OzBargain has been good to me over the years, saving me loads of cash and giving me product advice in the comments. To repay the favour I am giving the OzBargain community a special offer to my semi-popular technology related email newsletter, The Sizzle. Every weekday I send an email out covering the latest tech news in a brief, entertaining and down to earth format. Been doing it for almost 7 years now!

Instead of the usual 14-day trial, OzBargainers can get a 90-day trial, absolutely free. No need to worry about forgetting the trial and paying accidentally as I don't ask for payment details, just your email address.

I've given promo offers on OzBargain before: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/thesizzle.com.au, but this is the best promo yet I reckon. There's probably 200+ OzBargain members that are paying subscribers of The Sizzle so if it's good enough for them to pay me, it's good enough for you to not pay and try it out for 90 days!

    • It's 100% slim and low on crap waffle - you know what I'm talking about, with paid sponsor hidden bits

    Not only is The Sizzle the easiest way to keep up with the important tech news without sitting in my own RSS feeds all day, it's literally saved me well more than the subscription price in bargain links each year. Arguably. Assuming I needed to buy all of the bargains, of course.

    And (big IANAL warning) as an industry publication, it's deductible if you work in tech (not a lawyer, correct me if I'm wrong).

    Definitely worth trying out for 3 months to see if it tickles you. I've subscribed since issue #7 and never even thought of dropping the sub after my first free week.

    • bjeanes on 10/03/2022 - 17:54

    • Store Repdecryption @ The Sizzle on 10/03/2022 - 18:01

      It is absolutely tax deductible. Info direct from the horses mouth: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/income-and-deductions/ded…

      "You can claim a deduction for books, periodicals and digital information you use as part of earning your employment income, if you incur the expense. Books and periodicals may include library subscriptions, academic journals, technical journals, reference books and similar. Digital information services may include online subscriptions, electronic material, such as e-books or e-journals and other digital materials you buy."

      Instant $50 tax deduction for paying subscribers :)

        Further down on the same page you referenced is this requirement.

        is mainly used for earning your assessable employment income (not from carrying on a business)

        A general tech publication (which I assume this is from the comments - I haven't read it myself) for most people isn't directly related to earning one's income. It provides general knowledge on a subject related to one's field of employment but it's hard to argue that it's "mainly used for earning your assessable employment income"

        I've had this discussion with my tax agent and her advice, based on experience from clients that have been audited, is this isn't tax deductible.

  • OzBlackman99 on 10/03/2022 - 17:53

    Best thing you'll ever spend money on from my perspective. Something about Anthonys writing style just brings a smile to the face irrelevant of what it is.

    I saw The Sizzle get mentioned on twitter a few times. When I looked into it I saw it was a paid newsletter. I was like "WTF?! Why would I pay for a newsletter?! Those things should be free". Anyway one of @decryption's deals popped up here. It seemed cheap, so I gave it a shot. I managed to get a discounted renewal too. This year I paid full price and I'm still happy.
