All the schemes.
Yeah.
The income protection insurance, it's one of those things where people are like, oh, well, I've got work cover, so I don't need it.
But I always think, because I play footy on weekends, mate, I see some of my friends get injured or even I'm okay because I work behind a desk.
Even if I broke my leg, I could probably still work.
Whereas a lot of people that are manual labor or whatever, if they hurt themselves and they don't have some sort of
income protection, and if they're a sole breadwinner for their family or whatever, they can be stuffed.
So I always say to them, well, look at getting income protection.
It's boring.
I know you've got to pay it.
I know.
But one thing is because it's linked to your income, you could potentially have it as a tax deduction.
You can also get it inside super, but then it's a different ballgame from a tax perspective.
Now, just to confirm this with you,
Let's say worst case scenario, I injured myself and I need to claim on my income protection insurance.
If I get, say, I don't know, just pull and figure out $5,000 a month from my income protection insurance.
If I was on that this year, do I have to put that in my tax return?
Okay, cool.
Just one final question for me.
Do you know roughly what the average tax return is most years?
