Disagree, That dealer sounds like they understand risk and are managing it appropriately, Selling something like a car you want to be sure of payment. Cash or bank cheque (provided not stolen) are guaranteed payment methods. Direct transfer into a bank account fairly safe as well. Credit...

There is no leeway, but the requirements are straightforward. For Italy, Australian passport holders require the passport is valid for a minimum of 3 months beyond the intended stay. For the United Kingdom, the requirement is simply valid for the period of stay. You will be fine BUT it is the...

In other words, you wanted a cheap option that was not available. It is not that it is impossible to use QF points to get an award to LAS, just that it was not available to you. Airlines (not LCC) that offer other than point to point and protect when the segments are all on one ticket will...

What does the PDS for your insurance policy say? If it only mentions "connections" but the reservations are on separate PNRs then it is not actually a connection, but simply two separate flights. If they are willing to cover more than this, then it would be unusual. What airlines consider...

I always laugh at these so called "valuations" because they are so subjective, and most of the higher values (those that the airlines would like to promote, and sites like points hacks that look to attract interest) do not apply to most people. The value of a point to any individual can be...

I think ebay iis out Selling Alcohol Policy unless you happen to have a liquor licence. Langtons is an option, but for so little quantity and not particularly expensive, unlikely to be practical. Gifting or drinking are the best options.

Looks seriously like an IT glitch to me. Something is mismatching sessions and applying updates from a different session that overwrites the FF number with one of someone who was also using the system. Could be a cache issue, misconfigured server, or one of a server pool out of alignment...

You are correct, but not understanding the technicalities. You are entitled to a receipt that states X has received Y dollars from Z. (and in this case, it is X acting as agent for W). This is indeed what you get. A Tax invoice is different from a receipt - it states what supply has been made...

The tax ruling is clear - the hotel must provide it if the OTA does not. Whether or not the OTA should is a different question, but only if the OTA has an ABN and is registered for GST (assuming the hotel is registered as well, but the requirement for an ABN stands). Where it is an offshore...

It would be really interesting to know what justification Expedia gave to Qantas to ask them to stop issuing tax invoices. The real irony in all of this is that Qantas would have been issuing the correct tax invoice - showing the amount of GST that should be being paid by the hotel. I have a...

What they receive and their GST liability are not necessarily the same, as in this case. It is the difference between cash and accrual accounting. What they are receiving is the net of a more than one theoretical transaction - and the components need to be teased out. The Tax Invoice needs to...

They are not seeing the whole picture then are they?

For a bit of light relief, the following is part of the booking,.com Supplier Code of Conduct

Well it certainly isn't Booking.com If you go to the booking.com How We Work buried in the very small links at the bottom you will find So booking.com is relying on being an Agent. It now gets really murky. Note that they work with "Service Providers" as well as hotels. If you search for...

Reading the attachment, "web beds" is causing GST to be avoided. If they are acting as an agent, then they don't have to be registered for GST - but they must disclose to the principal the full amount collected so that a correct invoice can be issued and the correct GST charged. If they are...

This is where the ATO would be interested as GST is being underpaid. The hotel needs to issue the invoice for the full amount you paid if booking.com is acting as an agent and not issuing a tax invoice. There are many Expedia entities. There is indeed an Expedia Inc ABN 25 138 063 573...

The only thing in all of this that the ATO would actually be interested in is the hotels issuing tax invoices for just what they were paid by Expedia, and stating that GST was only 1/11th of that amount, rather than 1/11th of the total including commission. If Expedia are actually acting...

I don't think it is a software or knowledge issue - it is more that Expedia and the like are deliberately muddying the waters. If the seller is indeed acting as an agent, then the hotel most certainly should know the amount the customer has been charged. The fact that the agent settles net...

There is a difference between the settlement of net funds, and the accounting involved. What the hotel received from Expedia is the net - but not what they should be invoicing the customer. In the case of the customer, they should receive the invoice from the hotel for the full amount they...
