Mining Consultant (Metallurgist)

Presently working in the middle of China - Good, bad and ugly.

Good - US$ and little tax - I should have me a GRT by the end of the year

Bad - middle of bloody no where, few other expats, crickets for dinner....

Ugly - 12 hour days, 120 days straight

I represent  a manufacturer of printers, look after WA,SA & NT.  

The GTST is my 'work car' if the tax dept ever asks any of you. I get a car allowance for it. And those mods I did are actually "repairs" to worn out components.:rolleyes:

i need a job like this or become a contracter so i can pull the same swifty on the tax office.

I have similar deal, as I am a contractor with my own Pty Ltd. My company owns the car and I have to pay FBT on it, but if your modifying (oops I meant repairing) you come out in front. Other bonus in WA is multi-nova infringements get sent to company, and you are asked politely to inform them who the driver was. There is no law obligating the company to tell them, so you just ignore it and they go away. I have had two of these I ignored over 2 years back, so no fine/demerits/record that may effect insurance.
