Sorry for the Murdoch rag, but I thought we could do with a trashy article to lighten things up a bit. Anyone else claimed depreciation on a boob job or the family pet?

    We had a meeting with our new accountants recently and she was saying that she had a client who was a builder who tried to claim his new spa pool.

      Any idea how they tried to justify that? Like did they just think anything they built should be deductable, of was it more “I have a hard job and I need it to relax” type argument?

        They argued they used it for entertaining potential clients. (I know, right!)

          Oh yeah, of course. I always insist on hopping in the spa with any a new builder.🤣

          Haha. Might have had more success with trying to claim it was a demo model to show prospective clients.
