I think 2004, maybe 2005?

I only sorted out my tax for 2005-2010 recently, and they were nice to me and refunded all the quarterly BAS payments/fines i'd been paying anyway...so got a 5 figure refund

Haven't been working for the entire financial year, so will be pretty pathetic compared to normally. I'm hoping to get enough for 2x Kumho KU36 tyres and some swaybars, or a full set of Kumhos.
