Join us on Episode 4 of Tax Lore as we delve into the bizarre deductions of Gary Ogden. The Ogden case is the most notorious and laughable case for pushing the limits of what could be claimed as legitimate expenses.
We explore the strange deductions that raised eyebrows with the Australian Taxation Office, especially so when Ogden's tax agent, David McNeice, was well known for bizarre deductions. Ogden's claims included asserting that his young son provided secretarial services, 39 packets of Monte Carlo biscuits, and even claiming a Dora the Explorer pencil case and crayons as "stationary". Member Frost of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal summarises this case well in one word - "Disgraceful".
