的塔州，语言结束后打了1个多月的农场工。
请问怎么退税？谢谢~

7月中旬你会收到一份“PAYG Payment Summay" 一般是寄到你家里， 上面会有你具体在这个农场赚了多少钱和withheld 了多少税金。 然后去网上银行7月1号那天的转帐记录那里看， 因该还会有你上一财年的利息。 再然后去税务局下载 etax， 最后去商学院门口冰天雪地跪求会计系学生一枚帮你搞定就好。

Most of your tax return shall be quite straight forward.
Just couple things to add:
1> For the ones whose taxable income are over $6k, you can consider to claim some work related deduction if you work on the farm, to get couple more bucks back. items could include protection clothing, sun glasses, sun screen, and laundry expense. Please note, you can only claim upto $300 deduction without receipts, and only upto $150 for Laundry exp without receipts.
2> for those whose taxable income is over $18488, you may be charged medicare levy, when working on the E-tax. if you are still on student visa, you are then not enjoying the medicare benefit. in this case, you can apply an medicare levy exemption certificate. the application form for that certificate could be found and downloaded from the medicare website. once the certificate is granted, you then can apply it to your tax return.
I haven't done one for quite a while. so could not recall more details. Please do excuse me, if the info appear to be too vague to follow.
cheers.
