Not personal advice
The book is general information. Every chapter says it. Take the numbers to a TPB-registered tax agent before you act on them.
$15 because
It's a coffee and a croissant from Lune. The book costs the same as one over-priced breakfast in Melbourne. If it saves you $10,624 on a single-invoice ute, we're square.
