OCTOBER 2017 Welcome!
Here is a joke for you. What is the definition of "accountant"? Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had, in a way you don't understand. HAHAHAHA! Lucky for you, we at Maxwell & Cameron Accountants take pride in making sure our clients understand the information we are providing to them.
WORK RELATED CAR EXPENSES (AND OTHER) CLAIMS! As usual, the tax office have a couple of common tax deduction claims on their radar. They have indicated that they are paying special attention to work related deductions and for a lot of taxpayers, this includes claiming some car expenses for work related travel. IT'S A BOY! Congratulations to Angela and her partner Nick on the birth of their second child, Jack.
PASSING ON EFTPOS SURCHARGES Anyone in business will know the charges imposed by banks on money received by EFTPOS, credit and debit cards can be quite high. Many businesses now add a surcharge for customers paying using these methods, however this practice has recently come under scrutiny by the ACCC.
