I'd be really disappointed if anyone in my team gave you the advice you've received. Without knowing specifics, it's not possible to…

Generally any vehicle under the car cost (depreciation) limit that you have business use for is worthwhile. The main benefit of putting it…

They're pretty poor quality, but ok for a little. Certainly didn't live up to the expectations or advertising

Only if you're taking it with you overseas. Strictly speaking, you also can't bring it back into the country, otherwise you need to declare…

As others have mentioned, one of the key things to be aware of is FBT on novated leases. What I have been unable to find above however is…

As a tax agent who deals with all of the software, Xero is by far the simplest, most intuitive and easiest to work with from an integration…

Depends on the drive and board, however it's my understanding that even if you were using only a PCIE 3 board and a reduced bandwidth slot…

Not minimisation, delay. Bucket companies are only useful if you have excess funds as any private use of company money is covered by…

Apologies for the late reply. As far as audits go, it doesn't seem that abnormal; it appears there has been a pattern of larger than usual…

Find a good tax agent and use them. The ATO is much easier to deal with through a tax agent, and the agent will also, hopefully, advise you…

The ATO's review window for non-business individuals and small business entities, regardless of whether they are an individual or…

No, it's in the exclusions

I bought an Australian one from Amazon on 28/12/2023 for $899; so the pricing isn't that great

Be aware that there are often timeframes of notification to your insurance company required; failure to do so can result in claims being…

My guess is that it's because either Apple or Google are adding a cost to it. Likely cheaper to go via the website directly and logging in…

Sleeping Duck, far more comfortable

Can do that with the Hue app too, although not sure if the functionality extends as far as the paid options
