Accountant question: Is it illegal to not declare your HELP debt when starting a new job?

Not sure if it is 'illegal' or enforced.

At the end of the day its going to be paid one way or another anyway.

Don't think the ATO would cause too much fuss over it; they will get the monies from you next tax return anyway if your employer payroll doesn't put extra pay into PAYG withholding.

Be the same as declaring a tax free threshold at both jobs, or no tax withheld on bank interest or centrelink payments...come tax time you gonna have a nice bill!

That said, I'd pay it off with your salary rather than your tax return. Keep in mind that indexing is applied to the debt, so the less you have for them to index at the time, the better. Unless the indexing is applied just after EOFY, which I think it may be, in which case it won't really matter.

Still need a graduate Tony?

Yup, and it will get paid a hell of a lot quicker if it's not on the form, and I'll have a whole bunch more money in my pocket

Not sure what you mean by quicker. Unless your talking about additional voluntary payments ontop of the compulsory payments.

Or possibly talking about interest earned compared to 0% with the ATO

The extra money in my pocket will go into a single voluntary repayment, if it goes in my tax it will take longer to save that payment

Is that the final payment your saving up for?

Admin roles at our work and I'm sure with most business, the turnover is quite high. So there are always fresh faces every 6-8months

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
