GST is generally the government's money. I collect GST on the government's behalf, so there's no worming my way out of it or reducing it, hiring an accountant is just gonna add to dollars that fly away . As a wise once man said, the tax office is bad enough when you don't pay them your money, imagine what happens when you don't pay them their money.

PAYG on the other hand for me is an estimated ass raping 15 percent. Haih, can i argue that my uni education will help my advancement as a taxi driver? Atleast that's deductible. Food costs cannot claim, they figure you'll have to eat anyways

Chinese retaurant sounds good right now. I just gave the ATO 220 bux which could have been used for many KFCs.

PSSTT : Anyone know how to cheat on tax here?

empire23: Correct me if I'm wrong but you are only required to register for GST if your turnover is above 75k. I'm sure your turnover isn't anywhere near that so are cab drivers an exception to that?

There's no real way to 'cheat' tax (legally), but there are ways to minimise tax.

I'm technically a sole trader and yeah, cab drivers are an exception because our fare is GST inclusive.

Minimizing is really hard, because there are little in terms of cost here. I could have done fuel cost deduction and maybe upped the cost a little , but my bailor takes care of my fuel costs.

Anyways, anyone have a first home saver account? Seems like a good way to rip off taxpayer money by getting 17 percent govt contribution and get it tax free at that, although the catch is that you can only take it out in 4 years and that there's a limit to how much Canberra will pay . Seems like a good idea if you're going to get a PR Visa.

flies are very annoying ...

If u score an average of around 75% as well in the final exam, you will most probably obtain TER 90 and above. Marks around 75% should give the grade of 16B.

oh yea true true....damn my economics noobness...anyway i dun think rudd is taht green leh....the green's just slammed the labor govt according to today's mX....but i dun like those greenies.....damn they still think that global warming will stop if we all do nth the whole day but just sit around campfire, smoke weed n play guitar....

anyway talking bout flies....this year got locust plague leh.....how ah will it attack the cities??!?!?!?

I am planning to take up Construction Management ( or so called Quantity Surveying) in Australia.

And i already applied for 7 universities:

UNSW
University of melbourne
Curtin university
RMIT
Queensland uni of technology
Deakin university
University of south australia

Which uni above-mentioned are famous in offering the course?

If all B16, then Around TER88-90.

B 16, is around 70 to 75, or 75 t0 80?

B16 = 76 to 80.

To get TER90++, you need two A17, 3B16. Around that.

Officially, 161 out of 200 (which is 80.5%) and above is only considered as 17A.
However, according to past year results, the cut-off scores for 17A are usually around 155 only.
As the performance of the candidates each year varies, TER can't be very accurately predicted based on yr scores.
Just a reference, in past few years' time:

17A, 17A, 16B, 16B, 16B= TER 92.30
18A, 17A, 16B, 15B, 15B= TER 90.75
18A, 17A, 15B, 15B, 14B= TER 89.05

famous, not so sure but unimelb has better ranking and unsw is pretty popular too but more pricey, take ur pick.

Which area is more lively and interesting, university of melbourne or UNSW?

It depends... Im currently studying in UNSW and Im getting bored of it, Sydney isnt that much fun either anymore. I am going to visit Melbourne in the next few weeks to check out the city, interested in one of the unis there.
