I agree. But...
Lets not forget that no matter how creatively you interpret the legislation, case law, and various rulings, advice, guidelines from the Tax Office at the end of the day if they disagree with your intepretation they can charge penalties.. If you choose to take the matter through the courts etc you'll need to devote some serious time and potentially money to your cause..
My own thoughts are, I'll stick within the guidelines of the rulings, every deduction I make against my income can be traced back to specific ATO advice, rulings or unambiguous legislation..
I'll let other blaze the trails, I'll follow
Duncan.
