Usualy when you get audited by the ATO in situations like that your
Accountant is present, and this would be the case for me :-)
Fortunately I have always been scrupulous with my Tax as I dont see it as
an
un-nessisary burden and am only to happy to pay my fair share. I dont make
dodgy claims for anything and I have recepits and correct do***entation
for
everything I do claim. Most of my friends think I'm strange when I say I
can't wait for the day I'm paying $300,000 in tax a year !!

No conflict, its not my ATO mate is actualy doing my taxes, though having
him there ensures a quick, unofficial audit, and because he is such a
straight shooter I already know that if we do ever get audited, he will
not
have anything at all to do with it, and thats as it should be.
