Australian Income Tax Previous Year Report Tutorial
Here in Australia, we have this 31st October deadline to fill in Income Tax Returns for the Financial Year previous. There’s “previous” that’s “curious”, and there’s “previouser“, that’s “curiouser“.
Maybe …
- You have all the information to fill it in yourself?
- But haven’t?
- And need the previous year’s Tax Return “Print Friendly” report to look at and refer to?
- But you don’t have one?
To which, we’d say …
All is not lost. We are not, all of us, doomed!
Your myGov account is here (assuming you have filed a tax return before)!
We thought we’d do it ourselves, in a similar way to how we did it a little while back, to show you (in the imperical way) … or you can diss my fun, and go all official with this, albeit incredibly and credibly useful, advice, thanks, straight from the August 1 birthday club members’ mouths.

The distinction between course-driven and immersion-driven learning is useful. A small extension to the australia.htm exercise would be a set of named map markers and a text filter: first update the visible markers on an input event, then add a collected/uncollected toggle, and finally persist only that toggle state in localStorage. That gives beginners a concrete reason to learn arrays, DOM updates and browser storage without needing PHP or MySQL first. It is also worth testing empty searches, a page reload and disabled storage separately; those are different failure cases. Disclosure: we maintain the GTA 6 interactive map. I am suggesting it as an example of a map-and-progress interface, not claiming that we used the tutorial code. Would you introduce persistence after the first working interaction, or keep the initial exercise entirely stateless?
