  And that means tax time. As I type I am literally up to my neck in papers and bills and statements and receipts and all the associated crap.
Yes, of course it would be easier to file them all away as I received them. But I wouldn't do that! Most of these things are still in sealed envelopes. I must ask myself however, what's the rush? I mean I haven't even lodged last years return. I was all set to, downloaded the ATO's E-tax software, went through everything but didn't lodge.
You see I was waiting on one more statement. By the time that arrived the electronic lodgement service period was over. Looking at this mess around me is not helping with getting started. Once it's done though I resolve to take everything to an accountant and just get it done. They are much better at scamming things too.... Wish me luck!
