Hi all Something to be wary of is that some management companies operate via a partnership structure, where each contractor becomes a partner in a partnership. This type of arrangement is under scrutiny by the ATO - see http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?docid=tpa/ta20024/nat/ato/00001 Obviously it pays to get independent advice from your accountant/lawyer/clairvoyant before signing up for anything :-) Cheers Stewart __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
