Default 50% tax rebate on new cars

I might go for this. I was thinking of a novated lease but this might be a better option and a lot less hassle.

There are some sweet deals out there at the moment. Volkswagen are offering 3 years free servicing - Golf mk6 is out and the 125kW diesel Passat looks good. I also like the look of the Mazda6 diesel - 136kW from 2.2l, and you can push them on price. With the tax year end almost upon us, it's a buyers market.

Anyone else?

Sure, a sole trader with an ABN qualifies. Easy peasy to arrange.

The car has to be bought by a business (ABN will do) and by 31st December 2009. 50% of the purchase price is tax deductible. So:

Cost: $40k
50% of: $20k
Tax deduction at say 40%: $8k

Tax deduction is claimed on your tax return.

It's all explained here:

Yeah, having to go staff is one of my biggest nightmares!

Being permanent is an excuse for them to pay you less, and in reality you have little or no extra job security anyway.
