Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostYes, everything is linked back to ATO. When you start your tax return after June 30th everything regarding salary is prepopulated in the electronic return. To the extent that annual salary statements are no longer issued by employers, typically. When you file the tax return it's either closed out or a tax demand lands within days. A tax refund lands in a couple of days paid direct to your bank. I am left wondering why, if government departments in Australia are so efficient, why is the UK so bad?merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Enough of a rant.
returning to the subject, I guess historically landlords have been able to pass the additional costs of taxation or others to tenants / guests.
the real pests of the sector, I would pressure they are incorporated as ltds and managing their tax liability more carefully. Presumably plenty of them have received even gov support during this period...Comment
