Keen to know if anyone has claimed and received the rebate? Did you get flagged for an audit?
Also thoughts on conspiracy theories about a 'sun tax'
Apparently some state in Australia is going to start charging those feeding into the grid. Not really a conspiracy it seems. Seems likely at least the Western Province might copy this at some point.Keen to know if anyone has claimed and received the rebate? Did you get flagged for an audit?

What is the conspiracy theory?
"The asset has to be brought into use for the purposes of the taxpayer's trade"I claimed this baby 2 years ago, had an assessment no audit submitted documents and reasoning and approved.
100% write off in one year - none of the tiny rebate nonsense. Solar system in short will now be paid off in 1.25 more years
Not everyone can claim this one its very very unique situations but dont forget about it.
Thank you SARS for my solar![]()

YOU NEED A TRADE NOT A COMPANY you can do this in your personal capacity but need to show you have a trade
I trade and mine crypto need power 24/7 etc and I built the argument around these trading activities.
