Graham has been the Principal Owner of Concord Tax Kirwan since 2005 but actually originally joined the Concord Tax Family back in 1989 in Charters Towers. Graham loves working in a small office and being able to give his staff a little more freedom to be flexible around work, he has also enjoyed moving forward with the times of technology in Accounting from where it was when he first started w...ith everything done by hand to now all online. Grahams favourite thing about working with clients is not just doing the best he can for his biggest client but also his littlest client as well. He enjoys a good challenge where he can give the client an opportunity to think outside the box and suggest something that can help them to get to where they want to go and to do a little better financially. Some fun facts you may not know about Graham: Favourite colour is blue In his spare time he enjoys playing his folk guitar and playing with his grandkids He became an accountant becausein the old days boys took science and girls took business and he thought he wouldnt mind doing business, especially because there were 18 girls in the class and only 2 boys! () So he went on to study a Commercial Business Course in Grade 9 and from there found he actually enjoyed it and decided he wanted to become a businessman! Seriously! What an inspiration! Finally, one of Grahams favourite things about working at Concord Tax is that he feels blessed to have been to meet and work with some wonderful people over the years.

09.01.2022 Do you know your tax myths from tax facts? Test your working-from-home knowledge below as we set the record straight. Myth: If I use the shortcut method, I ...can claim 80 cents per work hour plus other equipment (that costs $300 or less) to use when working from home. Fact: Under the shortcut method you can only claim 80 cents per work hour. This method covers all deductible expenses, including office furniture and technology. You cant claim any other working from home expenses on top. Myth: I can claim everything I bought to work from home (new laptop, desk, toilet paper, tea or coffee and my kids education supplies). Fact: There are three methods you can use to calculate your working from home expenses. You can choose the method that will give you the best outcome but you must meet the eligibility and record keeping requirements. You cannot claim items such as toilet paper, tea, coffee or your kids education costs, these are private expenses. Myth: I cant claim my working from home running expenses, even though I share the costs with my housemate because the bills arent in my name. Fact: Under the shortcut method multiple eligible taxpayers working from the same home can each claim 80 cents per work hour, even if the utility bill isnt in your name.
