The 08 "what are you spending your tax return on?" thread

[Molloy]

High flow cat and flash tune

[GORDZ]

$1350 return, ... credit card.

[TheSneakiness]

Lining Krudd's pockets...

[Plugg3r]

Depending on the sale of the 2003 HiLux of mine and my old XG it will either be savings for rainy's or mods for Ute

[Tribal]

Fixed gear road bike, twin exhaust system / wheels and tyres for the ute
Apparently my wife thinks I'll have some left over for her...

[irlewy86]

If I'm lucky I'll get a tall boy. I would have bought a rum but I have paid enough tax this year without forking out for a stupid excise as well.

[aye you]

19inch rims for my AU. been trying to get them every tax time for the last 2 years but have had to spend it on other urgent things at the last minute

[WindsorXR]

Depends how big it is. Im guessing it'll be around $700. And thats the cost of the alarm I want for the XR8. But that may change and go towards the '66 XR. Thinking which car to do first is doing my head in!!

Sad part is that the tax I pay each year is greater than the whole 4 year course combined...and even then it's still not enough and they want more. Will be HECS/HELP debt clear soon though. So maybe one day the government and I can say that we're square, they dont pay me, I dont pay them, except for the fat chunk they take off me each week before I see it. Anyway, to those that get something back, go silly and spend it on something fun

Obviously wasn't an accounting degree!

Get them to take out extra tax each fortnight to cover HECS. Means you won't be slugged with a giant bill at the end of the FY.

[3vXT]

I should get somewhere between $2,000 and $2,500 back.
Going to get a blutooth ear piece thing, pay off a $500 credit card debt and buy one or two pairs of pants. The rest will go into the bank.

[Nostalgia]

Mine went on getting my first tattoo !!! :

Well that's one way to make your tax return last!

[Kryton]

i mentioned at the start that i would put my return into a Hilux.
now im thinking of ditching the BA and getting a BF XR8 instead of a hilux (or still get a hilux if im lucky).
ive came to realise that i dont just want the sound of a V8 with me when i drive - i NEED the sound of a V8 with me when i drive.

Haha, It's addictive isnt it? I've heard the note a million times of my Clevo, but it still makes me grin.

[Darkr]

Getting roughly $1k back, that will go into springs, shocks and camber, will almost cover it.

Doesn't go far!
