Tax vs. Lease

SteveN2 · 09-17-2007, 11:53 AM

A question for you to 'native' Australians (or at least those that know the tax code better than us 'transplants'):

The 'lux car tax seems to kick in past $58K. Are there any creative ways around this with a lease/hire?

Cheers,

there really isnt, other than plain forgery. If you do a novated lease you will save the GST cost though. Thats a pretty decent savings

there isn't any ways around paying taxes on things here, unless you are part of an "organisation" that the police report to, lol

the government has eliminated every possible legal way of tax evasion
