Hi barb, you've been very open about your problems with getting paid for Blood Moon, did you ever get your tax office issues resolved? I love Blood Moon and want you to get your $$$$!!! You deserve it for bringing us Marco and Vicky and Roe and Sergi and werewolves.

Not yet. This has been the process so far:

1. Apply for Certificae of Residency in March.

2. Gets rejected 2 weeks later with no explanation.

3. After a long phone conversation they said it was because my address was incorrect (I was in insecure housing for most of 2022 so I've had a lot of addresses). I fix up my address and reapply.

4. No reply. Phone up to make a complaint after 5 weeks waiting.

5. Rejected again the day after complaint with no explanation.

6. Another phone call. They said I'm not a resident of Australia because I was locked out of the country during the pandemic. I tell them I returned in May 2022 and have been paying taxes to them since then, which they tell me they know but I still have to tell them I'm a resident.

7. I tell them I'm a resident and reapply.

8. No response.

9. On advice from a friend I legally register myself as a business and then I apply via online portal (non businesses have to apply by mail).

10. The phone me the next day (instead of me phoning them five weeks later so that was good I guess) and tell me I'm still not a resident? I tell them I told them several times and quote the process on their own website to them. They say they'll sort the issue and get back to me.

11. Another month passes with no contact.

12. Fill in tax return for new financial year, make sure I mark myself as a resident on it, and then reapply for a new certificate for the new financial year (I did this yesterday).

13. ?????

It's been over 150 days now. It shouldn't be this hard to not commit tax crimes. But Australia is a very corrupt and mismanaged country.

And someone like me who was locked out for over a year, who moves around a lot, who makes money in weird ways... I honestly just think they don't want to deal with me so I keep getting passed off to the next person.

Until I get the certificate of residency, I can't get paid for my overseas income. It sucks, but I'm hoping it will be sorted soon.

Here’s my submission to the Robodebt Royal Commission, might delete later, not bc I’m scared of any hoes doxxin me, but bc I can’t be having anyone think I got emotions:

Let me tell you the sordid tale of how the Robodebt Scheme destroyed a first class legal honours graduate who, once upon a time, had a bright future ahead of her. I remember very well the day on which I received that fateful email 'You have a new message in your MyGov inbox'. It was the day after my graduation ceremony. I'd spent several years studying a science/law dual degree while working casually. I'd achieved exemplary grades and had several offers for graduate programs at a variety of prestigious companies. Not bad for a country gal who was the first in her family to attend university. My parents travelled into the big smoke to see me graduate. When they returned home it was to a pile of threatening letters from Services Australia, all of them addressed to me. 

At this point I still had faith in the Australian legal system. Clearly there had been a mistake. I wasn't some no-good dole bludger trying to cheat the system. I was a recently graduated professional who had simply spent her free time in itinerant employment, so as not to be so much of a burden on the tax-payer while I studied. It was obvious to me at this point, in 2019, that Centrelink was averaging out data from my annual pay summary to come to a figure that would obviously be at odds with the fortnightly income reports I'd made. Nonetheless, I complied with the threatening letters and sent in the payslips and bank statements that I could get a hold of. This was a monumental feat in and of itself, since Centrelink had allowed several years of debt to accrue before saying anything to me about it. Some of my previous employers didn't exist anymore. Some of my previous banks simply didn't keep records that long. At the time Centrelink itself recommended that I keep payslips for only six months. Nonetheless I handed over the information I could find. I also spent several days working through a long and complicated online form checking and confirming the several years worth of fortnightly reports I'd made against my patchwork of payslips. This information was all promptly lost by Centrelink and I was sent a notice that I owed $17500. 

I had to turn down all my fantastic offers for employment at this time, since a government debt will prevent you from being admitted as a lawyer. Meanwhile I had to start paying back this 'debt' despite not one of the dozens of Centrelink workers I spoke with being able to substantiate it in any way. I continued to receive threatening letters, which I began to take more seriously. As a law graduate I was all too aware of Centrelink's near undefeated prosecutions record against so-called 'welfare cheats'. I started doing my own research and found many of these cases were just like my own, where the 'offender' had tried to do the right thing and had ended up punished regardless. The more I dug the more this all seemed like a joke, like a parody of a legal system. Nothing about Centrelink's conduct so far had been, in my humble opinion, reasonable. In fact, if they had been private debt collectors a lot of their behaviour and actions would have been flagrantly against debt collection laws. 

Out of fear of this unreasonable and formidable foe bearing down upon me I cancelled my Centrelink payments, not wanting to give Centrelink any further reason to foist a debt, or worse, on me. I kept my head down, I didn't formally dispute my debt and I just kept up with my repayments. I absolutely did not want to poke the sleeping dragon in the eye, so to speak. Without income from either work or welfare I lasted about two months on my savings before becoming homeless. 

As they say, when it rains, it pours, and I was beset by dental issues and cancer at this time. These medical issues were probably either caused or exacerbated by my homelessness. I had to take out a large loan to pay for surgeries and treatment. I recovered from these surgeries while living in an unreliable old car which leaked onto my pillow every time it rained. I hardly ever showered, I peed in a bucket, ate nothing but rice and continued to pay my Centrelink debt. Out of desperation I reapplied for Centrelink, figuring that at least if I wound up in jail I'd be assured a meal, a shower and a bed. Absolutely defeated at this point, I came to accept my lot in life would probably always be abject poverty. 

And then the Robodebt Scheme was blown open by The Guardian's coverage and the heroic efforts of Gordon Legal. Emboldened to know I was not alone I started asking questions again. I started calling Centrelink every week (when I had the time to wait on hold for a few hours) and I submitted FOI requests every month. As the class action drew on my FOI requests became increasingly redacted but at least one thing hadn't changed; the only answer I could get out of a Centrelink worker was 'I dunno'. I submitted my payslips over and over again. Via email, via the online form, I even took my hardcopy payslips (soggy from my leaking car roof) into the Centrelink office. Again and again they were 'lost' and subsequent calls to Centrelink would reveal they 'had no record of me making such a submission to them'. 

It was bittersweet to see the class action proceedings unfold and be classed as a Category 3. Seemed as though Centrelink were only too happy to suddenly acknowledge their receipt of my documentation when it suited them. I use the word 'documentation' lightly though, since subsequent FOI requests reveal they don't actually have copies of my payslips or bank statements, only the fact that I provided them. So I'm still not sure what they're going off to substantiate my 'debt'. In any case, the only difference between myself and the relinquished Cat 1s & 2s was that I'd complied with Centrelink's requests for documentation and the Cat 1s & 2s had not. I don't really view myself as anymore deserving of this 'debt' than someone who simply ignored Centrelink's correspondence. I received a further kick while I was down when everyone who was being investigated post-2020 was let off too. My debt was raised in 2019. 

And so, here we are, at the present day. I'm still homeless. I still have cancer. I still rely on welfare. What was the point of Centrelink paying me to study several years for a legal career, to just snatch it away from me? Ironically, if I were allowed to use the qualifications I studied so long for I would have no trouble paying this 'debt'. Alas, the five year time limit I'm under to be admitted as a lawyer after graduating is fast approaching. My immediate future is not particularly bright. I already use most of my welfare on repaying medical debts. I am already on several financial hardship arrangements however, upon the resumption of Centrelink's 'debt' collection next month (precisely on my 30th birthday no less), I will no longer be able to afford to pay my bills on time. During the imminent bankruptcy proceedings that will follow I'll likely lose the car that I sleep in (I'll probably get to keep my Centrelink debt though). But hey, it might not even get that far, since I have a few packets of sleeping pills waiting for me when Centrelink decides to put the final nail in my coffin. I'm sure they'll give just as much of a damn about my death as they do about the thousands of other deaths they've caused. Which is no damn at all. Just to be concise. 

In conclusion, I have no expectation that my submission here will mean much at all. I don't expect that my 'debt' will be waived. I don't expect to get my career and my life back. I don't expect to afford healthcare or food or rent anytime soon. I don't expect a mote of human decency. This has mostly just been an outlet for me to tell the story I've spent several years enduring public vitriol and government contempt over. So if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading. In another life I might have one day sat where you do now Catherine. That was the dream; to do what you do. And that's the saddest part, you know? I have so much anger for what the government has done to me, how my hopes have been raised so many times, and then everyone but me gets their just desserts. But the anger is better than the sadness of thinking about what could have been. I was so good at law. Initially, I had only taken it because it had come with my science degree, but I ended up absolutely adoring the subject. Even Constitutional Law and Torts! I don't think anything has really interested me so much since. I don't like to dream too much, because I feel like if the universe gets a whiff of it I'll get knocked down another peg, but wouldn't it be great if my debt was waived, I could get admitted as a lawyer and just have a normal life again? Yeah, that's the dream.

Sole Trader Tax Return: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Sole Trader Tax Returns in Australia

As a sole trader in Australia, managing your tax obligations is crucial to ensure your business remains compliant and financially healthy. Sole traders, unlike corporations, are individually responsible for their tax affairs. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about sole trader tax returns, from understanding the basics to filing your taxes accurately and efficiently.

What is a Sole Trader?

A sole trader is an individual who owns and operates their own business. This is the simplest business structure in Australia, offering complete control to the owner. However, it also means that the owner is personally liable for all aspects of the business, including tax obligations.

Tax Obligations for Sole Traders

Individual Tax Returns in Australia

As a sole trader, you must report your business income as part of your individual tax return in Australia. This means that your business income is taxed at the same rate as your personal income. Here are some key points to consider:

Income Reporting: All income generated by your business must be reported.

Deductions: You can claim deductions for expenses incurred in running your business.

Tax Rates: Sole traders are taxed at individual income tax rates.

Importance of Accurate Income Tax Preparation Services

Accurate income tax preparation is essential for sole traders to avoid penalties and ensure they are not overpaying or underpaying their taxes. Professional income tax preparation services can provide invaluable assistance, ensuring all deductions are claimed, and all income is reported correctly.

Steps to Prepare Your Sole Trader Tax Return

1. Gather Your Financial Records

The first step in preparing your sole trader tax return is gathering all your financial records. This includes:

Income Statements: Invoices, sales receipts, and any other documentation of income.

Expense Receipts: Receipts for business-related expenses, including utilities, office supplies, and travel.

Bank Statements: Records of all transactions related to your business.

2. Separate Personal and Business Finances

Keeping your personal and business finances separate is crucial for accurate tax reporting. This means having a separate business bank account and maintaining detailed records of all business transactions.

3. Understand Your Deductions

One of the benefits of being a sole trader is the ability to claim deductions for business expenses. Common deductions include:

Home Office Expenses: If you work from home, you can claim a portion of your household expenses.

Vehicle Expenses: If you use your vehicle for business purposes, you can claim related expenses.

Travel Expenses: Costs incurred for business travel, including accommodation and meals.

Office Supplies: Expenses for office supplies and equipment.

4. Calculate Your Income

To determine your taxable income, subtract your total deductions from your total income. This will give you the amount you need to report on your tax return.

5. Lodge Your Tax Return

You can lodge your tax return online through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) website or use the services of a registered tax agent. Lodging your tax return accurately and on time is essential to avoid penalties.

Benefits of Income Tax Filing Assistance

Professional Expertise

Using income tax filing assistance services provides access to professional expertise. Tax professionals are well-versed in the latest tax laws and regulations, ensuring your tax return is accurate and compliant.

Maximizing Deductions

Tax professionals can help identify all possible deductions, ensuring you maximize your tax savings. They can provide advice on legitimate deductions that you might overlook if filing on your own.

Time Savings

Preparing and filing a tax return can be time-consuming, especially for sole traders with complex financial situations. Professional assistance can save you time, allowing you to focus on running your business.

Avoiding Penalties

Errors in your tax return can result in penalties and interest charges. Professional income tax preparation services help minimize the risk of errors, ensuring your tax return is filed correctly.

Common Challenges for Sole Traders

Record Keeping

Maintaining accurate and detailed financial records is essential for sole traders. However, this can be challenging without proper systems in place. Investing in accounting software or hiring a bookkeeper can help streamline this process.

Understanding Tax Laws

Tax laws and regulations are constantly changing, making it difficult for sole traders to stay up-to-date. Seeking professional advice can help ensure compliance and take advantage of any new tax benefits.

Managing Cash Flow

Effective cash flow management is crucial for meeting tax obligations. Sole traders must plan for tax payments throughout the year to avoid financial strain when taxes are due.

Tips for a Smooth Tax Season

Stay Organized

Queer pop fans reveal their top 10 songs of 2024 so far

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/queer-pop-fans-reveal-their-top-10-songs-of-2024-so-far/

Queer pop fans reveal their top 10 songs of 2024 so far

The team at Popchops has revealed which songs queer listeners are loving at the halfway point of 2024. 

For the more fiscally minded, the start of July will mean sorting out their tax returns. 

However, for the more poptastic among us, it’s time to get very different paperwork in order: our favourite tracks of the year so far. 

Music lovers in the LGBTQIA+ community need more than one end-of-year Spotify Wrapped, they need pop queens ranked, and they need it now. 

Lucky for us, the team at Popchops has been able to collate the most listened to songs from queer pop lovers so far. 

Popchops is a DJ team that puts on parties across Australia with a very lively online community of almost 2,000 members. 

This group is predominantly queer and each month Popchops’ own Brad Elias put together a monthly chart of their most loved tracks.

He explains that he started to chart to better represent what the community was listening to. 

“I feel like the ARIA charts don’t accurately reflect the engaged pop music community who often do appreciate our Australian artists or the celebrated artists of pop music like Charli XCX, Kylie and Carly Rae Jepsen who no longer feel the same amount of love with the rise of Spotify,” he said. 

The Top 10

To mark the halfway point of 2024, Brad collated the list of the top 10 most loved tracks by members of Popchops exclusively for QNews. 

10. Taylor Swift ft Post Malone – Fortnight

Despite dominating the world with her Eras tour and the charts with her new album, Taylor didn’t quite have the same impact with Popchops listeners.

The song did go no.1 in Australia and the inclusion of Post Malone ensures there’s a token male artist in the list. 

9. Charli XCX – 360

It’s quite telling that a song that only reached no.66 on the ARIA charts is so high among listeners of Popchops.

Quite clearly, her queer fans will support her as much as she supports them. 

8. Beyonce – Texas Hold ‘Em

If you’ve opened Instagram at any point in 2024 you no doubt heard this song. Beyonce went country with this lead single and reached no.2 in Australia.

7. Dua Lipa – Illusion

Although it still charted well at no.21 in Australia, this is more notable for the music video.

Filmed at a famous Barcelona pool, it was the same location as Kylie’s clip for Slow and certainly took some inspiration from our pop princess. 

6. Charli XCX – Von Dutch

There are a few things certain in life: death, taxes, and “the gays” loving Charli XCX.The longtime ally has always acknowledged this love, famously saying “Generally, the queer community just has, like, better taste.”

The song reached no.15 on the Australian Dance Chart.

5. Sabrina Carpenter – Espresso

One of the biggest songs of the year was always going to appear on this list.

The track has been a global hit and reached no.1 in many countries including Australia. 

4. Ariana Grande – we can’t be friends (wait for your love)

The second single from her album Eternal Sunshine was another commercial success.

Reaching no.2 in Australia, the song will remind many of Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend and Dancing on My Own. 

3. Dua Lipa – Houdini

Despite being released at the end of 2023, Popchops listeners are still listening to this in droves more than six months later.

It was a worldwide hit and reached no.7 on the ARIA charts. 

2. Dua Lipa – Training Season

The British singer’s second single from her album Radical Optimism is a move away from her previous disco sound.

With ABBA influences, it reached no.12 on the Aussie charts.

1. Ariana Grande – yes, and?

The lead single from Ariana’s seventh album is the most popular song of the year so far with Popchops listeners.

The Max Martin-produced track has been likened to Madonna’s groundbreaking track Vogue. It reached no.2 on Australia’s ARIA charts. 

Who just missed out?

The highest Australian on the list was Delta Goodrem who just missed the cut in 11th place. with Hearts on the Run. 

Queer artist and rising star Chappell Roan finished 13th with Good Luck, Babe! 

While our very own artists Sia and Kylie Minogue came in at no.18 with their single Dance Alone.

How to Invest in Property in Easy Ways | 2024

What characteristics make for an ideal real estate investment? An ideal real estate investment must have an increased chance of success or return on your investment, in conjunction with minimal risk. Even when selecting investments with high probabilities of success, success cannot be guaranteed; thus it would not be wise on how to invest in property or any other investments if it is impossible to afford any potential losses.

Though a traditional mortgage requires 20% to 25% down payments, 5% deposits can sometimes suffice in buying entire properties. This flexibility gives investors confidence when flipping or renting properties out quickly; real estate flippers and landlords can use second mortgages on existing homes to provide down payments on additional properties. Below are five strategies investors can employ when investing in real estate.

Rental Properties

Owning rental properties is an attractive investing strategy for those with the skills and patience necessary to do their own renovation work and manage tenants effectively. They may be located nearby or even out-of-state opportunities may present themselves; this investing strategy requires substantial capital for upfront maintenance costs as well as covering periods when tenants don't pay their rent on time.

Real Estate Investment Groups

Incorporating REIGs requires both capital and access to financing options for investment.

REIGs (real estate investment groups) act like small mutual funds in that they invest in rental properties. 5 In a typical real estate investment group scenario, a company typically buys or builds multiple apartment blocks or condos before offering investors access through this same company to purchase them - thus becoming part of the group.

Individual investors may own one or multiple units of self-contained living space, while the company that runs their investment group manages them all collectively - handling maintenance tasks, advertising vacancies and interviewing tenants as needed; in exchange for this service, they receive a portion of monthly rent as payment for managing them all.

House Flipping

House flipping requires considerable expertise in real estate valuation, marketing and renovation. As with any investment strategy, house flipping requires capital as well as the means to perform or oversee repairs as necessary.

Real estate flipping can be considered the "wild side" of real estate investing. Just as day trading differs from buy-and-hold investing, real estate flippers differ significantly from landlords by selling undervalued properties quickly for profit within six months or so.

Property Strategist Melbourne typically do not invest in improving properties; thus, any investment must already have enough intrinsic value to turn a profit without needing modifications, otherwise they will rule it out of contention.

Real Estate Investment Trusts

REITs are formed when a corporation (or trust) uses investor money to buy and operate income properties, which they then sell on major exchanges like any stock.

REITs must distribute at least 90 percent of their taxable profits as dividends in order to remain eligible as REITs and avoid paying corporate income tax; by doing this, REITs avoid having to declare whether or not to distribute its post-tax profits as dividends.

REITs provide investors who prioritize regular income with an appealing investment option that may not be possible otherwise - such as malls or office buildings that would normally not be affordable to buy directly.

REITs are exchange-traded trusts, making them highly liquid investments that don't require Buyers Agents Australia or title transfers to cash out your investment. REITs serve as more formalized versions of real estate investment groups.

Online Real Estate Platforms

Real estate investment platforms allow those looking to join others in investing in larger commercial or residential deals to use crowdfunding - online real estate platforms which enable people to pool their investments together - to do so more efficiently than purchasing properties outright. While crowdfunding still requires capital, its requirements are typically lower.

Real estate crowdfunding platforms can bring together investors looking for investment opportunities with those seeking financial backing for new or current real estate projects, giving you the ability to diversify your investments with limited financial outlay.
