We purchased our Darwin residence in October 1988 and lived there until February 2002. We purchased a Queensland home in October 2001 and initially rented it out. From February 2002 until October 2002 we travelled around Australia and then moved into the Queensland home.Then in October 2003 we sold that Queensland home and purchased another. Our accountants have determined that we were liable for CGT on that Queensland home from the date of purchase until occupancy. We believed we were entitled to exemption because it was intended to be our main residence from purchase.We have heard that it is possible to have two family homes for a period of six months, thus we could claim there was no liability for CGT. Were our accountants correct? If no, how do we go about re-opening the issue?

We are a GST registered company as is our customer. We provide positioning services to our customers.A particular customer claims that the services provided are used in Papua New Guinea instead of Australia. This company is a GST registered company in Australia. Is GST applicable or will it be considered as GST-free supplies?

We are a motor vehicle dealership. If we were to fly a prospective buyer to the Sydney Motor Show for the day with one of our sales consultants, is GST applicable on the airfares, meals, taxis, etc? Or is it treated as non-deductible/non-GST expense? (i.e. an entertainment type expense).
