It’s that time of the year.
Appointments are filling fast.
Please ensure you call the office on 0359022645 to ensure you get a set time for you.
Emails are tricky to set appointments as the time set may not work into your time table so always best to give us a call.

VICTORIAN STATE BUDGET.
Is anyone going to be watching with anticipation like we will be?

For a few weeks the media has been murmuring a few things to come into play…. The 50% CG extend T discount being removed? Hopefully grandfathered in. It maybe for investments purchased after a budget date but any prior may have a indexation formula for when the asset is sold - don’t worry 😉 we accountants will have this sorted 😭😭😭😭

Focusing on cost of living, health, education, safety and the economy.

Although we do not anticipate a huge change as there is not much in our Victorian kitty, we do hope that it does help ALL Victorians.

Self Education expenses.
A tough area to ascertain if you can claim back the course fees or not.
Happy to have a chat with your inquiry on 03 59022645.

Here’s the scene: you’re a server at a restaurant.

Your boss says you should complete a commercial cookery course to get your dream job as a chef 🧑‍🍳

Fast-forward to tax time. Can you claim this as a work-related self-education expense?
