Sorry Calron – youre saying you turn things into gold?

That would make you an Alchemist, wouldnt it? What on Earth is Alcamie?

Hi hotshot,

I think you better check your data – according to the ABS, the population of Broken Hill in 1996 was 21,356, not 3,528.

Hi kp,

The report is correct. The 12 month CGT concession is not available for trusts, but rather only what the ATO calls “natural persons” ie individuals.

EDIT: My apologies kp, I didnt read the question properly and was mixing up your issue with another [angry2]. Here is the relevant info:

What is the CGT discount?

Hi Lucifer,

The ATO arent “going after trusts”..

They are going after bankrupts. Do you think you should personally be able to claim bankruptcy, potentially owing other people millions of dollars, yet still be able to protect your own multi million dollar portfolio?

I thought the idea worked both ways – in order to secure your financial future…[Read more]

Anyone know the right answer?

OK.

The reason I ask is that each state has different stamp duty and land tax levies. Some states have altered both, some changed one or the other, and some have yet to make changes to either.

The best thing I can suggest doing is looking at
the Office of State Revenue website for each state and compiling an overview of specific changes for…[Read more]

Hi westan,

Hi Bionic,

The easiest way to access this data without paying for it is to contact a local real estate agent. Approach them with the notion that you are looking to buy in the area/street, and youd like an overview of property sales over the past X years. NSW agents have access to RPData listings of registered property sales dating back to 1930…[Read more]

Steve, Im wondering why you seem incensed at “biased” reporting when you seem to want to create your own meanings for well established words…

In any dictionary in the world, a millionaire has assets with a net value of over one million dollars.

But in your dictionary, someone with 50 thousand dollars is a millionaire?

Im intrigued as to how…[Read more]

Hi Steve,

I have a problem with this. You make a sensational claim, then you change the meaning of the phrase you use to suit the purposes of your spiel.

For instance, if I said someone was a Stockmarket millionaire, would it be fair to say most poele would assume that their net worth was 1 million plus? If I claimed I was responsible for that…[Read more]

Hi Kay,

I guess Im reading it a different way…

IMHO, Steve doesnt apologise for making a misleading comment – rather he apologises if people perceive what he said to mean something different from what he intended.

Im of the opinion that Steve knew full well that calling people “Property Millionaires” would imply that they were in fact…[Read more]
