ATO’d

Yesterday I had a nice call from an Indian fellow claiming to be from the ATO.

After the first five minutes I finally understood his name, Henry Martin.

Thereafter I learned that the ATO is taking me to court for tax fraud undertaken between the period of 2011-2015, totally $768.

Well, I said, that much? I’ll see you in court, I’ve never cheated on tax.

He said it will be a very expensive process and I would be better off either transferring the outstanding amount electronically, or they could send someone around to pick up the cash.

I said, no mate, I’ll defend myself, that’d be fun. And very cheap.

At which time we agreed to disagree. He could see his commission vanishing, and so did he.
