Have you ever wondered HOW the ATO know where you work, how much you earned, even how much interest your forgotten bank account has earned?

The ATO uses data matching to make sure what you're reporting on your tax return is correct! https://buff.ly/3uVqpao

Did you know? When you claim a deduction, you don't get that whole amount back on your tax return. Instead each deduction reduces your taxable income (or the amount of your income you have to pay tax on).

Example:
Leo earned $55,000 last financial year and claimed $3,500 in deductions. He doesn't get all of that $3,500 back, but his "taxable income" is reduced to $51,500.

So, without any deductions Leo's tax refund would be $197 and with the $3,500 worth of deductions his refund would be $1,457.
