To say that my day was wasted spending in dealing with my builder over this issue would be putting it mildly. No notice and we were still trying to find out what our builders offer actually was and the conditions of it. So yes very annoyed with the govt and builders non interest in our situation.
Govt apparently ran out of funds on this scheme so halted it early. Why set a date then take it away? We were trying to get the deposit together if required under the terms of our builders offer and also wanted to know if we could qualify for the free offer they had.
So if I tell Mr Swan now that I don't wish to pay my Capital Gains Tax this year on an investment property I sold until a few months after the due date do you think he will mind? I think not. Poor effort Rudd Government on this offer. Struggling people who are trying to find every cent to put into their houses to stimulate your economy and you remove the welcome mat from under our feet. No FHOG here Mr Rudd but because of personal reasons I took a salary holiday and actually qualified for one of your rebates schemes and you change the rules. You have lost my vote for the future and any credibility I may have thought you have had.
