End of an era indeed! Thanks to everyone that was involved in keeping the forum running.

Thanks for that Rixter, trying to get my ahead CGT implications before seeing accountant and that helped. Thx again

Thanks for that Peter, i was more thinking in regards to when selling the property, having not claimed any depreciation, would that be more beneficial or not (less capital work deductions)? Cheers

Hey guys, just wondering about property depreciation and CGT... I've had my property since 2011 and it's been rented almost all the time since then but i never claimed any depreciation on it as in i never had a depreciation schedule done for it... Does this make any kind of difference if i...

Job vacancies released today weren't bad so i think this will change those ods as in more probability there will be no change in rates

Thanks for the replies guys.

While on the subject of depreciation, I bought an older house in 2011 and never got a depreciation report done, is it possible to start doing that now and claim the past few years? I read somewhere you can up to 2 years but not too sure how that works. Would i lodge that in the coming tax...

That's exactly it! It really comes down to calories in and calories out and for 90% of the population its a bout calories in unless you are an olympian burning 8000 calories a day :) Water is so important because many confuse hunger for thirst... One more thing, do not DIET! Change your...

Another indication is that GS has always promoted 75 cents as a fair value for the AUD so maybe that's where the RBA will draw the line for AUD and either hold on rate cuts or even push up to control the dip in the AUD especially if the US keeps on rallying!

Agreed Aaron, it will depend on what the US does

Thanks very much for all the good info guys, much appreciated. I will be calling in some professional companies that do this stuff since it's obviously not as simple as i though it was going to be, as in ,go to bunnings, buy stuff and install it :) Thanks very much again

Hey guys, Planning on adding a permanent shade structure around the back yard and trying to decide wether to go extra heavy duty tarp way or water resistant Sale Shade. Sale sale fabric looks much neater than tarp but thinking tarp might do the job of keeping the train and sun out a bit...
