    Glandular Fever

    Skater, sorry, I don't mean to alarm you. Just making you aware that it is a potential issue. I admit to acting cavalierly when I had glandular fever. I still played football etc. It was only after she died that I did a bit of research and found it is a symptom. Fortunately not many people...

    Thanks for the link dwyerfam. I believe the Sunday Mail article was focusing on the following from the AAT ruling: 44. The Commissioner relies on this authority to submit that once an amount of money is deposited into an account that already contains funds the account becomes a mixed pool...

    Something To Be Careful Of ...

    The article in question is by Julia Hartman of bantacs accountants and refers to a recent AAT case - Domjan and Commissioner of Taxation 2004. It looks like it has serious ramifications for anyone who channels borrowed funds through a personal cheque account as opposed to using a bank cheque...
