I know I am, CarPC install, some sound deadening, new carpet, angel eyes, new amp.

Well it is that time of year when we all have a little extra money to play around with, so who else is doing some mods with their new found riches?

Its all going on my home audio system which is in another thread...

I think i should be getting around 900 or so, still waiting on group certificates from current job and last job. Plus i decided to finally sell my old car so hopefully ill get 500+ for her.

Major service is comin up for the magna, so tax back will pay for that (i only have to pay for parts tho :D) and rego will be due in september. Hopefully be left with 1000+ after everything else, so it will probably be spent on the magna, the missus and myself.

Savings Account. No Mods unfortunately. I like to have a bit of cash put aside incase something blows up, and with my recent modding Ive emptied my account, so time to replenish it again.

Ricbec

when you do your tax return can you claim things if you have lost the receipt or do you need it?

JEDI
25-07-2007, 01:31 PM
you caaan claim it , but if the tax dept. decides to audit you then you might be screwed.

There's a few things you don't need a receipt for, like work related expenses, as long as the total is under $300.
