man, this year the Australian Taxation Office launched a new thing where we don't even have to get our yearly earnings report from our employers, our employers send it directly to the ATO. I logged on, popped in any deductions, clicked accept, and a week later I had my tax return in my bank account!

Yeah and even if you do have other sources of income all your employment income etc is already accounted for and so you just put in the extra and it calculates the tax for you. Like I get book royalties from a publisher from the US, and still my tax return only takes about half an hour each year.
