Anyone own a boat?

[Diane]

Apparently for anyone that owns a boat worth more than $25k, the insurance companies are sending information through to the tax office, where the tax officials will match up the cost of the boat with your tax return, and if it doesn't look like you are earning enough on paper to afford such a boat, they will be making serious enquiries as to how you managed it!

 

Don't you just love the nanny state?!!!

[tina&steve]

i say good on them for doing it. These tax dodgers should be tracked down!!!!

If you own such a luxury, and its legit, it wont be any bother to prove it!

As a non-boat owner myself, I'm with you 100% Tina!

 

Just hope they don't have a look at my eating out habits too closely, or I'll have to show them my daily-deal purchasing history as justification!!

Under certain circumstances they can actually be a tax deduction.

Don't be so quick to judge...............

 

Lots of not having luxuries can lead to bigger treats, I've eaten a lot of tins of beans in my time.

The have nots may just have not got clever............

I feel sure that the Tax man gets info from Boat seller companies re the price they sell a boat at.

As fer tyke, He has a huge boat with twin Methaine driven motors, he eats a LOT of beans :-)
