Be careful what you wish for. Deductions are associated with revenue. If you want to deduct your mortgage payments, get excited to pay CGT…

A nice sentiment, expressed cruelly.

For anybody who might be thinking “Hmm, I might try this as my first rum seeing as people are saying that it’s sweet” or something…

I'll have a think about this. Maybe I should look at getting a better AmEx card with better return rates (assuming I can get value given…

Thanks Autonomic - is the idea then you'd probably want to have a plan for spending your points before you're due to cancel a card if you…

Thanks, I will have a look at that site. Will I need to use or convert my AmEx points before moving on from them, or will they hang around…

I'm sure it is - I just want to make sure I get started right I suppose. I was afraid, for example, that if I have AmEx points banked up,…

Hi guys, Just a request for the benevolence of those knowledgeable in these matters. I'd like to become more savvy when it comes to credit…

Issue with the Armaf is inconsistent quality re longevity.

Us real not-coffee-connoisseurs look down upon your watered down variety of not being a coffee connoisseur, as you clearly care too much.…

I seek the opinion of the hive mind. I'm in the market for some cheap but reliable dog clippers for infrequent but long-term use. Of course…

Good point. There is an idiot in most of us that shows up exclusively when we're behind the wheel of a car.

A story is not good enough to satisfy Part IVA. You need objective evidence of purpose, and evidence that a non-tax benefit was obtained.…

The fact sheet specifically refers to unused, i.e. residual, amounts. Don't put it beyond the ATO to hunt down blatant schemers. It will be…

If the re-contribution were incidental, then it would be fine. An issue would only arise where, as OP is suggesting, people withdraw the…

I don't think so. I believe this would be classified a a scheme of which the dominant purpose is to obtain a tax benefit, and therefore any…

Have a read of Part IVA of the ITAA 1936.

I just thought I'd comment on this to point out that I didn't notice that OP intends to borrow against his home. Presumably this would…

The problem people have with your idea is that you intend to lever your investment. When you wish to buy into the market because it is low…

Yes mine was seemingly brand new.

Did it come in sealed plastic wrapping?

SOOCAS50OFF gave me $30 with free shipping for the shaver.

Only the costs of buying/running the car that are attributable to that one fare..

ATO don't make the rules

Being into kitchen knives, can you recommend a OzBargainlyish-priced set/brand that is decent enough for general but long-term use by…
