Pickles auction has a few cars listed out that way on their current auction, not sure if they are related or not.

The story on the one in Pearcedale I bet he was only accepting cash for his parts,with there quite a few back yard wreckers around, it's ok if some one is selling bits off their own wrecked cars, but then there are those that acquire cars and make a black market business out it. Never declaring any income to the tax dept, only accepting cash and no receipts. Best to avoid them

And what's wrong with that ?? Not a 'business' but I've parted out a couple of Land Rovers and sold parts to help cover the cost of my hobby......

I've also purchased parts from people with many vehicles on their property. If they have the part I need and the price is fair a deal is done (with no receipt).

Nothing wrong with that Colin, you missed the point I was making, the ones that have heaps of vehicles and are doing it as a business.

[gromit]

Not sure that I missed the point.....if they had what I wanted at what I thought was a fair price I would still buy from them rather than 'avoiding them'.

Even if the cars are stolen?

[whitey56]

We were in Fredricksberg Texas a few months ago and spotted these gems behind a building in the main street, the first car in the carport looks like a 59 Desoto with the big wings just like the one that cruised around Burpengary about 20 years ago, i haven't seen it recently.

Fair enough, the rest of us tax payers will cover their avoidance so the government has money for services.

If it's genuinely a hobby, taxes aren't due.

[trout1105]

I can't remember ever voting YES to a GST So if I can find something for Cash at a better price I will always buy it.

I would be happy if the said Govt. actually spent said money for services. When they stop borrowing from overseas so they can send money overseas you may have a point.

From the ATO
How do I know if it's a business or a hobby?

It's important to understand the differences between a hobby and a business for tax, insurance and legal purposes.
Key questions to consider:


Is the activity being undertaken for commercial reasons?
Is your main intention, purpose or prospect to make a profit?
Do you regularly and repeatedly undertake your activity?
Is your activity planned, organised and carried out in a businesslike manner?


If you have a lot of vehicles, and advertise that you are selling the parts and are making a profit not giving them away at your cost then I think you would be deemed not a hobbie.
The guy in post selling stuff from stolen cars would not be doing it for a hobbie.

?? politicians wages, government wastage etc . etc. If the Government spent the money wisely I might tend to agree with your comment.

Colin, I knew some one who's mum had quite a bit of money, she got done by the tax dept for not paying tax , she was real ****ty when it happened, she said she didn't mind paying tax except the govt wastes it. I don't think they accepted her excuse.

cheers, Mario
