PropertySeeker,

In the accounting circles, its commonly called the Section 221D form.

Its basically a form to instruct your employer to take out less tax each month in anticipation of a tax refund (due to negative gearing).  Instead of getting a big refund after lodging your tax return, you may get 1/12th of your refund every month instead (via lower tax taken out rom your employer).

You don't necessarily get a bigger refund from lodging S221D form, just sooner.  So you benefit from the earlier cashflow (time value of money).

Feel free to shoot me an email.  I've written an article on this recently which gives you a numerical example.
