Thu 16 June 2005 - No more Mr Nice Guy
The ATO isn’t playing nice anymore. Okay, so I admit I haven’t been sending in their infuriatingly frequent monthly forms on time.
(When the government introduced GST, they trumpeted it would be a simpler tax system. What they meant was simpler for them. Not so simple if you’re one of the Cursed who now has to fill in a form every month.)
So far I’ve got away with the late forms, the only result being a terse note along the lines of “This time we’ve decided not to fine your arse. This time.”
But now they have cracked it and… well, fined my arse. $220 no less. $110 per 28 day period (or part thereof).
This month’s damn form is going in a week early.
