MTS Accountants Pty Ltd

On behalf of MTS Accountants.

Morning.

My office for 4 days IPA National Congress.

35 years working at the same place doing the same job.

Wow .

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of professional conduct in Australia’s tax profession and will continue to take strong action in cases of serious misconduct. That’s why we’ve terminated the tax agent registration of Thomas Seymour, a former senior leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Australia, and banned him from reapplying for registration for 4 years. Our investigation uncovered he failed to act with integrity and failed to have adequate arrangements in place to manage conflicts of interest that arose in relation to activities undertaken by partners and employees within PwC’s Tax and Legal Services division.

Wondering if you can claim a deduction for food & drink you buy while working? We can explain.

You can't claim:
👎 a deduction for the cost of food, drink or snacks you eat or drink during your normal working hours. These are private expenses.

You can claim:
👍 ‘overtime’ meal expenses, but only if you buy and eat the meal while working overtime and receive an overtime meal allowance.

There’s a little spring in the air.

We have been busy at MBS! New office coming soon and we are excited!!
