In the spirit of Halloween, we’re talking about the spookiest things our clients have ever asked of us as small business owners.
My favourite so far? “Can we just skip email and you use the fax?”
What would you add to this list?

Not sure what the problem is, for one of my clients, I used to take her to the chemist, hairdresser, doctor, I even sold her Mercedes Benz for her.
Thats the problem now a days, our business card says we are Digital marketers, and we can’t think outside the box.

When I say “home” I mean the dwelling they are living in at the time of claiming the deduction. There was a racket a while ago purporting to have designed a legitimate scheme for achieving this – called the home loan unit trust arrangement. (and someone once promoted it here from memory). Suffice to say its not accepted by the ATO. https://www.ato.gov.au/law/view/document?locid=%27TXR/TR200218/NAT/ATO
Of course you can move out of your home, rent it out and claim a deduction for the interest but at that point its not your home (but can be a main residence under the absence rule if you elect for up to six years).

Jacqui-that is brilliant to hear we are not alone at Legal123! We often hear that REGULARLY: ‘it should cost less as we drafted our terms/the work ourselves”!!! 😮 This often means more work for us! -
