It’s the new financial year, which means millions of Aussies are about to get a boost of sweet, sweet cash thanks to their long-awaited tax return. And do you know what a whole lot of those people will spend that money on? HOLIDAYS!
The average tax rebate is $3,600. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect amount of cash to splash on a much-needed holiday?
Admittedly there are a host of items, experiences and necessities that Australians typically put their tax refund towards.
According to H&R Block the majority of people (37%) will put this money into savings while others (29%) will put it towards general living expenses.
But 11% of the population will spend it on a holiday! HELLO AGENTS, ENTER CASHED UP CUSTOMERS READY TO SPEND!
“According to H&R Block research carried out in 2016, 11% of Australia chose to spend some or all of their refund on the holiday of a lifetime.”
