The Money Puzzle Podcast: Sitting down with an accountant debunking tax myths

We sit down with an accountant to debunk some tax myths

Ever been to a BBQ where someone told you about a unique tax strategy and you're left wondering why your accountant never mentioned this before? It might be claiming a luxury car as a tax deduction or becoming a tax resident of a tax haven like Vanuatu to avoid paying income tax.

We sit down with an accountant to run through a range of "is this possible" scenarios from claiming travel costs on investment properties to determining whether you can claim pet food as a tax deduction for your dog if they can double as a guard dog. We get to the bottom of many interesting tax myths and either debunk them or confirm their legitimacy.

In this episode we cover:
Someone told me I could claim this on tax, can I?
End of financial year tax tips
How to pick an accountant that's right for you

Located on Sydney's Central Coast, accountant Timothy Ricardo joins Wealth contributor James Gerrard of FinancialAdvisor.com.au
