Who are the ****ing Gideons? Ever met one? No. Ever seen one? No. But they're all over the ****ing world putting bibles in hotel rooms.
Love me some Dark Poet.
WFMB: That magical time of year when SOO is over and the people who don't give a **** about the sport suddenly stop giving a **** about the sport for another year.
WFMB: Picking up a brand new car one week before that useless tit Rudd changes the FBT laws (so I'm exempt).
WGMG: Having to sell my old car.
Briefly (on phone). You used to just put a blanket 80/20 split between work/personal use on company cars on your tax return. The more you put as business use the less liable for Fringe Benefits Tax you are. Rudd changed it so now regardless of what you claim, you need to keep a log book for every business journey to justify the tax break. So yeah, a 2 minute drive to a meeting, yep, get your pencil and pad out.
Mind, it's Rudd so the policy will change 20 times between now and being implemented but he's put a shiver through the industry, from car makers to leasing companies through to workers who salary sacrifice cars to save on tax. It just means that now everyone will have to lie in a log book instead of a tax return. More paperwork/admin for business and more admin/audit from the public service to implement it.
This from the man who vows to cut red tape for small business and make things easier.
He's a dickhead.
All this shit to pay for the demise of a carbon tax which no one wanted, and for which we'll still be getting compensation for. Why not just get rid of the compensation? Because that's bad PR and its better to go after the 'wealthy business owners in their BMW's'. (Abbott and his bunch of idiots are keeping the compensation too).
More class war bullshit from Labor and more anti business policy (small business being the single largest employer in Australia).
Onya Kev.
Ok before boffins and lefties wanna pick apart my generalizations here take it to the politics thread.
So your current car is fine but any contract entered into after last Tuesday will be subject to the new rules ( which you can find on the back of a napkin somewhere at Labor HQ).
/end rant.
Love Kev :wub:
That's harsh.
Stupid thing is though, that this continual war on the 'rich' doesn't work because the better you go, the better accountant you can afford and they know the way round it.
I have a great accountant and im technically (personally) a poor bastard so I don't pay tax income tax and haven't for years. I get family tax benefits and a health care card and everything. its a ****ing rort but what the hell.
It's your Ma and Pa Kettle doing their E-Tax that always end up footing the bill.
You called for the boffins/lefties to respond http://i.imgur.com/rcBg3N2.gif
If you are in a position where you have a car for these purposes then you probably don't have much else to worry about, so I can understand the concern.
:gent:
Where's my tiny violin?
Oh dude please don't think I'm after any sympathy at all.
I just feel (kind of) sorry for all the workers out there footing the bill for this stuff.
Anyway, moving forward and all that.
Stop stirring up us lefties, we've just had 3 years of blight
Mine is a fleet car not a novated lease car so think mine works differently. Maybe. Hopefully.
Port.
Finally getting stupid OT acknowledged and locking in a day in lieu for future use.
Did I mention port? Thank you Log Press Old Tawny :gent:
Hahaha.. I've never been able to get in to Port..
A bunch of the Gardo boys always get stuck in to the Port and Lemonade (i think thats what it is.. Usually while they are trying to pick up fatties or cougars at the Exchange.. They know who I'm talking about.. hahaha)
a flagon of mcwilliams port, anything else is not worth the time of day
on the subject, i believe there is little more tasteless and classless than brandy & blue powerade, a special drink for that special lady
Its winter so it must be stones green ginger.

Just home from celtic v st johnstone. 2 -1 to celtic.
Rogic warmed the bench for the entire match, but a few locals were calling for him to come on with about twenty to go.
Thought the standard of play was exactly the same as the a-league.
