And this is what the government doesn't want you to know is because they're not actually giving you proper tax cuts, no matter who you are, you're actually just paying more and more and more tax because the price of mainland cheese has gone up like a gazillion percent since 2008. I know because I eat it like a freak. Everything in our lives has got more expensive, but the government hasn't actually given us tax breaks. Welcome to the Australian Finance Podcast by Rask.

Welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast, where we're going to be talking about Div 293. What the heck is that? Why does it matter? It matters to some people. We're going to talk about tax rates. We are talking about property. Someone's going to try and do an upgrade and they're thinking, what does the budget mean? If I've got my first home, should I not sell it and then do something else? We've also got people here who are buying their first home and they say that they're both 25.
Do they buy it together or separately because of the schemes and the rules and such? And finally, a bit of tax reporting there. Now, let's start off somewhere probably more casual than that, Gem. How do you pronounce my T-shirt?
Oh, it depends. I'd say faux.
Faux. Yeah, okay. So it's not faux. What the faux is the t-shirt that I've got on today? Now it's probably tax deductible, so I can add that to my tracker. Not really. But yeah, I am wearing a bit of a fun t-shirt today.
How would you say it?
Well, I'd say pho because I'm too scared to say pho, which is what all the fancy people from like northern suburbs of Melbourne or like people that have some inclination of Vietnamese culture might say, pho, whereas other people might say pho. Poe. Poe. Yeah. Anyway, today we're talking about a few different things. And normally we just do a quick catch up on our weeks and how those have been. It's been a while since I've seen you. So it's really good to see you in person. You've been pretty busy lately. I don't know if I'm allowed to say what you've been working on. What have you been up to?
Um, no, I've been really busy. Uh, good to be in the actual studio here this week. Uh, we have wrapped up the series with Christian Hull, which I recorded just before this and I still kind of have the giggles. It was such a funny episode that I am still laughing about. So that was, yeah, that'll be going out around the same time this podcast will. So that was really fun. And yeah, just lots of stuff, lots of stuff happening.
Yeah. We've been doing some interviews here at RASC. And interestingly, one time Gemma went on a date here in Melbourne. You went to a place that was like really fancy, right? Well, it turns out one of the staff members that are there is applied for the job. She was like, I wonder if I saw Gemma come through. I was like, oh, I don't know, maybe. But there is a very fancy restaurant here. There are many fancy ones. And how much is too much to spend on a first date?
So that was an $800 dinner, which is ridiculous for a first date. I did not pay for it. And I did not even offer. So my go-to is always Let's Go Halves. And I was like, absolutely not. Obviously, you've picked this because you can afford it. Everybody knew him there. So it wasn't the first date he had taken there.
What is Div 293 tax and why does it matter for high-income earners?
It was very show pony-ish. And I was like, I'm definitely not offering to pay half of this. It was ridiculous. But it was very nice. But thanks for the steak. Yeah, and now I tell everybody about it.
Yeah, you be warned if you're going to take Gemma to a very fancy joint.
