Personal income < 100k - 80k gets docked amount, < 80k and paid tax in 07-08 gets full $900, those on SOME centrelink payouts (inc most students i beleive), post grad students on scholarship/stipend

just wait for it to turn up in your account, then head back to Bali ;)

Fucking dodgy [i seem to suffer from tourettes]s.

I love the fact how the advertise the stimulus but they don't advertise one little catch that can affect many people, I was one of them!

If your tax offsets don't exceed $0 - you DO NOT get anything.

Since I claimed absolutely everything on tax last year I got everything back. Now I don't get a cent of the $900. I'd call 1300 686 636 with your TFN equipped ready to see if your eligible.

Yeah, I heard about that. Something about if you got back more tax than you paid last year, you don't get this $900. Also I heard on the news some loophole about people who earn less than $11,000 per year not getting the payment either.  ???

They always said those earning 0 - 80k and paid tax would get it, it always amazes me how people get selective hearing when theres free moey involved, and for some reason, everyone thinks the are going to get the payment

NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO GET THIS MONEY, YOU COUNT YOURSELF FUCKING LUCKY IF YOU DO

hope not, i got like 1900 back last year...

But if you paid more than that in tax then you should be fine. Use SSS link to the calculator just to be sure.

I am eligible :)

What exactly are you trying to say here?  We all paid tax.  They don't mean "and if you didn't pay enough PAYG tax and had to pay a bill instead of get a refund at the end of the year".

And why are we lucky for it?  I mean, it's money that instead of going to the government for them to spend on long term infrastructure and services, we keep and spend on goods and services to stimulate economic activity in the short term.

hm bugger. i honestly thought i was for the year 08-09. looks like i miss out. ah well. its a bit unfair though really.
The old USSR had a single time zone. They had a hammer and sickle in the ground near the Kremlin much like a sundial.
Arguments raged for years as to what to call the timezone
Moscow Time?
Comrade Time?
In the end they all agreed.
Hammer Time.

the thumbtack corporation tm is not responsible for any injuries incurred as a result of thumbtack. any resemblance to any stationery, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Im trying to say that because of all the publicity and hype around the 'free money', many people havent looked at the exact criteria for it and assumed they are going to recieve it but are going to be sadly disappointed when they dont get it.

And we are lucky because its an unprecidented move to just hand out cash to a large proportion of the population, when there were numerous other options the govt could have taken to spend all this money (im not saying this is a good or bad move to be giving handouts)

I was stimulated by K-Rudds package today, though I don't get to see it, when I had my car in for service I had a loan car and I cleaned up a hare and damged the front bar, a/c bracket and condenser and the radiator and radiator bracket, and the insurance excess is $900.
    Sucks because I was going to spend it locally, instead I have given it to a company (Subaru) who is owned by the japanese (Fuji Heavy industries) who will then pass it onto to an insurance company which is probably owned by an american parent company, and who has undoubtedly by now fired all of it's Australian call centre staff and out sourced thier jobs to India.
