Question: In Australia what date do I need to pay income tax by. Does it vary depending on when I lodge my return?

and what is the rate of interest i have to pay if it is late? thanks

Answer: 31 October if you lodge your own return and are not registered with a tax agent/accountant by that date. If you are registered with a tax agent then your due date will depend on your circumstances and may be in March- June 2009 – ask them. The ATO charge around 13% interest on overdue tax but generally remit the interest charge if the amount owing is less than $2000.

Question: what will be my (income) tax rate for 401K withdrawal after retirement?

Let’s say I’m 65 years old now, not yet retiring. My current income is about $200K, so my income tax rate is the highest (state & federal.)

In a few years, I will retire and plan to withdraw about $50K per year from my tax-deferred 401K account.

What will be my tax rate then?

Answer: It is ordinary income and is taxed at the same rate as money earned at a job. It would be the same rate as having a job paying 50k a year. At 65 you get an extra exemption which lowers your tax a little.

There would not be any taxes withheld other than federal and state tax (no ss or med, etc)

If you are single a very rough estimate would be $6000 federal tax plus state tax.

Question: Can I get a job doing tax preparation working only on the weekends?

I live in California and am taking the CTEC course getting ready for next year. I work full time nights and might be available only on the weekends. I am wondering if tax employers hire people just for the weekends.

Answer: Maybe – you might try looking for a smaller accounting firm that needs some extra help during crunch time… My boss usually hires a newbie to work one or two days a week…
