not everyone has the opportunity to shop at duty free on weekly basis

Even some duty free outlets are rather exy

Speaking of which rules changes will mean not much LAFHA anymore

my understanding of the changes means some companies using it as a tax dodge will be decreasing it. people like us who use it honestly and get reamed by the ATO anyway will continue using it as intended.

when I was claiming kms, meal allowances and LAHA my untaxed income was high which was punishing. why not just tax it all because its going to be taxed from me regardless.

listening to ABC radio today (only thing in reception) and it makes me angry that ABC spends all day interviewing and reporting on academics and political figures to talk about politics all day, all of who are basically in the public sector. everyone talking about what should be done, but nothing actually getting done. and no ad revenue means its 100% funded by the government. all the crap they were reporting and discussing could be summed up in a 60min program.

how about lets abolish ABC2, ABC3, ABC24 and ABC classical radio and broadcast important programs on commercial stations for providing unbiased *cough* national information. would it not be much cheaper and more efficient that way?

tl;dr: people paid by the government interviewing people in the government, talking about how to improve the government, broadcasted to those who pay for the government and/or are paid by the government.

Some of the changes:

1. You need to maintain an 'ownership interest in a unit of accommodation in Australia - not rented

2. Substantiation of all expenses

So unless you 'own' a property your going to have a bad time. And by bad time I mean your employer

free tax advice to offset your soldering work

Have been quoted $10k to supercharge my SS-V or $10k to single turbo it. Thoughts?

dude you are stanced on 245s, with either SC or turbo it is going to be the worst thing to drive...lol....SC will probably be worse on the street cause too much torque it will just light up tyres everywhere...i guess at least the turbo will give you some warning and time to catch it, before it launched you into oblivion...

My mate has a built LS7? , its a 7lt supercharged monaro.. he took the SC off cause it was just too ridiculous to drive...
