The Government has changed the Education Tax Refund to include school-approved uniforms, purchased from 1 July 2011.

Items of clothing including hats, footwear and sports uniforms approved by a school as its uniform may be claimed from 1 July 2012.

So keep your receipts for school uniforms so you can claim them at Tax Time 2012.

I care for a child

You can claim the Education Tax Refund (ETR) if you had eligible education expenses during the financial year for a child who meets the schooling requirement, and:

you received Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A for the child
or
a payment was made for the child which prevented you from receiving FTB Part A,
or
your child stopped full-time school during the year and received income over the cut-out amount which prevented you from receiving FTB Part A for the child.

Education tax refund – what you need to know

Tax returns Explained Simply

Romeo Caporaso — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 04:10:46 +0000

Watch this video to find out how it all works in your tax return refund or payable.

A simple tax return is really not that simple.

But let me dumb it down so if you have never really understood it, you soon will.

You start with Incomes (like wages and salaries) less deductions (like uniforms and cost of tax preparation fee) which give you what the tax office calls TAXABLE INCOME

Once you have your taxable income , depending on how high it is, you are taxed progressively more as in this table of the Income tax rates. This is called Tax on your Taxable Income.

Tax rates 2010–11

Taxable income	Tax on this income
0 – $6,000	Nil
$6,001 – $37,000	15c for each $1 over $6,000
$37,001 – $80,000	$4,650 plus 30c for each $1 over $37,000
$80,001 – $180,000	$17,550 plus 37c for each $1 over $80,000
$180,001 and over	$54,550 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000

Once you have tax on taxable income you add medicare levy

Then you take off any taxes paid (such as on wages) and any tax offsets (such as education tax refund)to get your tax return refund or amount payable. If you have already paid more tax than the tax on taxable income then you get a refund.

For more examples and explanations of Income, deductions, taxes paid and tax offsets visit www.ATO.gov.au or ask us
