Hi, Don’t normally post here now because of the Green words but battleships contacted me. The following is an article I wrote when Hart’s case was decided. It is a bit wordy but worth the read.

Betterbiz,
You may have the right idea as I believe it can be a problem when the ATO and practitioners have the same professional body. But then some ATO staff are CAs so the whole thing needs re alining.Bwendan,
Thanks for the information. I have sent it to the CPAs and asked why.Julia Hartman

What a load of crock Yack,
The reason that vote on merging was taken 5 to 10 yeas ago was because for several year before that the CPAs had had just as stringent membership requirements and training. Yet the CAs some how still thought they were better so voted against the merger. That is all history now and the CPAs are still the major…[Read more]Julia replied to the topic 99% 1% joint ownership ?? in the forum Legal & Accounting 19 years, 10 months ago

Steve,
Thanks for your reply but I don’t quiet understand. This template? How do I remove it from my posts? Please keep it simple my mind has nothing left after dealing with tax law. How do I remove the green words from my posts.Julia

Steve,
The first time I read a post with the green words I assumed the person who wrote the post made the links. I do not want people assuming that with my post as it then appears that I endorse your products. Just as I’m sure you don’t want to be liable for anything I write in forum I don’t want to put my name to anything you are trying to…[Read more]Julia replied to the topic Write off depreciating item in the forum Legal & Accounting 19 years, 11 months ago

It is the ongoing cost of running a smsf that I am talking about. If you use a public fund you will be charged an annual administration fee of between 1 and 2% of the amount invested. If you have your own fund your fixed costs will be between $1,500 to $2,000 per year.
If you have $150,000 in super you are going to pay between $1,500 and $3,000…[Read more]Julia replied to the topic Newbie, got a few Q’s in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 11 months ago

I particularly do not like the green words because it makes it look like I recommend the product. I think it is very unethical of Steve to edit my posts in such a way.

This rollover relief only applies in America. Robert Kiysaki talks and writes about it but it does not apply in Australia, he is from the US. In special cases such as compulsory acquisition rollover is allowed otherwise it is only available to active assets of a business and it specifically excludes assets that have been used to…[Read more]

You can roll over other super into your own SMSF. From 1st July, 2005 you will be able to specify which super fund your employer pays into. Careful having your own SMSF as the running costs don’t really make it worth it unless you have over $150,000 to invest.Julia Hartman

To All,
It is not normally a strategy I recommend because it is so costly to set up but a superfund can enter into a joint venture and the other party borrow money. You have to make sure that any property owned directly by the super fund is not used as security but this is possible within a joint venture. Peter Kane at Maroochydore does the…[Read more]

Wayne,
Your cost base is made up of buying costs such as stamp duty and selling costs such as commission plus holding costs such as rates. Travel costs cannot be included in any of these.
The capital gain is the difference between the selling price and the cost base. You can deduct from this any capital losses on other assets then half it for the…[Read more]Julia replied to the topic Purchasing Business in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 11 months ago
