1/ Karen Says
This weeks non-music industry "tip" - if you have anything to include in
this section - let me know!
Horribly boring - I know!!  BUT did you know if you are in business (eg
part-time musician, full-time musician, part time engineer, full-time
engineer - you get the picture) the "lovely" people at the IRD have a FREE
service where they will come out and tell you all about how the tax system
works, what you can claim for tax, all about GST etc etc.
