For LT hour it is 500 for cash but 550 using the card.
It is illegal, but at the end of the day, who the fuck is gonna police it.Really, is that true? $50 extra to use a card?
I believed it illegal to do that and shops could only increase slightly to recoup their cost of that option.
Don't know the ins and outs (of that bit of the business) but perhaps easy shop ways around it, say 550 is full price and get a discount for cash, or call the extra a booking fee or whatever.
But wont affect me as will never revisit.
APRA does but only after being alerted to it.It is illegal, but at the end of the day, who the fuck is gonna police it.
well then.... who wants to report them?APRA does but only after being alerted to it.

Prefer cash...easier to hide from the tax manSo why can't they say 550 is card price, and you get a 50 cash discount.
The tax man doesn't care what you spend money on. They're interested in the money that's coming IN.Prefer cash...easier to hide from the tax man
Yep...l tried at Hanny's but they couldn't or wouldn't make the machine take itProblem is that private ladies tend not to accept credit cards. Also, for some reason not all eftpos machines work with them (I'm looking at you South Sun!!!) and when they do, you often get slugged with a surcharge. Could be handy for paying for an STI test through one of the online services.

Yeah, but when the place is paid in cash the Tax Man never sees any of it. It is not a question of what money is spent on, it is a question of declaration of said income. If you pay by card the place sort of has to declare the income, and pay GST, hence the 10% extra than the cash price.The tax man doesn't care what you spend money on.

Not true.they can charge whatever fee they want to as long as its disclosed before the point of sale
i mean i think its technically worded as "reasonable surcharge" but realistically as long as you know before you're charged, then you have a choice and its legal
Well, it's not completely inaccurate. My friend's other half might raise eyebrows thoughA few years ago I had to use my card .on the statement it was . Mt Isa mechanical services. ?? Go figure. Got a lube and oil change. For $150.
A number of shops charge the 10% for cards, it's called GST. Long live the cash world.Hanys have a 10% surcharge for card use even for Eftpos, hate to see the cost of using a Credit Card.
I get the use of cash and the current work around's to obtain cash whilst shopping etc, just the writing is more and more on the wall that cash is slowing disappearing where everything will be done electronically for so many reasons.
When it does go all electronic hopefully these places can't continue to charge their high surcharge fees
Government doesn't charge tax for prostitutesA number of shops charge the 10% for cards, it's called GST. Long live the cash world.
If a business is registered to charge GST as it earns more than $75K, then it doesn't matter if you use your card or pay in cash as the GST amount shall be included in the total amount, then kept by the shop owner and then handed over when the BAS statement is lodged.A number of shops charge the 10% for cards, it's called GST.

Haha you sure about that?Government doesn't charge tax for prostitutes
Also, as an ING customer, you can use any ATM who charge you 2.50 or 3 bucks, you get it credited back from ING.Thankfully though ANZ Customers still get free transactions using the ATMx machines.
As with a number of shops there is a cash price and a card price. As a client of Hanys l am sure you have seen the prices on the book stating cash price.If a business is registered to charge GST as it earns more than $75K, then it doesn't matter if you use your card or pay in cash as the GST amount shall be included in the total amount, then kept by the shop owner and then handed over when the BAS statement is lodged.
If one when to the shops and I was given two options of the total amount, ie one price with the GST amount and a cheaper one if I used cash, we all would be using cash.
Haha you sure about that?
I am sure that when the W/L gets cash for her services, i'll bet she isn't declaring that cash as earnings.
I was talking about the regular shops like IGA, Bunnings etc not AMP or the like.As with a number of shops there is a cash price and a card price. As a client of Hanys l am sure you have seen the prices on the book stating cash price.
