Aussies hilariously slam ATO's ‘joke' tax return demands
It's that time of year when tax accountants are at their busiest, and income earners their most inconvenienced. As Aussies slowly get around to lodging their tax returns, the Australian Taxation Office's Facebook account — yes, they're on social media — has attempted to remind Aussies that they're legally required to lodge every last dollar raked in from the previous financial year. But unsurprisingly, it hasn't gone down so well with the working man. 'Make sure you report all extra income you earned this year!' a post from the ATO on Tuesday read, which has since disabled further comments. Here are some of the funniest responses: 'What about my daughter's lemonade stall?' one person asked. Another said, 'What's the point of cash in hand, if we just gonna tell you about it'. 'Every smart**** here is getting audited,' one person wrote. The account sought to define exactly what 'extra $$$' referred to. Cash-in-hand work, online activities, and interest on investments were among the key income-earning streams that Aussies 'need to report in your tax return!' 'Love how OnlyFans is described as 'online activities' haha,' one person said in response. 'Construction workers, barbers laughing, contractors laughing at this joke,' another chimed in. 'Why?? My marketplace selling is just a hobby!!!' one added. 'Will I be audited if I pick up a 10c off the ground and don't declare it?,' asked another. Aussies are not so keen on the ATO reminding them to lodge all extra income earned during the previous financial year. Credit: ATO / FB What about pokie winnings? The page confirmed, 'You don't need to declare your gambling winnings as income. You'll only need to declare your gambling winnings or losses as income if you're a professional gambler carrying out a business of betting or gambling.' Tips earned through hospitality? Unfortunately... 'Yes, cash tips that you receive, regardless of whether from your employer or direct from customers, must be declared,' the ATO stated. While many of the account's 327k followers said they'd been waiting up to two weeks to receive their refunds, others suggested the ATO should spend less time monitoring the little guy. 'Your main focus should be on big businesses, those who don't pay a single penny,' one person wrote. Another inquisitive income earner, tongue-in-cheek of course, asked the ATO exactly how it would go about proving someone didn't declare all of their additional earnings. 'How do you plan on proving that I didn't? Hypothetically', they asked. For more tips on lodging your tax return, head to For more laughs, head here.

Meta, Zuckerberg settle over Facebook privacy violation
Mark Zuckerberg and current and former directors and officers of Meta Platforms have agreed to settle multi-billion dollar claims for the damage they allegedly caused the company by allowing repeated violations of Facebook users' privacy, a lawyer for the shareholders told a Delaware judge. The shareholders had been seeking $US8 billion ($A12 billion) in claims. The parties did not disclose details of the settlement and defence lawyers did not address the judge, Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery. McCormick adjourned the trial just as it was to enter its second day and she congratulated the parties. The plaintiffs' lawyer, Sam Closic, said the agreement just came together quickly. Billionaire venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, a defendant in the trial and a Meta director, was scheduled to testify on Thursday. Shareholders of Meta sued Zuckerberg, Andreessen and other former company officials including former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg in hopes of holding them liable for billions of dollars in fines and legal costs the company paid in recent years. The Federal Trade Commission fined Facebook $US5 billion ($A7.7 billion) in 2019 after finding that it failed to comply with a 2012 agreement with the regulator to protect users' data. The shareholders wanted the 11 defendants to use their personal wealth to reimburse the company. The defendants denied the allegations, which they called "extreme claims." Facebook changed its name to Meta in 2021. The company was not a defendant and declined to comment. On its website, the company has said it has invested billions of dollars into protecting user privacy since 2019. A lawyer for the defendants declined to comment. "This settlement may bring relief to the parties involved, but it's a missed opportunity for public accountability," said Jason Kint, the head of Digital Content Next, a trade group for content providers. Zuckerberg was expected to take the stand on Monday and Sandberg on Wednesday. The trial was scheduled to run through the end of next week. The case was also expected to include testimony from former Facebook board members Peter Thiel, Palantir Technologies co-founder, and Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix . By settling, Zuckerberg and other defendants avoid having to answer probing questions under oath. Sandberg was found during the litigation to have deleted what were likely her most sensitive emails and she was sanctioned, making it harder for her to tell her side of the story in court. The settlement allows plaintiffs to avoid trying a very difficult case. Meta investors alleged that former and current board members completely failed to oversee the company's compliance with the 2012 FTC agreement. The lawsuit also claimed that Zuckerberg and Sandberg knowingly ran Facebook as an illegal data harvesting operation.
