    That is correct. Weg, many professionals, doctors, accountants, lawyers do plan their holidays around conferences to obtain tax benefits. It depends on how well off the individual is as to whether they fly first, business or economy or whether they stay in 6 star versus 3 star. Even though...

    I think the other consideration is whether the trip is for business or leisure. If it is for leisure, then without doubt, economy or premium economy is likely the way to go. However, I think if the trip is for business and there is ATO sponsorship and you wish to aim for maximum productivity...

    I am counting on the ATO to help with the bill for this business trip. I think that accommodation is claimable and whether I stay in 6 star hotel or backpacker hut, that should be a tax deductible expense.

    I have not heard of IWC or Dornbluth but then I am not a watch wearer. I used to ride a lot of road bikes in my late teens and early 20s. Then I became quite anxious about serious injuries and took up jogging instead.

    This is called keeping up with the Jones' in common Australian parlance. What about the latest iphone, yacht, mercedes, sofa, mansion, holiday home? I guess we all have to splash out sometime and live for the present.

    We all have had our regrettable purchases and impulse buys that we come to regret. 1. A 5k treadmill that I have only used 3 times since I bought it two years ago. I thought this was going to turn me into a super fit marathon runner. 2. A 4k black leather sofa - looked very good in the...
