Nothing says "I'm an accountant" like a big ass ute.

  What is a ute?

    Short for utility vehicle. Basically anything with a cabin, and some sort of bed or tray at the back.

    Austrian. A UTE is sedan frame with a truck bed on the back. This is not a UTE. It’s a truck.

      Austrian? I think you mean Australian there mate! Trucks are much heavier, UTEs are what you Yankees call “trucks”. It’s a UTE because it’s a utility vehicle and used by tradies and farmers and the like.

  Maybe some kind of write-off that only creative accountants know about?

    Any accountant will tell you that most businesses can’t write off tax against a normal car, as it’s not a work vehicle, so they buy pickups because vans are impractical for normal use

      I think it works different in NZ.

  Lotta paper to haul. Does all calculations long form, fills all forms by hand, and bills at $100/hr

    I used to do freelancing and used a tax accountant because it was multi-state work. I remember when I asked if I had to get him all the physical paperwork and he said, “No dude. Just provide me a PDF”.

  There is a purpose. It let’s us know they’re overcompensating for small penises.

  I think I’m too rightside-up to understand this Aussie meme

    This is, sadly, all too common in NZ.

  There’s a lot of misunderstood masculinity out there.

  • Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s a tax thing, nothing to do with genitals.

      The accounting firm gets a bigger tax break by buying a pickup truck rather than a sadan or a minivan?

  Isn’t that a truck, not a UTE?

  source

  • evanuggetpi@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s what they’re called in NZ/Australia

    • schnokobaer@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I always thought a Ute was specifically a normal sized, non-offroad car but with a bed rather than a boot with a lid.

  • Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The only thing we call a “truck” here is something you need a special licence endorsement to drive.

  Seeing as he’s got a tow ball he probably has fun on the weekends.

  • Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is almost certainly a toy hauler of some description.

• Streptember@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Only thing I can figure is to have more space for that ad.

  • Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And that’s why you’re not an accountant.

  Maybe growing his ASSets

  Farms need accountants too, it also snows a lot on the south island in NZ so wanting a vehicle with 4 wheel drive isnt unreasonable.

  But realistically the business justification for that vehicle is that I own a business and need a vehicle. You can have “the company Lambo” if you make enough money.

  I don’t know your tax laws, sorry. Ours say “my balls are attached to the bumper”

  This post makes me want to get a ute, so I can enrage dweebs like you.

  source

  • luthis@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    If you’re an accountant and you’re buying a ute just for looks, I’m afraid you’re the dweeb.

    source

    • Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      They’re buying them because they can be claimed as a “work vehicle”, but used like a family sedan.
