Leaving aside trustees and SME owners, and assuming the nominative value of any arbitrary give-away is about AUD 50,000; is anyone able to briefly comment on the tax-treatments for folks receiving the full-pension, and/or full-time wage earners?I am so pleased to hear this news and well done. I have been entering the P1 give-a-ways since the P1 briefing started. No one ever seemed to win but to be fair I never checked the results. From memory @Princess Fiona posted about winning something and now you, it has restored some faith that the competition is real and not just words in an email.
Generally, prizes are not taxed, but best go to the source on this type of thing: Prizes and awards.Leaving aside trustees and SME owners, and assuming the nominative value of any arbitrary give-away is about AUD 50,000; is anyone able to briefly comment on the tax-treatments for folks receiving the full-pension, and/or full-time wage earners?
any chance that this could be classed as prizes or something similar in line to lottery-winnings? I am no accountant and am asking out of curiosity... thanks

Congrats on making P1 @_TheTraveller_ - good they moved you to J. Nice move.
One question from your story re the family and being asked to move for them - how did that happen? was that done in lounge/gate? or the crew on board or anyone from the family themselves? not really on topic for P1 for sure, but there are different ways to approach this so just curious.
Enjoy the white!
Totally agree, it’s too close to silverOn the topic of P1 "whites", funnily enough I've found that the white distinction is very difficult for crew and lounge staff to recognise.
Firstly good effort in gaining P1. In some of the US AA lounges the staff have taken a closer look at the white card and contemplated if I should be granted access if this happens point out the OW green oval and they will let you in. This has happened on more than one occasion and normally the lounge staff response was something along the line of we have not seen a white card before. One AFFers I know said just tell them it is the QF version of Concierge Key and they would just waive you through.On the topic of P1 "whites", funnily enough I've found that the white distinction is very difficult for crew and lounge staff to recognise
Maybe they'd be better off forgetting shades of precious metals and just going with the purple that is used on the OBMs' Red App? At least it would clearly stand out!Firstly good effort in gaining P1.

@arrow a few years back the P1 boarding pass on the phone was basically the silver background with a Roo that I seem to recall was black and Platinum One in red under it, this then changed to a red Roo with the same text (I maybe wrong and just do not remember). Over the years the background has become lighter and agree for some it can be difficult to distinguish the difference, see here it is not quite the topic but similar.
I tried F but apparently no luck.
Was it rejected on the phone or did it go to manual review?
I tried via email last night and said no go for 2 dates. I also tried calling tonight but apparently the computer was down. Said I would hear back later this morning.
There may be blackout periods for European summer holidays, as another factor to consider.Would suggest calling during VIP team hours to firstly confirm you're speaking with someone onshore.
This level of availability in all classes looks likely to be a full year out, and if they're saying no to a single F seat for a P1 on an F9A6 inventory 11+ months, even after a few possible dates.. well.. it feels like HUACA is worth trying.
Agree. There’s definitely black out periods.There may be blackout periods for European summer holidays, as another factor to consider.
