A local baby boomer has stormed out of his accountantâs office this week after his accountant dared to suggest that the boomerâs tax return might not subsidise the two overseas holidays he had planned for later this year.
Itâs believed that Simon Hortly-Smith told his accountant that he was a âuseless piece of shitâ and that he wasnât sure what he was even paying him for, before leaving the office in a white rage.
The Advocate sat down with Mr. Hortly-Smith after he had simmered down to see what caused him this clear distress.
âWhen youâd been dodging tax on 5 negatively geared investment properties, 3 separate trust accounts and 10 hobbies, youâd be pissed off too if your accountant all of a sudden told you to pay tax, wouldnât you?â
âThis prick is telling me I have to pay an extra $50k this yearâ
âWhere am I going to find that kind of money?â
âHonestly, itâs bullshit.â
Upon speaking to Mr. Hortly-Smithâs accountant though, our reporter was able to see that $50k really wasnât that much in the scheme of his clientâs wealth.
“Fuck I hope Labor don’t get in he said,” the boomer said concluding the interview.
More to come.
