@@BryanInvest Hi Bryan, For the individual whose income from the employment is less than $18000 for the fiscal year, do they get all the tax withheld refunded back after filing? Thank You

[@nomis5426]

What a great tutorial, so clear and concise. Thank you

[@BryanInvest]

Thanks Mate!

I keep trying to do the "My Tax" but it keeps telling me it does not match the ATO records on file, How am i supposed to get around this??? Im on a working holiday visa and this would be my first tax back.

[@BryanInvest]

I suggest you call the ATO directly. I don't think this is something I can help with, sorry.

Yes, could you please do a video for sole traders, and how to go about lodging what they call 'Income tax with business schedule'. Thanks.

Refund! :D

[@limecat7996]

your a life saver ;-; i been a resident all my life and still dont get it xD and last year i went to this community place that does free tax returns for people that cant lodge there own, and well.. it was a horrible experiance. i walked it to the room and it was a accounting class! and i was pretty much a project so the teacher could show his students what to do, was slightly traumatising since i wasnt expecting that and am a little introverted.

[@ronnysharma5083]

I really really really want you to make a video on business tax return. Please. I request you please.

[@JASHANDEEPKAUR-cj2nj]

Hey mate, thanks a lot for this useful video! I actually have a question, could you please clarify that when is the due date to lodge for tax return, i'm an international student and came to Australia last year in July and started working in August. So, when can i lodge for tax return? Thank you!

[@BryanInvest]

Tax return is due on 31st October if you’re completing it yourself. If you use a tax agent, you up have until 15th May the following year. You can technically start your tax return on 1st of July. However, I would wait a few weeks just to ensure all your payroll data and other information are pre filled for you on MyTax.

[@KUPHSER]

Would be good if you went through the private health part

[@TheCazz10]

Thanks very much Bryan. The ATO says online the Medicare Levy is usually withheld by your employer, but that doesn't seem to hold true. In your examples the person has to pay the 2% and it's deducted in the calculations as a lump sum to be paid at tax time. I am completing my return now, and I have to cough up the 2% ML plus shortfall tax for interest on savings accounts.

[@BryanInvest]

You're welcome. Yeah, I wish our tax system was a bit more clearer on what is withheld and what will be charged later etc. However, at the end of the day the ATO is very good at their job, and usually you won't pay any more or any less than what you should :)

[@BoogsieClarke]

I acquired a laptop necessary for work purposes. Could you please advise on the process for claiming this expense via MYGOV? There appears to be a lack of accessible information for the general public regarding the procedure for claiming work-related expenses, unless one operates a business, in which case there is guidance available. Could you kindly provide instructions on how to upload receipt proof of purchase to facilitate claiming work-related expenses as an employee?

[@MLDawn]

Great video. I have a question to which I have not been able to find the answer anywhere. I am an Australian Permenant Resident but my employment is with Ireland, and my salary will be paid in my Irish bank account and I will be taxed according to Irish tax protocols. What should I do exactly regarding my tazes in Australia? Will I be double taxed by Australia? Any information/resource would be greatly appreciated.

[@BryanInvest]

Hi, I believe Australia and Ireland have a tax treaty to avoid double tax situation. So you won't be paying double tax. However, I can't give you financial advice on your tax return since I don't know your situation. In this case, I would strongly suggest you pay for a registered tax accountant to do your tax return so at least you get it right this year. Then you can choose to do it yourself next year after knowing how they did it. www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/foreign-income-tax-offset-rules-guide-2023/attachment-a-countries-and-other-jurisdictions-that-have-a-tax-treaty-with-australia

[@dhruvkumar20]

What about the temporary residents (TR) who do not have medicare. For medicare levy exemption is should be 'yes' . Is it correct?

[@jhedanesguerra]

Hi there! Do I need to enter the tax they withheld on my bank interest even though I provided my TFN? They withheld something before I provided my TFN. Just wanting to be clear on this.

[@BryanInvest]

Yes, you do. However, sometimes MyTax will automatically pre-fill this part for you. If it’s not there, you need to enter it manually.

[@Patricia-jt6ku]

Hi I’m a whv holder and wanted to claim tax return but I don’t know why it says I’m owning hundreds dollars to ATO and also I put my deduction but isn’t cut from my income, I’ve tried with your number 1 case to check about my tax return. Can you explain what happen or maybe I did it wrong? Thanks before

[@user-zs3eh4er7w]

Hi Brayn, This is the first time I am paying tax in Australia. I have myGov and myGov ID. My muGovID strength is basic. Due to lack of documents, I can not go further to Standard. And with basic strength I cannot connect my myGov to myGovID. So in this case how do I link ATO to myGov? I am kinda lost! You have any idea what can I do now?

[@BryanInvest]

Surely you have a foreign passport and visa? That should be enough to have a standard identity. If not, it's probably best to contact them. Anything else I say would just be speculation. www.mygovid.gov.au/help-contact-us

[@flyingmiata9298]

Hi Bryan, I'm new to investing and purchased some Tesla stock 2 months ago when it was $260 now it's down to $240 and dropping fast. I don't want to panic sell but it's hard to ignore how volatile Tesla is. Any tips to get over this fear?

[@BryanInvest]

Hey man, this is very normal and even experienced investors feel this way sometimes. Investing in the stock market is an emotional game. The key is to have a long term mindset when investing. Every time you invest, pretend you won't see that money again for 10, 20, 30 years. Also, before investing, write down why you invested in Tesla and why you think it will go up in the future. And when it is down, go and read what you wrote down and remember the game plan. If you can't think of any reasons why the stock would go up, you probably shouldn't invest in it in the first place. Good luck man. (I also hold Tesla).

[@Batman-py2dy]

Hi, I have a spouse, what else should I put aside from taxable income and superannuation on the Spouse details section? Thank you. Your video is quite helpful

[@BryanInvest]

Thanks Chrissy. You probably need to include their half of any dividends, interest, or any other investments that you guys share. They should ask you all these stuff on MyTax anyway so just answer all the questions honestly and you should be fine.

[@chrissyoz2496]

Thank you for answering my question. He has investment property but only under his name. So I think I should only put his total income. Idk why am only getting $600 out of 5k tax 💔

[@BryanInvest]

@@chrissyoz2496 The ATO is usually fair. They'll refund you if you paid too much during the year and will charge you if you paid too little. Of course, it's still hurts when we see our money taken away from us.

[@joelworsley3591]

Hi Bryan, congrats on 10K subs! I have been thinking about salary sacrificing however this would cut into my "out of super" investing, would you recommend a balance? Or stick to one or the other entirely. REFUND

[@BryanInvest]

Thanks a lot Joel! I know you've been here since the early days so appreciate your support. IMO, salary sacrifice comes down to one thing - are you happy to keep working until 60? If yes, then salary sacrifice makes a lot of sense financially. You will save a ton of money on taxes. The only downside is you are locking in your money until preservation (retirement) age. You could try a balance to cover yourself both ways.

[@neonet6064]

So when is the perfect time to lodge tax return? Sorry new over here

[@BryanInvest]

There's not really a 'perfect' time. You have until October 31st to do it. I would just suggest waiting a few weeks into July to do it to ensure everything is in MyTax.

Yes, you can put it in the same place given you are an Australian resident. You could also get a foreign tax offset if you paid tax in the foreign country.

Hello Bryan I live 2 hours from Perth Western Australia.Been to Byfields accounts in Jan to ask to set up Portfoilo was $4000 to set up and $3000 to run each year seemed alot of money so didnt go through it with because of the recession as well.Its August now shares are still increasing so got a appiontment with RSM soon to see what they can do,All my money sitting in a term deposit not doing much.Want to do your pie chart but dont have a clue how to start is there a chance you can have me set up my retirement plan ,I an in my 50s.

[@BryanInvest]

Hey Wayne! I'm living in Perth so good to see another WA person on here. Yeah, that is quite the fee. However, depending on how much capital you have to invest, it could be worth it. Since you are in your 50s and closer to retirement age, you need to be very careful with your money. You will need a good risk management plan to maximise your returns but also protect yourself. I'm guessing they will recommend a combination of index funds, bonds, and cash. However, I'm not a professional financial advisor so I can't really give advice on your situation. Do you have enough in super to retire?

[@BryanInvest]

@@waynerobert6627 yeah, if you're retiring soon then shares aren't probably the best idea since you're supposed to give them decades to handle any ups and downs in the market. You don't want to retire when the stock market is in a recession. I guess if you're that close to retirement age and still keen to invest in shares, you could consider making extra payments into super (concessional contributions). But I expect them to tell you sit on a fair chunk of your cash and leave it in term deposit.
