    Rent a room relief query

    I'm seeking any opinions on whether 'rent-a-room' relief applies in the following scenario. I believe it does but could be missing out on something. I'm also unsure whether 'joint assessment' or 'separate assessment' is an issue. A married couple, presently jointly assessed, are faced with one...

    Query re Health Contribution refunds

    This is a complex one, hope I explain it clearly: The high-rate health contribution thresholds were changed in the budget. If your income in a month(s) exceeds the 'high rate threshold', you pay a higher rate of health contribution in that month. [Details for what it's worth- previously, if...
