Taxes, Taxes, and More Taxes from Around the Globe

Published: 27 July 2010 08:22PM by Mark

Mate, if you thought lodging a tax return here in Oz is complicated, wait till you get a load of what it’s like abroad.

In the United States for example, those interested in getting a sex change operation might now be able to claim a deduction for it – no kidding.

Sample Image A civil engineer from Boston and father of three kids who now calls himself Rhiannon had his operation tax-deductible by suing the IRS.

The court found he had a gender identity disorder, leading them to rule in Rhiannon’s favor. Amazing what lawyers can do eh?

If that’s not odd enough for you, a filmmaker in Sweden received over $80,000 in taxpayers’ money for his collection of 12 pornographic flicks. As you might’ve guessed, that caused a lot of controversy in the country for the “dirty” way he received his tax back.

Speaking of dirty, it seems that New Mexico wants to charge you extra if you want to look clean and presentable. Aside from closing down almost half of their highway toilet facilities as a way of saving revenue, the local government is raising the sales tax for grooming and hygiene products.

Compared to these countries, Australia is quite frankly, a bit boring. The most exciting incident I can think of that happened recently was when the Prime Minister had a minor flub on  national TV after he said that the amount Aussies could earn before paying taxes was around $12,000 to $15,000. – it’s actually $6000.

All that aside, the ATO is fairly efficient in processing claims for tax returns. They’re major sticklers for the rules though, but other than that, you shouldn’t have any trouble with them.

The streams which thereby clear themselves in to a few of these fens, water heater reviews and tankless gas water heater which thereby haul off the water, are the Cam or possibly Grant, the Brilliant Ouse and Little Ouse, the Nene, the Welland, and the stream which walks from Bury to Milden Hall.
