the aussie cool/tool number plate thread

Nice, please have those bedrooms carpeted before I arrive.

 

upstairs has carpet.

 

Good man, ill take the master bedroom thankyou very much.

 

Perhaps because they have larger populations than any other state?

More people in market for (roughly) same number of plates = more demand?

 

most welcome to it ,I sleep in another one ,front rooms are to noisy with idiots in "Look at me look at me ' cars racing up and down "CUBS"

 

Cheers mate, you really are a top bloke. I dont care what everyone on Fchat says about you behind your back.

You're a TOP bloke!!

 

you can stay if you want.I'm about 10ks from the track.

 

Exactly.

 

Sounds good, can you drop me off at the front gates of the track everyday?

I dont walk more than 10m, let alone 10km.

 

No,I don't go near the joint,waste of money .

 

I bet you have many times in the past though.

 

went once for about an hour on a friday in a corp area,never again.

 

Nor do old classic cars. I listened to a very interesting interview with Stirling Moss on the radio (ABC) the other. He was saying the same thing that there were no taxes and at the same time you get to enjoy and use your investment while it continues to appreciate in value.

I didn't realise so many cars came to Oz at the end of the season and were left behind. He said they sold them and left them here to buy the newest version upon return to the UK for the next years season. Nowadays the cars left behind here are very valuable. He used the Maserati as an example.

 

what is he a tax expert now,

 

if the cars in a company name and his claim or depriciation of course there is capital gains tax.

 

Bib Stillwell always bought Brabham's car after a Tasman series.

 

No, I was just adding to 360C's comments. You've in fact answered your own comment, don't buy it in a company name.

No different to the question I asked about GST, if a race car was bought by a business you have to charge GST when selling it. If its privately owned there is no GST on sale as is the case with selling a private car.

 

Fairy nuff.

 

What about storage, registration, insurance and maintenance costs, plus duty when you buy the car (if you're going to register it)?

 

Have a look at that QLD heritage plates for sale site that is listed on AE. Seems to be a few nice numbers available at reasonable prices. Just don't expect a 10% p.a. Return

 

Nothing elitist about ol' trust fun Bob!

 

On sunday lets go back to melbourne via the ferry to Sorrento.
Take the jag.

 

We were talking about capital gains tax on investments using number plates as an example. There is none at this point as there is none with a privately owned car. I mentioned GST in relation to buy and sell of a race car not maintenance, insurance, duty etc. Also not sure about registration of a race car.

 

Cheers mate, the 10% return on the plates dont bother me.

As long as I make that 10% return minimum on my properties I will be happy.

Is that site the same as this one?
