Bike groups were lobbying for this years ago, there is so much done in Europe for this space but here nothing.

That's a lot of bootstraps that people are pulling themselves up by.

The last time I was a commonwealth employee there was a health and fitness bonus (about $300) at the time. You had to request it from your supervisor and after that there was no need to substantiate a purchase etc. Many nonconventional purchases on my behalf, and in true public service style people who didn't think it was a good thing to receive.

Isn't that what our politicians are paid (by their donors) for?
Dumb idea, it will just push up the cost and also cost way more to administer than any benefit.The whole gym industry is full of scams, crooks, and bodgy dealings. If this goes through, do we also get to claim subsidies for our bike related purchases?
Tax-deductible gym memberships? This group reckons it's a no-brainer
Rent rises and cost-of-living pressures have seen more people cancelling their gym memberships. One fitness group thinks making gym sessions tax-deductible will keep more Australians healthy and is lobbying the government to get on board.www.abc.net.au
GYMs sell good intentions in the form of memberships and the people that already go value the membership already.
You would also need to define a gym and all the other activities that look like a gym as in or out. Before you know it a work out you get in a whore house will be considered gym tax worthy.
GYMs were also one of the first placed to get shut down during covid when they should have remained open for people to stay heathy. How times change in only a few short years.
I do think e bikes should be available on salary sacrifice if you can commute to work on them. it would be dam easy to share your strava as a record commute vs personal use.

According to many apartment developers, a gym is a treadmill, a few hand weights and an exercise bike and then sell it as a gym and share it between 100+ apartment dwellers. (I bought an exercise bike from one of these places upgrading, the 'upgrade' was a wholey white Kogan bike to replace a yellow and grey $300 bike)

Surely, the 'roids and all the DoYouEvenLiftBro supplements would have to be deductible too.

I'll go with it being an elaborate pisstake. The gentlemen can't help themselves but do something stupid for fun and this qualifies.
