The Federal Court has held that a student taxpayer who received Youth Allowance was entitled to a deduction for the expenses she incurred in pursuing a teaching degree, as she incurred them in the gaining or producing of her assessable income (being the Youth Allowance).
Court rules you can claim tax deductions against Youth Allowance
The Court basically held that, in order for the taxpayer to receive the Youth Allowance, she had to satisfy the requirements set out in the Social Security Act 1991 (i.e., generally to undertake full-time study throughout the relevant period), which required her to spend money (on such things as student administration fees and text books), so those outgoings were incurred in gaining or producing her assessable income.
Cashflow Manager is a simple book keeping application for small and home based business owners.
Simply record your receipts & payments transactions in columns. Users don’t need to know anything about accounting and everything is right there on the screen for you to review. Each column has a ‘GST’ type that automatically calculates the GST & makes your BAS Statement a breeze.
It’s inexpensive and doesn’t require hours upon hours of intensive and expensive on-site training.
The program is so simple that it comes with a full, no questions asked 90 day money back guarantee so there is no risk in giving it a try.
