All Topics / Legal & Accounting / second hand stuff purchased for IP
Hi people
Just wondering if you have bought some second hand stuff from individuals for your IP, I think they are tax deductible?
If so, what do you need to for a proper receipt? It seems too easy to fabricate.
If you can’t prove it how can you justify it at a tax audit. Get a receipt book, put in the purchase details & seller’s name. You can’t claim the gst, as there is none.

As long as the receipt can identify the seller & amount, it should suffice. Most people aren’t registered for gst, so can’t issue a tax invoice.
