The tax agent who advised a man to claim his 7-year-old son as a work expense has struck again. This time, David McNeice acted for builder Seppo Kael, who sought to claim nearly $10,000 in overtime meal expenses.

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) threw the book at Kael, as it did at other taxpayers who tried to claim tools worth $24,000, ordinary travel in a Maserati and a Harrods shopping spree.
