He's not running a crank lab out of there is he?
I'm sure he provides cleaning services. And I'm not talking about clothes!
i take a swipe at trades as at least 70% of them i have encountered makes an offer in getting cash at a lower rate and trys all kind of things to get it.
a carpenter rightfully admitted to me that he gets paid cash all the time and his accountant said he didn't declare enough when he wanted to get a new ute. So they are rightfully rorting the tax system while ppl like me do an honest living and pay my taxes.
And did you see that Google paid $74K in tax on $8B Aust income last year?
Tradies have got NOTHING on big business and the super wealthy when it comes to tax avoidance (sorry, "tax minimisation, darling").
But nothing feels as good as kicking tramps, I know!

ATO is just tightening the noose.
Taxable payments reporting building and construction industry
Requirement to report total payments for each contractor for the year. Talk about data matching.
http://www.ato.gov.au/content/00319801.htm
I have no doubt that it won't be long before this requirement will encompass all tax payers.
Cheers
Good. We should pay what we owe.
tax minimization vs tax avoidance are 2 separate things.
google employs far more ppl pays super to their employees, company tax etc. Running multiple farms of servers or data centres are not a cheap business and it provides more jobs to other ppl in the country - insurance, trades, electrical, accountants etc.
The ATO is targeting the building industry for a reason this year -don't talk about one trade -say across australia - how much you think has been under table money.
I walked past that shop yesterday. Can you send him across to me when you're done with him?
Hahaha ... make sure you ask him how's business next time.
Kid's Chinese parents gave him money and said "go have fun" and "buy some toys with it".
He travels for 95% of the time (holidaying).
Google has had a greater contribution on the Australian economy and also on our lifestyle choices in general (don't tell me you don't use Google), than the dole bludger (what has a dole bludger than for society?).
Um, Melbournian wasn't talking about dole bludgers, he was talking about tradespeople.
This might come as a great surprise to you, but tradespeople actually do contribute to society.
Our society could survive without Google, it could not survive without electricians or plumbers.
Yea well I was talking about dole-bludgers and was quoting someone else/responding to someone else.
You must have an uncanny ability to read between the lines.
But how would anyone find them without Google!
I reckon there is a great opening for a new product.
It would be like a hard copy of google. Arranged alphabetically. You could just flip through and find the service you required, and the companies that provide them.
I'd make it free to end users, but charge people money to be included in it.
All it needs is a catchy name. Something colour based I think - and you could print the pages in the same colour.
I reckon it's a goer. Just need some investor backing now
Ideo - I'd back you! But looks like willair got started before you.
yeah....I remember when
