22.01.2022 Current Federal ALP Leader Anthony Albanese says the partys policy to scrap franking credit refunds on share dividends definitely will itself be scrapped in its 2019 form before the next federal election.

21.01.2022 A live chat via the ATO website was relied on by a taxpayer. The AAT decision found that he was not entitled to rely on the advice obtained.

20.01.2022 I always wonder why people execute documents when there will be stamp duty payable without first obtaining advice. The recent case of Bloore v Chief Commissioner of State Revenue [2020] NSWSC 502 is an example where no advice was obtained (at least based on the judgment). #tax The link to the case is below: http://classic.austlii.edu.au//ca/nsw/NSWSC/2020/502.html
