It’s been a mainstay of the community for decades but has faced its share of uncertainty in recent years with changes in ownership and fears of jobs being shipped overseas. In fact the parent company has even sent up representatives from its Mexican operations lately for training leading many employees to conclude it’s only a matter of time before their jobs are shipped south of the Rio Grande… They should have pursued a higher education to improve their prospects. Which of course is a viewpoint born of complete and utter ignorance. Somebody had to work in our factories take those semi-skilled jobs endure the hellishness of shift-work to provide the rest of us with the modern conveniences and toys we take for granted. What are we supposed to do now ship them off to work in the offshore factories where their jobs have gone? There used to be a sense of pride in getting one’s hands dirty with an honest day’s work. Now there is only a demoralized feeling of betrayal that their contribution to the economy has earned them little more than a kick in the teeth.

At age 60 you could withdraw the money tax-free topay the house off. I am 47 with a wife and two young children… Under the Centrelink aged pension assets test theprincipal place of residence is excluded. If the property isleased generating rental income is the income included as part ofthe income test? My wife and I are approaching retirement andcontemplating travelling. We are considering renting out our homeduring this period or possibly doing a house exchange. Weappreciate that our income will be assessable for income tax aswould any pension received. However we are interested in findingout the treatment of the rental income for the pension incometest. The income derived from a principal place of residence let outto tenants is most certainly counted for the income means test inthe same way as normal rental income on an investment propertywould be considered. With the income test Centrelink takes intoconsideration the net income (rental income less any mortgagepayments that may be applicable less any non-capital expenses) andcan request a tax return to confirm the costs.
