I am a PAYE taxpayer who has been a rather lazy bad boy. I need to urgently lodge my 10 personal tax returns from 1996 to 2005 inclusive. I am looking for a good price on a bulk deal. Any tax agents out there who know their stuff and who are looking for a bit of work, please contact me on geoff7772001@yahoo.com.au. Thanks Geoff

As of July 1, ATO will refuse to accept more than 2 year's returns so it might be a good idea to trot round to your nearest H&R Block office that is open and surrender. You should be looking for refunds, minus penalties for late lodgment of course, but should still finish ahead. Try opening the bidding at $50 per year....

Yeah, it does happen. A guy from work gave me 7 years of papers to pass onto my dad(ex-ATO worker) and got a few grand worth of refund. G.

Someting happens at 7 years to reduce your liability, not sure exactly what. Chances are the ATO reduces their liability after 7 years as well. -- Patrick Hamlyn posting from Perth, Western Australia Windsurfing capital of the Southern Hemisphere Moderator: polyforms group (polyforms-subscribe@egroups.com)

You are supposed to keep records for 7 years, within 7 years you are possibly subject to a random audit.

If you are a salary/wage earner, you should be looking at refunds of around $500 a year up to 2003, a bit less each year thereafter as the tax rates dropped. If you get the fee taken from the refund you should still get monery back - better in your bank than the ATOs. You won't find out if you don't ask! 5 years is now accepted as the limit to keep records, unless you are in business.

The "shorter period" refers to the "standard" period they will audit people with very simple tax affairs. They reserve the right to go back more than this if they find fraud, etc. You have stated the ATO will not let you lodge more than 2 years of past tax returns. This is total crap.

See http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2006/04/16/1145126008824.html?from=top5 "Tax Inspector-General David Vos has been talking to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development about so-called "pre-populated' tax returns, where responsibility for filling in income and deductions information is shifted to tax administrators."

I know some who haven't done a lot of BAS's because it's "too hard" but mostly because they couldn't pay it - they spent the money. When annual tax time comes they might be owed a refund on paper, but they owe the ATO for all the BAS's, including all the GST. Unless the refund is more than the GST owing, they find it more attractive to just hope the problem will go away. Don't know if you have to pay the PAYG first, to get any refund owing.
