today I had a bizarre day. In 20+ years never seen this. Tax client asking for their GST refunds told cheques in mail But seems someone has credited 300k to their tax account over several weeks. I spent hour or more pleading with Ato not to pay the refund after weeks of chasing it...I wish they paid our fees for being honest. Unfortunate that they will now hold the refund longer... SIX MONTHS AND COUNTING FOR $70k. Does it pay to be honest?
