I have now completed my tax return. Looks like I should get a $2,870 refund. This huge increase in refund compared to last year is mainly due to the 16% increase in tax witholding by my employer relative to only an 11% increase in tax owed. My taxable income is up by 8%. But my tax is up 11%. This is because the increase in income is taxed at the maximum marginal rate, which is 49%. Gross cash income is before tax income ignoring franking and other tax credits and adding in net undiscounted capital gains (not deleting losses from previous years). It was up 16%.
I again checked what information the government knows about my tax affairs as revealed by the prefilled information on my tax return. They are still missing as much information as last year. I filed Moominmama's return online for the second time, using the prefilled numbers plus deductions.

Nice blog Moom! Been following a long time with a similar ethos. How do you calculate your gross and net after tax income? And I'm also interested what kind of dividend and deductions you make? at that size is it margin loan or home office?
