Description

This is a special cross-posted episode of The Australian Investors Podcast - it comes directly from The Australian Business Podcast, Owen's favourite new series on starting, buying, owning and scaling private businesses. About this episode Danil just had a baby (congrats!), Jordan just bought a Tesla, and Owen... also placed an order for a Tesla (even though he LOVES his banged-up old Subaru). Almost every person or business owns a vehicle for business and private use. And too many think a car is 100% tax deductible - which is not often the right answer. In this episode, Owen, Danil and Jordan explain: How to work out if your car is tax deductible Why does it make sense to buy a base model Tesla with ATO rules? (Check Luxury Car Tax) What does Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) means and how to calculate it How to calculate depreciation on your car using the logbook How to do a logbook and remind yourself How much can tradies claim on their car? Can office workers claim the cost of a car?
