Well that time is here again, & my wife is run off her feet already with business clients. God help her now the individual returns are flooding in. And as usual the wierd questions come with it.

* $500 refund." Ohh i though i would get more than that this year." Well, you only paid that much in tax, the government isnt in the business of making donations to you.
* " I just flexi rented a $3000 computer & the hardly normal rep said i would get it all back on tax"
* Truckies on the UHF comparing refunds, as you cant have a mate get more back than you. " What!! only a $3500 refund, micko is getting a $12000 refund & he is on the same wage as me" Yes, but what micko forgot to tell you is that he is out of pocket over $28000 on a negative geared property. Doesnt sound so good now does it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Lets hear some more.

Not really a funny story ... but looking at what I've billed over the last 2 weeks ... I'm laughing!

Now that is outstanding!!! And proud of it too.
I am sure with the hours you put in Nick, it would be well deserved.
