Business & Finance Claiming for tax

[HairyO]

If you do get caught, it’s usually a low security prison. More like a farm.

With conjugal visits?

Won't need them when you're being pounded in the ass

Give a man a vegetable he’ll eat for a day. Send him to a low security prison farm, teach him to grow them and he’ll eat for a lifetime. And no longer cheat on his taxes.

I yearn for a simpler life

One of my friends got a letter last year saying that he's claiming significantly higher than other people in comparable jobs, and if he does it again he'll be audited.

I received a similar letter but not a threat of audit. I use an accountant now, haven't had a similar letter in the last two years.

 

[Agent93]

I don’t have that many receipts

Unless you're paying cash for everything you're going to have records on your account statements which are good enough as far as proof of expenditure goes.

My father got audited and fined many years ago for claiming too many unsubstantial deductions on his tax returns. Even after the fine, he worked out that he was still a fair way ahead.

A bit but you can make general claims for a few things for say <$200 total and the ATO won't bother with receipts. The big items obviously need receipts and if you're claiming $1000s on little bits and pieces it will look suss.

You’re pretty close unless they’ve changed the substantiation rules this year. Basically with work related expenses, you have to be able to substantiate your claims for deductions with written evidence only if the total amount of deductions you are claiming is greater than $300. Every good Accountant should be putting in $300 worth of deductions for everyone even if they don’t need to claim that much, as no receipts are required up to a total of $300.

Don’t rort the system system is my advice, as you will have to pay a penalty, plus interest and can end up with a criminal conviction for fraud.

Already lodged my return.

If you rob a servo, you don't have to pay tax on whatever you take.

[Billy ray]

Can I claim the cost of a bigfooty premium membership? I am on bigfooty 100% of the time i am working

try to rob a bank and either way you're not paying for your food or accommodation out of your own money for the next 10 years

I got one too
But it's because I'm legit claiming my uni fees, so I'm fine.

I lodged mine after I left 5 minutes into the third quarter of the debacle on the other side of the country.

You're paying for your uni fees up front? Poor you. And the course is related to you current field of employment?

Not up front. And yes

 

[Golden_6]

Not up front. And yes

Not up front as in taking on a HECS debt?

Anyone been stung by the ATO?

Worst I've got is a polite letter for lodging a couple of returns at once (had some overseas income one year which pushed past June 30 and I ended up missing the October deadline through laziness but they didn't really care because at the end of it I didn't owe them anything).

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I lodged 4 or 5 at once and they didn't care at all

 

[Scotland]

Generally they don't care unless you're an individual and you owe them a decent amount of money.

They owed me a few grand so no wonder they didn't chase me

 

[Scotland]

That's how they roll.
