Hi all,
Recently moved into a Strata property that unfortunately had a common area issue.
During diagnosis one of the other owners did a cash-in-hand job with a tradie who identified the common area issue. They’re now requesting reimbursement from the Strata (as it’s confirmed a C.A. issue).
In my view it’s simple, no tax-invoice, no reimbursement. However I’m having difficulty finding where this sort of information is stated in Strata guidelines?
This has caused me to question my view and wonder is their leniency/a threshold amount that can be claimed for reimbursement without a tax invoice by Owners?

I believe you need a receipt: “If you pay for anything for the scheme in cash, or get any cash for the scheme, you must keep a specific record of the amount of cash going in or out, and what it was for. Keep copies of all receipts or invoices for the cash payment.”
If you have a Strata Manager it would be worth discussing with them, if you don’t it would be a good idea to ensure that all compliance is being checked on contractors before engaging them as possibly not if cash in hand jobs are happening.
