    I'm doing mine in a May this year:rotfl:

    Can anyone remember how long it takes from submission to payment confirmation. They say within 72 hours but I know it's usually quicker than that
    Think ours was there the following day.

    Accountant submitted ours on Monday. I can't ( and not interest enough to learn) to learn about vehicle depreciation. It probably takes him a couple of hours to check my paperwork, etc he is not expensive. :money: and I will pay tomorrow
    I am also doing mine early this year :rotfl:

    I will nag you all to start your tax returns in May/June. If you do it as soon as you can
    - if you have tax to pay you will know the amount and will have plenty of time to make sure you have the money available
    - if you are due a refund you will receive it in about five working days. Whose bank account would you rather this money was in?
    :)
