)call service central and ask to speak to Daniel Ahchow , or his Father ("Bruce" the founder, whom I gave my thoughts to on the insulation debacle whilst enjoying a Bourbon or 2),
Even though Im probably not totally liked by them (I say my mind) I can vouch for the fact that they respect their integrity and their reputation as a business..
they will sort it or "contact me through a personal message" and I will do it as a Karma deal (you owe me a beer or two if I visit Sydney when I retire ,,,,roughly 4 years,,, that could be a small fortune by then

This is funny
what if ATO turn around and said you helping him dodging tax? and want to start auditing you instead?
Um, by your own evidence, you have no receipt but plan to claim the expense. That's illegal.
Hi roe,
Firstly plumber asked for cash without receipt.
ATO can audit me all they like,i have nothing to hide nor do i tax dodge.
Now sour grapes is funny

Um, why would you be paying a tradie in beer rather than cash, unless it were to avoid tax? By law, they're supposed to declare the value of the beer as income, and remit GST, and pay super, etc. on it, so doesn't giving $50 of beer rather than $50 cash just overly complicate things?

Of course, that's not what happens: the only reason a tradie would ask for payment in beer is because they're intending not to declare the income, pay GST, etc., in which case you can't claim the expense, either.
Paying tradies in cash without a receipt, or in beer etc., is being complicit in tax fraud. I'm not suggesting it's crime of the century, but you have to know that you at least have to keep it on the down-low and not be claiming the beer on your tax return!
If you think you can claim the beer, then to quote from the Princess Bride: "I do not think 'legit and reasonable' thinks what you think it means".
That's fine, but it's not a deductible expense.
I remember having a ding-dong of an argument a few years ago about this topic over on Steve McNight's site.
Go to the local hardware shop and get some "builder's bog".
Nothing better for the plumber's crack.
OK, I read it as "I will once it's tenanted"; my mistake, apologies.
You didn't. I (mis)interpreted it that way, for which I've already apologised.
I think people only raised the tax angle in response to you saying that you were contacting the ATO. I think we're perplexed what on Earth this would have to do with the ATO, if you weren't threatening to dob the plumber in for tax evasion or something. Otherwise I can't imagine what this has to do with the ATO.Spades said:
