Hi,
My partner has parenting orders with regard to his son from a previous relationship. He consistently pays the required amount of child support and has done so since the moment he moved out.
She claims the maximum amount of government benefits, but also makes a substantial amount of cash income by breeding pure-bred dogs. I'm talking about litters of on average 8 puppies, sold for at least $2000 each. From Christmas until now, there's been about 3 litters. I believe each litter is from a different b***h, therefore it's not an animal welfare concern of one female being overbred, otherwise I would have contacted the RSPCA by now.
Last financial year it was evident that she hadn't been declaring this income in her tax return.
My question is, if this year's tax return reflects the same false declaration of income, is this something we can raise with the Child Support Agency when they make income assessments of both parents? Or is it more an issue of tax evasion through the ATO?
The dogs are posted for sale all over the internet including a Facebook page and website. I was sure I have read somewhere that the CSA can be receptive to 'business' websites that contain evidence of undeclared income.
The reason for asking is that information and legal advice sought will form part of an application to have current orders varied as they were made when she was living 400kms away.
Any info would be a great help.
Cheers.
