Back in business

So I've been slacking off, but I've got a valid excuse since I've been flat-hunting and trying to dig through all my stuff stored in boxes. Anyway, the point is, I'm back in town. I haven't been sending 100 resumes to every recruitment agent in town, but what I have done is register a business name, get myself an ABN, and hopefully be respectfully self-employed very soon. Did anyone know that the tax office conducts free assistance visits to anyone setting up small business? They do, and they even reveal all the secret things you can do to take full advantage of our tax system. The nice man who came to visit me with tons of helpful booklets even gave me a free record-keeping CD. I don't even have to set up my own tax invoice. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm quite impressed with the Australian Tax Office.
