    Not that any of us honest, law abiding forum crawlers would ever dream of claiming llegitimate expences but just in case you know someone who does…

    Comes out every year. I reckon it is just a reminder to everyone as they do their tax.

    Nothing to worry about if you are above board.

    I think the biggest issue they should look at is the bogus depreciation schedules produced by developers flooging their products.

    Have seen units bought for $150,000 from a developer with $133,000 in depreciable costs and capital allowances.

    Hmmmm $17,000 to cover land, profit and selling fees.

    Don’t think so.

    Mentioned to a ATO guy who admitted they were aware of it.
