Tax Deductible Gamer

62 episodes - English - Latest episode: 23 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1 rating

Back when Dan Dennis was a teenager, the Australian Taxation Office withheld tax and investigated him twice over the matter of $30. This podcast is his revenge.


Dan has a full time job in marketing, an amateur career in comedy and an above average spending rate on video games. He’s hoping that by starting this podcast he can claim some of those costs back.


Every week, Dan and a guest will go over video game news, review what they’ve been playing and just have a general chat about games in general.


It’s not going to be an amazing podcast, but just good enough for tax purposes.
