They say two things are certain in life: tax, and more taxes. With July 1 peeking around the fiscal corner, small-business owners likely have money on their mind. Sadly, so does the tax office, which is vigilant as ever this EOFY, warning businesses about deductions, business travel and those pesky franking credits. Usually I'd say here that it's been a bad week for Retail Food Group, but that phrase seems superfluous, as every week recently has been bad for the embattled franchising giant. It's facing (another) class action from disgruntled Michel's Patisserie owners, who claim they were misled by the company. As they say, the proof is in the (past its use-by) pudding. Finally, customers are mighty angry with a travel agent in Melbourne which cancelled bookings, shut its doors and claimed it had collapsed … despite the fact it hasn't. |
