Dear All,
Does anyone here have an idea of how much one can claim on one's tax return for being on a strata committee? I am the treasurer of mine, and this year have done so much, and I'm just wondering what is a reasonable amount to claim.
I have been busy with it constantly, organising tradesman's quotes, meeting with new managing agents to try and find a decent one (so I don't have to get the quotes anymore next year!), finding an auditor to see why the funds are in the negative, inspecting the property (we had a drama with a plumber we had not approved breaking a pipe and damaging the property) and organising/informing the other owners. I haven't claimed for it before, but this year I really need to reduce my income as much as possible and my bank won't let me prepay interest for the next financial year. It's been like a part-time job, getting the strata organised, so I am just wondering whether I can claim more then like $30 in phone calls and stamps which is what my accountant ususally does.
Many thnaks in advance!
