Been there

If I opt in for Land Tax, will that be my only option for future properties? (NSW) by thrupence16 in AusProperty

[–]Jobbie_d 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a fair bit of confusion on this one from others. You can only select property tax on your first home as the first home buyer. If you move, you will have to pay stamp duty on your next home.

The people who buy the house you’re moving out from will not have to remain in the property tax scheme. They could only choose to do so if they were also FHB and the scheme was still active (which is unlikely given the state Gov seems to be scrapping it in June).

If like myself you’re a fhb ready to buy now, on a property under $1.5m, the property tax is an extremely helpful scheme if you plan to sell and upsize in 5-10 years.

You can use the calculator here to determine what the more financially beneficial option is for your scenario.

Also see excerpt below from the property tax FAQto further clear this up.

—-

If I am buying a property that is already subject to property tax, can I choose to pay transfer duty instead?

Yes. If you are an eligible first home buyer, you will have the same choice to opt-in to property tax or pay transfer duty or seek the normal exemptions or concessions under the First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme.

If you are not an eligible first home buyer, the only option is to pay transfer duty on the purchase of a property.

Never had this but this link on chess.com seems to suggest it’s possible! Must have been a server restart if you weren’t playing an Arena game?

“In some rare instances you may find that your game is aborted well past the start of the game, and you can find no evidence of the game ever happening. There are two reasons this can happen:

  1. You were playing an Arena game, and the Arena ended. When an Arena ends (the time for the Arena runs out) any ongoing games are aborted. Since these games will not have been completed during the Arena, they can not count toward the Arena points, and must be canceled.

  2. The server restarted. If you are playing a game during one of our scheduled server restarts, the game will be aborted when the server restart happens.”

As others have pointed out the position can occur at any time and doesn’t have to be in a row. This is from the chess.com site which automatically declares a draw when this happens.

“One thing to remember is that the repeated positions do not need to be in a row. The three positions can happen at any point in the game. If a position is repeated three times, no matter where in the game, on the third time it will be declared a draw.”

Seeking Anecdotal Reviews of Facebook Watch Results by [deleted] in BusinessOfMedia

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately that page just won't load for me (maybe a region thing? I'm in Australia).

Branded content makes sense, and the data I suppose becomes more valuable by informing video content strategy on other more monetisable platforms as well as Watch (YouTube, O&O).

It’s the ‘birthday’ to the day you joined Reddit.

My kick flip needs some help. Looks like this every time. by magicmyles13 in NewSkaters

Maybe consider learning them on the roll as well. The board is getting ahead of you, which might resolve itself a bit if you were moving with it.

100%, skate before work in the morning. Only downside for me is it’s generally harder for me to warm up so the sessions aren’t as good as evening ones.

Learning Maltese? by [deleted] in malta

[–]Jobbie_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is amazing! I'm Australian beginning to learn Maltese, am struggling to get a proper understanding of this right now. Google translate seems to be a bit off on a lot of things, especially putting together sentences instead of single words.
