Elias Member 109 Member For: 17y 5m 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/04/08 11:31 PM Share Posted 23/04/08 11:31 PM I think you need to earn about $20000 per anum in order to then claim any losses. that means you will need to get at least one job almost every weekend @ $400 a pop. Dont think there is that much demand for a Falcon as a wedding car. Maybe a GT If you advertise enough. Best bet is to simply put the word out that you want this type of work and keep it as a word of mouth business and make a few quid here and there. If you get pulled up you can just say that you are doing it as a favour for a mate, wheras if you try and advertise to get more business, then you will need to get the relevant licences/permits otherwise it will be easy for the authorities to prove you are doing this as a business and not as a favour.

What about people who set up their businesses, machinery etc. They never see any sales day 1, of course you can claim your capital costs now..Whats the difference if one of us asked a favour and organised for a few Ts to turn up somewhere and be used for a wedding as a favour... Do you need a hire car permit??? For 1 wedding... Most T's would probably only get a handful of jobs every year, the more popular T's may be a little more busy but even a few thousand in your hand every year would be nice...Someone would have to take the punt to market it, but there would be no cost for the T's as we all could ask for a pyament from this person as the car is needed.... So its primary purpose is not weddings or hire but private use... Lucky if you would do 500km per year hire purposes vs 20000km normally commuting... Cash is king... If money was exchanged who would know... The price would be attractive enough to be able to ask for cash... Credit cards, they can get a cash advance...The point Im trying to make is that as a T driver, wouldnt you like to simply get a call from (the organiser) and say need your T for 6 hours here. Can you do it. Yep, clean it up, heres $500 thankyou very much... Drive home...

The person picks which T's participate..

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 24/04/08 10:08 AM Share Posted 24/04/08 10:08 AM Firstly this site does not condone this type of businessSecondly, you would be running a very big risk. There are several cops here that would not be too impressed by this sort of activity, as well as anyone who runs a legit wedding car operation.If you were doing a job and caused injury to your clients, YOU would be personally liable and could be sued. While the idea of a cash job may seem tempting, the risks associated are not.As this is not going in a legal business direction.
