I'm a little confused after reading the words "If you earned less than $18,200 don't bother filling out a tax return'. I can think of 3 reasons why I always file a tax return if I earn any money from working.

Firstly, my accountant has advised me that I am required to complete a tax return even if I've earned only $1!

Also, an individual may have had tax money sent in to the Tax office, so they would definitely want to complete a tax return in order to get their tax refunded.

As well, I do a bit of casual work and if I satisfy the work test in a given year I contribute $1,000 into my superfund and get $500 co-contribution from the tax office. I need to complete a tax return in order for this valuable contribution to occur.
