ladymarmalade_00: Yout tax return depends not only on your income, but also on the amount of deductions you have paid during the year. Are you getting the Family Tax Benefit direct? that is usually paid to the parent looking after the child, instead of a tax deduction to the wage earner. Using a tax accountant or tax return service is often worth it as they can look into your deductions more accurately and save you from possible audit later on. Besides, their fee is tax deductible.
Check the www.ato.gov.au website, their calculation on a $36K income is $6,600 tax.

zac_timmy: Unless you have reciepts or proof of your deductions, you can't claim over $300.
