They really don’t give a rats @&$
I did my tax return. Last year July forgot had to amend did the right thing .
My return was calculated i got the sms were processing need extra time don’t need to contact us we will contact you Blah Blah October 24 1 year snd 3 months later never heard anything no email no letter nothing did this years return before Oct 31 had to ring to re establish my my gov account waz told that my return was still there and she’s going to get the audit team to prioritise? Ok thank you that’s good to know after 15 months of nothing and You Guessed it the Balancing account again on this years return so like everyone else caught up in this legal way to hold money without any repercussions to the ato but be late and we’re going to fine you $330 per month .
I wish I could fine them $330 a month
Im not bothering to call them or contact anyone in the ato it’s not anyone’s doing or a personal thing against me it’s the system itself
Im unemployed now in need of that money to pay bills etc
I did this years just in time not to let them have another excuse and fine me they have no intention of refunding anything a law unto themselves. I will be making a complaint to the tax ombudsmen so hopefully this ridiculous manipulation of there legal wording to do as they wish
Why would you do this again the return was simple and straight forward
BALANCING ACCOUNT I know what it means checking with other gov etc
May take 2weeks to process online
The penny dropped when the lovely lady on the phone said about the aug 2023 amendment which was not in my benefit in anyway which apparently still has not been balanced that they have not even done anything to even do a refund now there’s a credit from last year a credit from this year a balancing account from both years and let’s say that it’s ok they don’t need to do anything and I’m sure they may complete it whether it’s a debit or credit the whole point of this complaint to the ombudsman is DONT TREAT PEOPLE LIKE WERE IDIOTS OR EVERYONE IS A TAX EVADER .
Threaten with fines that’s ok if it’s warranted but then to just do nothing about people’s tax returns 1-2 years for your own reasoning without any consequences or care.
So lovely people of Australia understand what your dealing with it’s not corrupt in anyway it’s unjust and has this fear factor that we are the ato and we’re balancing accounts and going to fine you
i Think it works both ways 2 wrongs don’t make a right no hang on it’s 1 right 1 wrong makes a right
No it’s 1 right and 1 wrong makes 2 wrongs 1 right 3 undecided a balancing pending debit credit account interest added for late fines the teams going to prioritise the return and we have added last years to this years so I may get an outcome once they work out to credit and make it a debit in 3 yrs time
One must turn a joke into a joke and really don’t worry about a ruthless relentless gov body so we can pay back china all the money we’ve borrowed I hope my few thousand helps out
