Think about "seeding" a forum is quite a good play on words.

Nevertheless, in the scheme of things, someone on welfare for maybe $15,000 year, whether legit or not, is demonized yet a tradie doing cash jobs for $30,000 is seen as 'inventive'. And someone getting their taxes adjusted for more income is seen as clever. Though legal, it still doesn't make it moral. It's just the double standards and the demonising I don't like."tradie doing cash jobs for $30,000 is seen as 'inventive'."
Who said that ?
OK Alex, are you saying that you or any of your family don't claim things on your tax to minimise tax, maximise income ?
No one in your whole family has a car used for work, salary sacrifice, negatively geared house ? Nothing ????
Adjusting your tax for more income is legal AND MORAL. A person can only go by the rules and laws in place,
they can't change the laws and rules but they can use them to their advantage.
Why not ?
I would be interesting to know your answers and why you don't think it is MORAL.
I didn't accuse anyone else of saying that, I said it. Keep up Vic.
And to answer your question, no I have never minimalised my tax. I'm not going to disclose any personal information on here but I have always and always will, only claim that which I am entitled to and I won't fudge them.
I realise my comments may not have been clear. I am not talking about the average tax payer or small business owner. I am talking about the larger companies and individuals who, if you remember, like Kerry Packer, boast of their tax minimizing. I do have a family member who duds the ATO of probably $30,000 or so a year from doing cash jobs. What I have tried to explain to him, and what he won't accept, is that normal PAYE earners have no choice but to pay their alloted tax and their tax rate is high to make up for the amount people like him dodge who don't pay their fair share. That is the reality. If it were a fair and equitable system all round and people in all tax brackets and tax situations could take advantage of minimisations then I wouldn't have a problem, but it is only available to a few and that is where I find it morally wrong.

Seed is a very good word. The BS Fertiliser is applied by those who "parrot stuff"
because they have a "bird brain" (in more ways than one)

I think it's a pointless thing to do though... most people have their minds made up on how they see things and won't change their minds because someone is 'seeding' a fourm
