Follow the links below for wealthy individual expanded tax returns.
Under sections 161 and 162 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936), certain taxpayers are required to lodge an annual tax return in an expanded format. This requirement is governed by a lodgment notice published annually on the Federal register of legislative instruments.
Where a taxpayer is not notified of their selection to lodge an expanded tax return before the publication of the lodgment notice, we are required to notify them in writing of the need to lodge an expanded return for a specific year.
On receipt of an expanded tax return we need to establish if the return is complete. An expanded return is deemed to be complete when answers to all questions are fully completed and the appropriate attachments are supplied as requested.
Expanded tax returns are not treated as being lodged until all details are supplied to us.
If we deem an expanded tax return to be incomplete, contact is made with the taxpayer or their representative via telephone, fax or letter to obtain the missing information.
On receipt of all the information, we key the expanded tax return into our systems. Where an expanded return is accompanied by the standard tax return, the keying of the expanded return will allow us to issue a notice of assessment.
A taxpayer must advise us in writing when their circumstances change and they are no longer required to lodge a standard tax return.
If we agree that a taxpayer has no obligation to lodge a standard tax return, and can therefore be withdrawn from the expanded tax return program for that particular financial year, we will confirm this by sending them a withdrawal letter. The letter will inform the taxpayer that there is no longer an obligation to lodge an expanded return for that particular financial year.
in some instances, the advanced age or the youth of a taxpayer, the serious illness of a family member or a problem arising from language difficulties.
If we grant a lodgment deferral of an expanded tax return until a specific date, we will send the taxpayer a letter to inform them of the new due date for lodgment.
the taxpayer does not lodge the expanded return by the new due date, we will send them a final notice specifying a date for lodgment of the expanded return.
no communication was received from the taxpayer.
The final notice will inform the taxpayer of the outstanding obligation to lodge the expanded tax return and will allow them at least 28 days to comply.
the taxpayer informs us that they have not lodged because there is no obligation to lodge an expanded return, the process for withdrawing from the expanded return program is followed.
A lodgment deferral for an expanded tax return cannot be granted once a final notice has been sent to a taxpayer. Instead, we will send the taxpayer a 'suspension of further action to obtain lodgment' letter to ensure that the final notice is still valid.
A suspension of further action to obtain lodgment is not a deferral of the lodgment due date for an expanded tax return. Penalties for failing to lodge on time continue to apply from the original due date of lodgment.
the taxpayer does not lodge the expanded return by the new due date, we will send them a notice of intention to commence prosecution action.
we then submit prosecution referrals to our prosecutions area who will decide whether to issue a summons in respect of the offence.
If the taxpayer lodges the expanded tax return by the new due date, the standard processing procedure is followed.
If the taxpayer lodges an expanded tax return after a summons has been issued, the prosecution process will continue.

Jannette Garriga was a 27-year-old from North Bergen, Hudson County, and was a clinical psychology doctoral student at Rowan.
The appellate ruling came after a state attorney for Rowan said "being grief-stricken and mourning the loss of a loved one does not, in and of itself, constitute extraordinary circumstances" under the state Tort Claims Act. Deputy Attorney General Marti Morris also indicated Garriga had not explained why another family representative could not have filed the claim.
"Jannette was a wonderful person. She was intellectual, loving, and curious. From North Bergen, Jannette was a clinical psychology doctoral student who was also interested in neuroscience. She was a beloved member of the team. Jannette was also an intern in the Rowan Office of Social Justice, Inclusion and Conflict Resolution. Her bright smile and great sense of humor will forever be missed. We continue to keep her family in our prayers.
"It is with great sadness that we share with you the news of the sudden passing of Jannette Garriga, a Clinical Psychology doctoral student.
Ms. Garriga, age 27, of North Bergen, was found deceased earlier today, April 26, in her on-campus apartment. Foul play is not suspected.

The Kingdom Hearts Wiki is a wiki focusing on the Kingdom Hearts video game series, developed by Square Enix in cooperation with Disney. KHWiki attempts to document all things related to Kingdom Hearts, from elements of storyline to gameplay.
The site was originally founded on April 1st, 2006 by Riku5464, under the control of the corporation Wikia. The wiki grew uninhibited for many years, until Wikia began imposing features upon its communities. Although the community of the Kingdom Hearts Wiki repeatedly disabled these features, Wikia progressively implemented changes that impacted the quality of the wiki's content. The greatest of these changes, a skin that shifted focus from information to advertisements, became the final straw, leading the wiki to seek private hosting. On February 9th, 2011, the wiki moved to the site khwiki.net, sparking the creation of the Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance. Since this time, the community of the KHWiki has striven to be the most professional and comprehensive Kingdom Hearts resource in the world. On February 28th, 2014, the site domain was changed to khwiki.com.

Most Expensive Diamond Ever Sold at Auction Sells for $39.3 Million!
The gem, once owned by the royal family of Hyderabad, was discovered 300 years ago in the ancient Golconda mines in South Central India. The jewel was eventually passed down to Nizam of Hyderabad, who was named the world's richest man by Time magazine in 1937. The then Nizam of Hyderabad had it auctioned in 1960 at Sotheby's. It was bought by the London branch of the jewelers Van Cleef & Arpels for 46,000 British pounds. It was then sent to their Paris store where it was christened "Princie" by Pierre Arpels in honor of the fourteen-year old son of Sita Devi, the Maharanee of Baroda, Sayajirao Gaekwad (1945-1985). The diamond had not gone to auction or been seen in public since 1960.

And there wasn't a thread on the first page, so I decided to start one. This is how I know we're a basketball school now..
Anyone thinks we'll be able to keep Buzz if we make him head coach of the basketball AND football team?
Well... I think we can say now that this is ALL Fuente's team.
With last year's personnel and "cultural" changes, I'm really excited to see how (or if) the team responds. Who will be the new leaders? What will be the personality and character of this team going forward? Will this team finally gel and be loyal to each other and give themselves to the team?
Maybe we'll get an initial glimpse over the next month! I really hope we look back at this time next fall as the start of something special!
A starting QB announcement would pretty much do it, but I'm not expecting one.
If you would have told me 6 years ago that on the first day of spring ball, this board would be way more focused on basketball, I would have laughed in your face. Thank God football is back. Here's to over analyzing 15 second videos on Instagram trying to determine who our starting QB is!!!
There are no more walk ons so who are we going to salivate over from the spring game.
They slow the video down to make it seem longer than what it is.
This is the least excited I've ever been for spring football. There are only 5 media opportunities and no open scrimmages. There are two 20-minute periods to watch stretching and drills. Hooray. And the spring game is not televised. The excitement of spring has been sucked right out of the air.
I really don't think VT as an institution realizes how much bigger an impact their requests for more donations would have if they'd just let us see the team in action during the Spring.
I wholeheartedly concur. If you want me to invest in a product, why don't you try to get me a little excited about it or God forbid give me a halfhearted sales pitch. I can't get excited about spring football because I have access to next to no information and I will not be able to watch the spring game. I fail to see how this generates to a better product.
I believe March is the end of the HokieClub giving year. It would've been such an easy win to open up a couple of practices to media and fans and to get some excitement into the air ahead of that. Missed opportunities abound.
What is Fuente trying to hide? I just don't get the isolationist moves.
I'm not convinced he is trying to "hide" anything per se. I suspect he believes it's advantageous to restrict media and fan access to the program. However, he's squandering a natural advantage of Virginia Tech, its rabid fanbase. It makes no sense why spring football, for a 6-7 team, has to be so secretive. Fans have invested a lot of time and money into the program and more and more it the message is 'we'll let you know when we need you'. That's how folks lose interest.
Don't think I've ever heard this stated so clearly.
I'll try tweet @ him and Whit, this helped when we needed a press release about the exodus.
We need more younger voices at the Hokie club soribg meeting making these points.
Puts even more pressure on Fuente to deliver results on the field (now) without generating any goodwill from the "invested fan." If you're only going to give us Saturday's in the fall, that's all we have to judge you on the rest of the year.
First carefully edited video of the spring is out featuring HH completing an out.
0:08 Bud Foster at QB confirmed.
Oh, yes....the slow motion videos that show next to nothing.
Finally I can stop caring about basketball!
You must be a time traveler from April.

White Farmers are Racists
S. African Opposition Slams ANC Member's 'White Farmers are Racists' Remarks, Warns of More Violence
10:28 10 July 2019 Author : Admin4
Last year saw a dramatic rise in brutal attacks on white South African farmers, with violence still showing no sign of abating. The attacks come amid a government policy which envisages that seizure of white farmers' land will not be compensated.
Roy Jankielsohn, leader of South Africa's opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party, has condemned remarks related to white farmers by Mojalefa Buti, a member of the governing African National Congress (ANC) party.
"I immediately raised a point of order on this inflammatory profiling of white farmers. The comment was not only an insult to our farming community but can potentially lead to an escalation of farm attacks, a reality which both farmers and farmworkers live with on a daily basis", Jankielsohn wrote in a message published by South African media outlets.
He added that after an initial attempt to hush up the remarks and claim that they were "historical in nature", Speaker Zanele Sifuba "had to reconsider and […] revert back to the House at the next sitting".
Jankielsohn also bemoaned the fact that despite the speaker's actions, Buti continued to "make derogatory comments about women in the opposition", something which finally prompted Sifuba to force Buti to withdraw his comments due to his "unparliamentary behaviour".
"Following the Speaker's report back on Buti's comments on white Afrikaner farmers, the DA will take the matter further to the rules and orders committee of the Free State Legislature. The DA remains committed to a South Africa that acknowledges the injustices of the past and the building of a one South Africa for all, united in our diversity", Jankielsohn concluded.
His comments come after Buti said during a parliamentary debate late last week that "[white] Afrikaner farmers are racist".
All this comes amid ongoing brutal attacks on white South African farmers, including one which took place in early June, when 62-year-old farm owner Stefan Smit was killed by four gunmen in the town of Stellenbosch.
The murder came in wake of a young white couple being shot and killed in broad daylight by unknown assailants in South Africa after their car ran out of fuel.
Earlier, South African police detained a 40-year-old man on suspicion of brutally murdering 51-year-old farm attack activist Annette Kennealy.
Attacks on white South African farmers skyrocketed by 25 percent in 2018, with assailants using electric drills, blowtorches and bleach against some victims, according to a report released by the Afriforum group, which champions the rights of the country's Afrikaner minority.
Afriforum spokesman Ernst Roets specifically pointed to a "racial element" in the attacks, saying that the number of murders had ebbed to 54 from 72 in 2017, a sign that the white farmers had tried to fend off their attackers. Roets described the developments as a "serious crisis", which he suggested is "only going to get worse".
His remarks came after reports in December 2018 that white farmers in South Africa could be forced to give up their own homes in line with the constitutional go-ahead for land grabs without compensation later in 2019.
In August, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa pledged that the ANC would "finalise a proposed amendment" to the constitution on the land grabs, a measure which he described as "critically important" to the country's economy./ SPUTIK

We have been part of a campaign to stamp Harriet Tubmans image on the $20 bill to cover that of Andrew Jackson. Obama/Biden set up a printing before leaving office to have a woman on the $20. That woman was to be Harriet Tubman. The plates were made, the printers ready for the next printing of the $20 bill. This should have happened at the end of Obama/Biden Administration.

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is conducting research for the UNEP Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) into the effects of climate change on species protected by CMS. Species have been identified as having a high, medium or low vulnerability to the threat of climate change and have been categorised on the basis of a standardised assessment process. This leaflet summarises the emerging results from an assessment of CMS Appendix I species, in order to provide guidance to policy makers at the earliest opportunity.
Biodiversity conservation - that is, the conservation of plants and animals that make up the species richness of a country - is widely recognised as an issue of importance for the South Pacific as it is relevant to family livelihoods, culture and economic development as well as to the unique biological story that these islands possess. The biodiversity of the region is threatened by a broad range of causes including unsustainable logging and fishing, invasive species, pollution, soil erosion, fire, habitat conversion and agricultural run-off.
Many countries are currently looking at growing high-yielding crops for the production of biofuels as alternatives to traditional fuels (petrol and diesel) to address imminent energy shortages and reduce impacts of climate change. This usually involves the importation of foreign (i.e., alien) species of plants that are known for their fast and productive growth.


Local Councils have adopted a collaborative regional approach to the new legislation and have appointed five Animal Welfare Officers to enforce animal welfare in respect of non-farmed animals, only across Northern Ireland.
The Officers will have statutory enforcement powers and can take a range of action to improve the welfare of non-farmed including, providing advice, issuing an improvement notice, taking animal in to their possession, and initiating prosecution action.
Under the Welfare of Animals Act (NI) 2011 a person who is responsible for an animal must ensure that its needs are met, and it is an offence to fail to take reasonable steps to ensure its welfare. Causing an animal unnecessary suffering is also an offence and can be punished with a prison sentence of up to 5 years and an unlimited fine.
Three separate bodies are responsible for enforcement of the Act depending on the type of animals involved and, in some cases, the nature of the welfare issue.
Officers from the enforcement bodies will investigate complaints and can use their statutory powers to take a range of actions including giving advice, issuing legally binding Improvement Notices, taking animals into their possession and prosecution.
report it to the appropriate enforcement body as set out below, providing as much information as possible.
attempt to rescue an animal from another person or property as you may be found to be acting illegally.
District Councils are responsible for enforcement of the Welfare of Animals (NI) Act 2011, as it applies to Non-Farmed Animals. This means domestic pets of any vertebrate species such as cats, dogs, horses and donkeys, etc.
The Council Animal Welfare Officers do not offer re-homing services for unwanted animals but will be able to refer you to other bodies that may be able to help.
All messages will be forwarded to an Animal Welfare Officer on the next working day.
Please note that phone-calls and emails will only be responded to during office hours which are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
If an animal requires urgent attention, you may wish to contact a local vet.
For matters relating to dog straying or dog attacks, please refer to your local Council website.
The Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is responsible for enforcement of the Welfare of Animals (NI) Act 2011, in relation to Farmed Animals. Welfare complaints in respect of Farmed Animals (that is animals bred or kept for the production of food, wool or skin or other farming purposes) should be referred to DAERA.
During office hours which are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, contact DAERA by T: 0300 200 7840.
After 5pm and at weekends if you have a complaint relating to a Farmed Animal contact a local Private Veterinary Practice or the PSNI who will, as necessary, refer the welfare complaint to the relevant "on call" officer.
Welfare complaints in respect of wild animals or animal fighting should be referred to your local Police Station - T: 028 9065 0222.
If your call relates to wildlife crime, badger baiting, poisoning of birds, destroying or disturbing bat roosts, release into the wild of non-native species, trapping wildlife illegally, trade in endangered species, deer poaching or if an animal is on the road or other criminal activity is suspected please contact the PSNI non-emergency number T: 101 or in an emergency T: 999.
Information on animal welfare and how to care for animals is available on NI Direct's Animal Welfare pages.

We Are Chicago was hardly the best game I played at PAX, one of gaming's biggest gaming conventions, last month. It was rough and unfinished. My wife, at another demo station, barely got through it. In trying to depict life on the Windy City's troubled South Side, it's not trying to be fun, but it has to be interesting.
It's not there yet. The team may be biting off more than they can chew, but that could be a good thing.
Chicago, the city I live in, isn't in games often. Yeah, it was the setting for Watch Dogs, but ask any Chicagoan about it: they totally screwed it up. The creators of that game made weird choices about the city's layout. Don't get me started on how it portrayed every poor neighborhood in the city as a slum. That's not the Chicago I know. This is why, despite its issues, I remain deeply curious about We Are Chicago, a game about Chicago being made in Chicago that hopes to convey what it's like to live here.
I want them to get this right, dammit.
We Are Chicago is a brief glimpse into the average life of a teenager living in the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago. Drawing from real experiences, We Are Chicago shows an accurate portrait of the dangers and challenges of living amidst gangs and violence. You need to fight to keep your friends and protect your family and discover the true story of growing up on Chicago's south side.
"The project started as a thought experiment between friends about how you could tell a true story through games," Michael Block, a programmer at the studio Culture Shock that is making the game, told me recently.
Games telling stories isn't novel, but they often have trouble reflecting reality. Most players come to video games expecting to be entertained, not wade through a history lesson. Some games, like last year's This War of Mine, try to walk a fine line, using mechanics to engage. It presents designers with a dilemma that, for the most part, the medium still haven't figured out.
The South Side of Chicago has a notorious reputation for poverty and crime, a narrative earned and exaggerated. South Siders rightly resent the Chiraq nickname because it makes residents and visitors believe 60% of the city a war zone to be avoided at all costs, which isn't really true.
These places end up left behind; the stories of struggle lost to endless statistics, allowing Englewood and others to become neighborhoods read about in the paper but never visited.
Unless, of course, you live there and don't have a choice.
We Are Chicago is a huge departure from Block's last name, Organ Trail, a zombie-fueled take on the educational classic The Oregon Trail. The game's financial success allowed him to take a risk. Thus, a few years back, Block and his team started volunteering around the city and interviewing South Side residents, past and present, to gain an understanding about life on the other, oft-ignored side of the city.
They learned how a recent slate of school closings in the area lead to parents and children dealing with a new round of anxieties. To the outside world, it may have sounded like an inconvenience only requiring waiting on the bus a few extra stops, but it was more than that.
Here's how this translates into a video game.
The demo at PAX Prime last month was on a PC, but it may come to consoles eventually. It opens with a black family getting ready for dinner. The family of three—mother, son, daughter—is currently entertaining a guest, one of the son's high school friends. As the son, you're able to freely walk around the home in first-person, chatting with everyone about their day, while laying out plates and silverware for the coming meal.
That's when the gunshots ring out, causing the family to briefly tense up before resuming dinner. While unsettling, this is "normal" for them, and the presence of idle gunfire is merely a reason to be a little more cautious on the way home, not panic and hide. The police are never called.
When dinner is over, the son's friend heads home, and everyone goes off to bed. The next scene takes place in the morning, as the son and friend head off to school. Along the way, they inadvertently cross paths with a group that instigates a fight. The demo closes with your character getting knocked to the ground, setting the tone for the world of We Are Chicago.
According to the developers, not every situation in the game is life-or-death. They're trying to avoid the negative stereotypes of mass media, which tends to depict places like this as endless strings of violence and depravity. You'll hang out at the park, attend school, talk with friends, go to work, hang out at cookouts, and many other tasks that, while mundane, fill in the blanks of the day.
"We really want people to come away with a better understanding of the day-to-day life in these neighborhoods and an increased empathy for the people living there," said Block.
The developers' intent is good, but much of what they're talking about wasn't present in the demo I played at PAX. It's unclear how this will all tie together. Will the characters be compelling? Can you actually make a barbeque enjoyable for the player? It's one thing to have the desire to make something engaging; it's another to actually do it.
The game's graphics may be an issue. We Are Chicago is trying to realistically depict a set of deeply complicated people, places, and situations. If the game's art style were simpler or more stylistic, it'd be easier to forgive where it's currently falling short. Things like hands accidentally falling through objects, awkward facial animations for the dialogue, and other small details will be crucial to get right, if We Are Chicago wants to accomplish its mission: generate empathy.
When you walk around PAX, you see a lot of the same types of games. Endless 2D platformers, the cyclical big-budget sequels from the usual suspects, and lots of gimmicks vying for attention from a sea of people. We Are Chicago is quiet, contemplative, and may very well end up boring. I can feel myself wanting to give We Are Chicago a more leeway than I'd grant for, say, a new Assassin's Creed. To some extent, that's fair; we're talking about a tiny development studio trying to figure out new ways of storytelling versus yet another open world action game.
It was frustrating to play the game and be disappointed by it, because this is one of those games I want to be good. Besides being about my own city, it represents my own hopes for what games can (and should) be, allowing people a glimpse into the lives of others. When it comes to walking a mile in another person's shoes, video games allow us to walk that walk.
Hopefully, We Are Chicago can pull that off. We'll see.

Her irises swirled again and her frown grew.
But instead of a rim of darker blue surrounding her irises, they were rimmed by a thick band of iridescent silver.
As she stared, the silver seemed to flare into a deep glow and swirl around her irises like cars around a racetrack.
His look was intent, the gold of his irises swirling.
Her irises were half silver.
Another was hunch-backed and dressed in heavy robes despite the heat of the day, and a third man barely taller than her had white irises and silvering hair.
Nearly all the species of plants which grow on these prairies are common to Europe (paeonics, Hemerocallis, asters, pinks, gentians, violets, Cypripedium, Aquilegia, Delphinium, aconites, irises and so on), but here the plants attain a much greater size; a man standing erect is often hidden by the grasses.
The epithet "violet-crowned," used of Athens by Pindar, is due either to the blue haze on the surrounding hills, or to the use of violets (or irises) for festal wreaths.
The small man with white irises drew near her, his eerie, unblinking gaze making her uncomfortable.
Flowering annuals are mainly aquatic. Water lilies, water hyacinths, which are an obstruction in many streams, and irises in rich variety give colour to the coast wastes and sombre bayous.
