From memory the ATO uses Westpac so Westpac customers will mre than likely receive theirs first.

ATO site says they only start paying it on the 8th.

I've heard so much crap flying around, about how it's done by postcodes, etc etc.

Show me the money. My car needs tyres. Haha.

Why is that? I was worried the same would happen after them saying it'd go into the bank account you got your last tax return paid to?

But then seems to be CHQs? So it'd go to your postal address as per taxation department?

In that case im screwed as i cant even remember where my address is with the ATO... all my refunds go to my accountant... why wouldnt the stimulus package go their too?

This is the reason i HAVE an accountant i cause i cant be F%^KED with the ATO...

Anything I receive from the ATO goes through my Accountant. I dare say they'll just open it from the ATO, put it into one of their own envelopes and post it through to me.

Got me thinking though, I wonder if I call them and ask them to hold it when it comes in and I'll go collect it, might save a day on postage, get it into my account so it clears quicker (unless banks have been instructed to make funds available instantly, which I highly doubt).

With all these people getting all this stimulus cabbage, we're gonna be polluting the atmosphere a lot quicker than the government intended, bet they didn't think of that downside!!!

[uranium_death]

I received mine last Monday (not yesterday), and it will sit in my account.

How'd you do that? It was only authorised last Friday the 3rd!

[Zed7fiddy]

Hilarous no one has it, yet joyce maina nd hervey norman are advertising 12 hour simulus package sales TODAY ONLY!!!!

Whos betting that these sales get extended till the end of the week lol

[Taxman]

Any payments received prior to today have nothing to do with the so called "Stimulus Package".

To keep everyone up to date and on the same page, Below is a memo I sent to all my clients a month or so ago concerning the bonus payment (I am a Registered Tax Agent)

2009 TAX BONUS PAYMENTS

Are you entitled to receive the payment?

To receive the bonus payment you must satisfy ALL the following requirements
• You must be regarded as an Australian resident for tax purposes for the 2007-08 financial year.
• Your 2007-08 taxable income MUST not exceed $100,000.
• Your adjusted tax liability (Tax assessed plus Medicare Levy less Rebates) for 2007-08 is greater than Nil.
• You have lodged or will lodge your 2007-08 income tax return before 30 June 2009 unless you have been granted a deferral by the ATO prior to Wednesday 18 February 2009

How much will you be paid?

• $900 bonus will be paid if you have a taxable income up to and including $80,000
• $600 bonus will be paid if you have a taxable income exceeding $80,000 but not exceeding $90,000
• $250 bonus will be paid if you have a taxable income exceeding $90,000 but not exceeding $100,000

When will I receive the payment?

No 2008 tax return - no bonus payment.

You will not receive the payment until your 2007-08 income tax return has been lodged, and it must be lodged with the Australian Taxation Office by 30 June 2009 unless they have previously granted an extension. Exactly when you receive your payment will depend upon when your return was finalised.

The first round of payments is now expected to issue about mid April 2009. Those who have already had their returns assessed will be the first to receive their payments.

Will the tax bonus be used to offset any of my other tax debts?

The tax bonus payment will not be used to offset any other tax liability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ATO uses the Reserve Bank not Westpac like someone above claimed.

The ATO will be sending the cheques to the same address as advised on the 2008 tax return as the address for service of notice unless you have subsequently advised them of a change of address or of your bank account details. According to a press release today, some of the bonus payments will be in peoples bank accounts today and some will be in the mail tomorrow.

When one considers the number of individual payments involved, it will be impossible to issue all the payments and have them credited to bank accounts or cheques printed and delivered in one day. I would envisage that they will do them in several runs like the previous payments, possibly in order of lodgement of tax returns with those lodged in July the first to receive the payments with those still to lodge their returns being the last to receive the payment.

If you want a bit more information you can pm me.
