A new survey of over 1,000 Australians has highlighted the stress and barriers they face during tax time, with almost one in three finding the end of the financial year and tax submission time to be stressful, and a fifth preferring to pick up their pooches poop than complete their tax return.

When asked to choose, the majority of Australians would prefer to participate in other activities such as scooping up canine poop (19 percent), making small talk with an unpleasant neighbour (18 percent), sitting in the middle seat on a long-haul flight (17 percent), and getting a filling at the dentist (16 percent).
