Many of those things are so easily able to be claimed, that is why you must have a good accountant. First up, alcohol is one thing, that most people dont realise you can claim, which in fact you can be able to to claim, even if you had one IP approximately 5 bottles of alchol. Or about 5 – 8 bottles a year, for one IP.
lol… i dont have any problems in giving gifts such as alcohol and sex toys for my accountant or solicitor, but im guessing if you have a really good accountant, they can almost justify everything, and put the sex toys, in your favour… [^]
I have no problems in paying for my HECs debt, but why should i have to pay for it now, if i can defer it, the longer i can defer it, the more, i can utlise the cash now, and be able to pay for it, in a later date, Or when i feel comfortable in paying for it. As for the moment, im happy to defer it as long as possible or pay the minimal,…[Read more]

Though, i forgot to mention, if i was to sell, i would instead sell a property that had no depreciation claimable, but would also get the property re-evaluated, before it gets rented out again, to again further the amount of capital gains tax. (though this thing i mentioned, is another whole story on minimisng capital gains tax)

of course, eventually one day i have to pay it back, but in the mean time, the debt today may look big, but over time, that same debt will look smaller, to a point eventually were the HECS debt will look like a small drop, or a small fee, due to what the value of a dollar will be worth in the future.
