Tax-time can be rewarding for those who take the time to get it right. David Koch dishes out some tips on how make the most of your 2009/10 tax return.
June has arrived and tax-time is looming. You have just a few weeks to take advantage of tax breaks before the 2009/10 financial year closes for business. Start getting your documents together and tracking down receipts to back up deductions. Tax-time can be rewarding for those who take the time to get it right.
Claim everything
Claim all possible deductions to reduce your tax bill and hopefully give you a tax refund. Think of everything you've had to buy to carry out your job this financial year.
If you work from home you can even claim some of your rent, internet connection and electricity bills. Don't forget your charity donations, everything from the Haiti earthquake appeal to your sponsor child. You may also be able to claim a 20 per cent tax offset on out-of-pocket medical expenses above $1,500.
If you can't find receipts, but know where you spent the money, go back and see if they can give you a copy of the receipt or invoice. Bank and credit card statements showing details of purchases can be used in some cases.
When it comes to work related expenses, the Tax Office website (ato.gov.au) has a list of acceptable expenses for various industries so check them out to make sure you're doing the right thing.
Use the education tax refund
Now is the time to check whether your kids need computers, textbooks or stationary for schoolwork. Buy them before the end of the month and take advantage of the 50 per cent tax refund on eligible education expenses.
This financial year you can claim expenses of up to $780 for each child in primary school and up to $1,558 for each kid in high school and get half your money back. You qualify for the Education Tax Refund if you receive family tax benefit Part A.
Offset capitals gains with losses
Profits from selling shares or investment properties bought after 1985 will be charged capital gains tax at your marginal tax rate. Losses made on these kinds of investments can offset profits and cut your capital gains tax bill. So if you made a big profit on the sale of one investment this financial year, consider selling some of your disasters.
Delay income until July
Put off receiving income until next financial year if you're likely to earn less in 2010/11 and will be on a lower marginal rate. It will also allow you to take advantage of the Government's last round of personal tax cuts for low and middle-income earners. If you have your own business you may want to hold off invoicing your clients until July.
Start a 2010 tax file
Filling in your tax return will be a breeze if you have all the necessary information at hand. If you are using an accountant it will make your visit time and cost-effective.
Start getting together your group certificates, bank and dividend statements, investment property accounts, receipts for tax deductible work or education expenses, any travel logs and health fund details if you plan to claim the private health insurance rebate.

Excerpt from Yahoo 7
When rumour circulated that Megan Fox had been sacked from the Transformers franchise that had made her a pin-up star, the actress, 24, was quick to reply. Her reps speedily issued a statement saying, "It was her decision not to return."
But according to TheWrap.com, when Fox arrived on the set of Transformers 3, her "unhealthy" appearance caused director Michael Bay to give the actress an ultimatum to pack on the pounds. When she returned, still slim, tension between them caused her to walk out.
"Mike doesn't like skinny actresses," Fox said last June. "So I'm always the fattest I've ever been when making a Transformers movie."
New photos of Fox frolicking with boyfriend Brian Austin Green on a Maui beach show the actress has a dramatically slimmer figure.
"She was contracted to do a third movie, so if they really wanted her back, they could have forced her," an insider tells WHO. "Basically she decided to leave and they let her go."
Perhaps there are other issues preventing her from putting on weight. The actress, who has stated she suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder, also claimed in Allure magazine, "I'll starve to death before I'll cook for myself."
"I think I could survive a week without eating," she said.
And she has other health problems that affect her food intake. "I found out I'm anemic," the actress has said. "I have to eat twice as much protein. That's really my only diet restriction."
As for the exercise routine that gives Fox her enviable shape: "I do pilates and acro-yoga, which is a combination of acrobatics and yoga. It's hard!' she says.
To see the photos of Megan in a bikini in Maui, see the week's WHO Magazine, on sale Friday, June 4
I like Megan Fox, I love her face ,, her curvaceous body and to see her skinny like this makes her look sickly,, wouldnt have a clue if she is just starving herself or taking safe diet pill ... Knowing that she will not be in Transformers 3 is a disappointing news,, my boy who loves to watch the movie would miss Mikaela Banes ....

Saw him on TV and heard about it ... Yes,, the launching of Ipad here in Australia ,,,, I love Apple products but this time I think I'll give the Ipad a miss,, dont need it ,, my Iphone and my Imac are working perfectly fine ..
SOURCE YAHOO7 news
Rahul Koduri has been camped out in front of Apple's Sydney CBD store since 2am on Thursday and hopes to be the first person in Australia to get his hands on the iPad when it goes on sale on Friday.
The 22-year-old Blacktown resident had to make arrangements with his boss at Telstra to take the day off to line up for iPad's Australian retail launch.
"I want to be the first to get it," he told AAP as he sat alone outside the George Street store on Thursday afternoon.
The Wi-Fi version of the iPad sells for $629 including GST, while the Wi-Fi version with 3G costs $799.
Mr Koduri didn't pre-order an iPad, preferring to stand in line.
"The experience of going to an Apple store and buying it - there's just no other company like that. It's like a cathedral when you're inside there."
Mr Koduri expects more buyers to brave the chilly Sydney weather, and possible showers, and queue up outside the store as the clock ticks closer to the Friday 8am launch.
"I expect more people to come after 12am tonight and into the early hours on Friday," he said.
"I've read all the forums online and (also) my friends are pretty keen on coming down tonight."
Mr Koduri so far has been offered coffee, an umbrella and permission to use the Apple store's bathrooms, if he needs to freshen up.
"It'll be cold, but I've got some blankets and jumpers with me. But in terms of rain, one of the Apple guys said if it rains too much they'll let us in."
In any case, he has his laptop to watch movies through the night.
Mr Koduri said he hadn't paid much attention to some of the less flattering reviews of the iPad.
"The only negative thing that I've heard is about Adobe Flash, which actually doesn't matter because Flash is just too old for it," he said.
"Mainly I'm going to use it for web surfing and apps (applications), obviously. The number of apps that this has is just amazing."
In New York, about 700 people queued outside Apple's Fifth Avenue store to get the first look at the iPad when it was launched in early April.

I am at awe at this video which was taken by the security cameras on the premises, on which how a Father saved his son from a car crash,, a must see video on how lucky they were....
It was shocking but at the same time relieved to see how this dad (Andrew Leitch) saved his baby son..The 82-year-old driver had a heart attack and careened her car at almost 45 mph into the Leitch family. But a sad story for the family of the driver...
It was shown on TV and it had been a buzz around Australia,,, and How lucky can you get ????

FACEBOOK is so "in" nowadays , there are lots of good things about this social site but there are also bad things....
Saw this news on Yahoo7 and wanted to share to everyone...
Just be aware and careful.....
Police are scouring bushland following the disappearance of a young Sydney woman who arranged to meet two men she befriended on Facebook.
Nona Belomesoff, 18, has not been seen since she left her family's home in Cecil Hills, western Sydney, on Wednesday.
She had arranged to meet the two men at about 10am (AEST) at Leumeah railway station and planned to return home on Thursday morning after a night camping.
Ms Belomesoff's family and friends have not heard from her since, and her mobile phone is switched off.
"She's a good girl, she doesn't go out often. She's more of a home girl," her brother Gary Belomesoff said during a public appeal for information on Friday.
"We will just hope for the best, I guess."
Police have spoken with one of the men the teenager arranged to meet through the social networking site but they say he was unable to shed any light on her disappearance.
The second man is yet to speak with investigators.
Police displayed Ms Belomesoff's photograph at train stations in Sydney's southwest on Friday.
The former Canley Vale High School student is believed to have caught a bus from her home to Liverpool Station before getting a train to Leumeah.
Searches of nearby bushland are being conducted by police, who admit they hold "serious concerns for her welfare".
"Nona is from a good family and it's very much out of character that she hasn't come back to her family home," Superintendent Gary Worboys told reporters on Friday.
"We're certainly concerned and would really look forward to (hearing from) anyone who has come in contact with Nona since Wednesday morning about 9am when she left her home."
Ms Belomesoff is described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance.
She has a solid build and is 152cm tall with brown shoulder-length hair and green eyes.
When last seen she was wearing a white shirt and carrying a small bag.
Any information about Ms Belomesoff's whereabouts or disappearance should be reported to police by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
