It's a bit like Outstanding Breakouts! "IF ONLY I'D KNOWN YESTERDAY" :D

Don't mind me, got a chq from the Tax Off today, so opened a bottle of cheap fizzy wine. :D :D :D

Sorry that was my bad.
Can you please explain to me how a successful trader would get regular (3months) cheques from the ATO and why?
 
Nizar
Successful traders usually have to pay the tax office every three months (quarterly PAYG installment), well I certainly do.
Maybe after all I am not successful.
I just got my quarterly for Oct to Dec today have to pay them by 28th Feb.

Actually it was my tax return. :D Ex Boss paid a lot more tax for me than he had to. (situation normal) & I sent my return in late (also situation normal).
So you wont hear this often, esp on this forum, "Thanks ATO" :p: :D :p:

Be wary of going over to ETrade. I recently moved from ComSec to ETrade on the back of a promise of 10 free trades. However, after 7 trades they charged me brokerage on my 8th trade. When I told them they first denied it, but then put it down to a computer error. They didn't want to give me a refund, but another free trade instead. I spoke to one of the managers there this morning and she was rude and bothered about the situation. In the end I hope I do get a refund of brokerage paid as ETrade broke their promise of 10 free trades without even an apology. I'll be finding a newe broker very shortly as ETrade is very frustrating and arrogant to deal with.
 
I am thinking to open an Etrade account and transfer some of my COMSEC shares into it to benefit from the $550 worth of trade. When creating an Etrade account do I need to open a saving account as well to link for payment of transactions or can I use my CDIA or any other CBA account ? :confused:

I had the same thing happen last year, and got the same reaction from them, rude and arrogant. Never did get the refund, only the extra trades after much argument. Anytime anything goes wrong, it seems you get the same reaction, denial followed by arrogant dismissal. I think they regard customers as a necessary evil they have to tolerate in order to make a profit.

That is interesting feedback but then $550 worth of trades for just transfering shares in my case from Commsec to Etrade for 2 months is still worth a try.
I actually just tried to open an Etrade account on line but the HIN number provided by Commsec is rejected by the Etrade site saying that is incorrect. Would you know how to check this as I understand this HIN number is the same for all my Commsec shares?

Thanks
 
Etrade free trade offer

Hi,

I understand you can get some free trade opening an account online with Etrade. Can anyone send me the link to do that ?

Cheers
 
Account comes with quite luggage, but doable >


Terms and Conditions – Receive up to $550 in free brokerage.

*Offer applies to new accounts opened via the ‘apply now’ button on this page between 27 November 2006 and 31 December 2008, and is only open to residents of Australia and New Zealand.

Offer is not valid in conjunction with any other offer and is not open to existing E*TRADE Australia and ANZ E*TRADE customers, or to staff, institutional and intermediary clients of E*TRADE Australia.

International trades are not included in this offer. E*TRADE Australia's standard brokerage is $32.95 (GST-inclusive) on ASX-listed equities trades up to $30,000, and 0.11% (GST-inclusive) on trades over that amount.

For the purpose of this Offer, total brokerage up to a maximum value of $550 (GST-inclusive) will not be charged on your first 10 ASX-listed equities trades executed within the first 60 days of account being opened ("Qualifying Period") with a trade value of up to $50,000. Trades must execute within the Qualifying Period to qualify for this Offer.

The brokerage value on your first 10 ASX-listed equities trades where E*TRADE Australia's standard brokerage does not exceed $55.00 (GST-inclusive; equivalent trade value $55,000) will be deducted from the $550 Offer value, until the Offer value has been reached. No brokerage will be shown on the E*TRADE Australia contract notes issued in respect of such trades. Where any of the trades has a value in excess of $50,000, E*TRADE Australia will charge brokerage at its standard rate (0.11%, GST-inclusive) on the excess in trade value above $50,000. These charges will be disclosed on your E*TRADE Australia contract note. Brokerage charged on trades above $50,000 will not form part of this Offer, and will not count toward the $550. This Offer is not redeemable for cash and is not transferable. Any portion of the Offer value unused within the Qualifying Period will be forfeited.

Normal E*TRADE Australia trading account opening and maintenance conditions apply unless otherwise specified here. Applicants must be 18 years or over.

Account must remain open for six months.

We reserve the right to terminate this offer at any time without notice. We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time without notice.
