What is the real need for Individual Artists to have an ABN. I think I get the basics of it all, but the details are still a bit blurry round the edges.

GST is TOO confusing.

sheesh! just tell me if i'm beginning to sound like a cracked record on all this tax stuff... all this tax stuff... all this tax stuff...

Did anyone else spot the comments, reprinted in The West May 18, on the tax legislation due to be debated soon in Federal Parliament?

"If passed, anyone who works a day job to support his or her life as a practicing artist - and earns less than $20,000 a year from that art or fails to make a profit from it - will no longer be able to claim a tax deduction for materials used to support that vocation."

So, does anyone know a west australian actor that will actually be able to claim any tax deductions under this legislation?

Cheers
