RE; Valkie Vs ATO
When I had a mag wheel repair business an accounting firm at Caringbah did my tax details for me.
When I went on the run and at war against Comanchero MC I no longer had an income.
I applied for the dole on my 30th birthday and was rejected for having too much money.
I sold off assets for less than they were worth so I could change vehicles every 6 months and stay mobile/fuelled up.
After getting out of gaol and NSW permanently I took up fruit picking for an income due to its lack of responsibility and obligation.
I could move on without notice and be easily replaced. The work is somewhat sporadic.
I didn't bother doing a tax return for 20 years, but I paid tax and made no claims.
In 2016 a former friend reported me for not submitting tax returns (neither does he - on TPI pension).
ATO demanded I write to them or submit the returns, under threat of penalties.
I wrote an 11 foolscap page letter explaining in quite some detail my entire work history and the circumstances of my non compliance.
I dealt with 2 separate deputy commissioners of taxation in Albury. I told them if they fine me I'll declare bankruptcy.
They fined me $2000, so without another $3000 of debt I didn't qualify for bankruptcy.
I got a timber cutter in to value my trees with regards to selling them to pay the penalty.
Then thought better of it .. they would demand to know where the money came from and tax me on it.
So I started paying them $20 a fortnight (fuck 'em
)
ATO sent threatening letters, claiming they would refer the matter to a debt collection agency, and once they did I could no longer deal with the ATO.
I decided to test this claim by ignoring it and paying another $20. They didn't reject the payment.
More threatening letters and failed phone calls came demanding "Pay your debt".
I gave them another $20.
One day in Bundy I got a call from an ATO staff member in phuk knows where advising I "pay the debt".
I said "I don't have a debt, I don't owe the ATO a cent. Some little hitler deputy commissioner arbitarilly penalised me, and I'm paying it off when I can. You're demanding money that doesn't exist because I don't have it".
Then they sent another letter claiming I had a debt they were charging interest on.
So occasionally I give them $20, despite the fact they sold that so called debt to a debt collection agency for so many cents in the dollar.
When I become dictator
the tax commissioner will be a button pusher and all the other staff will be replaced by a robot.
I'd like to see them doing yoga on a ladder (citrus picking) getting ripped up by thorns in stinking hot weather.
I think they'd all apply for a DSP.
If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?
