No. The IRD do not recognise property investment as a business. I think the same applies to shares, but not sure.
I should add that one of the great benefits of this is that I am not required to pay any ACC premiums. I only mention that because it's likely to reduce Belgarion to a blubbering mess.
"Put bluntly ... American made this bed of vipers" - Belge.
You should read a bit of history Belge, the conflict was not caused by Bush(es) but by the great schism in Islam between the Sunnis and Shias, the argument about the succession to Mohammed in the 7th/8th century. The conflict has been occurring and will occur independently of anything the West does or does not do.
The only chance to do something constructive was after Saddam was toppled. At that point Iraq should have been divided with defensible borders between the Kurds in the north, the Sunnis in the west and centre and the Shias in Baghdad south. In fact that is what is now happening whether Obama etc like it or not. But it would have saved countless lives and treasure if it had been done at the end of the 2nd Gulf War. The possibility was raised in a muted sort of way at the time but rejected out of hand by then world leaders without any sensible reason given for rejecting it.
Nouri al Maliki, just doesn't get it, he has a very limited mentality and world vision. His only thought seems to be to become a Shia version of Saddam and alienate the Sunnis and Kurds as much as possible.
Man I'm busy at the moment trying to run a business and working full time for another org. to boot. I'm doing it for me and my taxes will feed the useless and needy while belg complains it's not good enough. I should work harder to feed more useless lazy buggers. I've just about had enough of your moaning belg to last me a whole year and all in the last 24 hours. Then I think, just let him roll and feel his pain. I'll run with that, but will give you some advice and that is - Labour must look at itself, not blame National for the pathetic results D.C achieves. belg, keep on blaming National, because that wont fix the broken Labour Party. The way I see it, that's a big win, win, win but not for you belg. EZ and belg are part of the very reason Labour is in the crap right now, just look at how they blame National for their lack of popularity and everything else. The Labour Party is total crap, they are the useless party supporting useless and lazy kiwis. One of their favorite words is scab, well that's how I see the loonie left, scabs all of them as they are so negitive geared. Over half the population can't be wrong and that is why your next Govt. will be a National one again. Thank goodness for that too.
belg & EZ, get your laughing gear around that!!!
Cuzzie
dont be so grumpy. Im working so have not got time to post stuff. But got two days off next week and will post some brilliant stuff, which Im sure youll disagree with
Many thanks for that Sgt Pepper. Cuzzie doesn't quite grasp that Labour want to see everyone employed, or doing useful things. Being part of a fairer economy. If that means temporarily helping some out at a difficult time, then that is also OK.
I was graced with a bit of propaganda from Bill English today.
Quote:
Good afternoon (voter's first name)
New figures out yesterday show our economy grew by 3.8 per cent in the year to March 2014. (and before that it was going backwards)
New Zealand is now the third fastest growing economy in the OECD. (at last something to crow about)
This progress is no accident. National is a united team with a clear plan to build a stronger economy and manage the Government’s finances responsibly. That plan is working. (It should do, with the dairy and logging cheque going up through a happy circumstance, and we waited five years to see it).
Our next challenge is to lock in the gains of the past six years and turn them into more jobs and long-term prosperity for families. (Forget that unemployment was a lot lower under Labour, National is all about reducing jobs and holding down wages)
If we stick to our plan, we can deliver more for families and wages will will keep growing faster than inflation. We can stay in surplus and reduce debt. (The BIGGEST FIB of all, National has brought us all more govt debt and huge deficits for 5 years, while Labour had achieved the opposite)
But a divided Labour-Greens coalition spending money they don’t have would take us down a very different path. (Labour was fully funded the whole time they were in office last time, and grew the tax take. Prove Labour-Greens would be divided)
There are now just three months to go until the election on 20 September and we can’t take anything for granted. Only another strong, stable National Government can keep New Zealand moving in the right direction. (We have been moving in the wrong direction, the stats prove it. Labour/Greens need to get in, if NZ is to go ahead again)
Sincerely
Hon Bill English
PS. Help us tell New Zealand we’re on the right track. Click here to like or share this graphic on Facebook. (And if you do that, you are a fairly big mug for believing all this rubbish).
Sgt Pepper, you are not so one eyed as a couple on here and would love to hear what you have got. Let's hope its positive and factual, not more National did this crap. Talk about Labour and their future for NZ and if it is the good oil, I will congratulate you on your effort. Here is the thing though Sgt Pepper, you know and I know that is just not going to happen. BYW, I like your freestyle writing in your post not. It suits your smartphone, but not here.
