Quantar Basics!

TheQ Australia is a Quantar marketplace,

operating through Cyclos banking software,

in a demonstration of Aristotelian, asset

banking concepts, free from the imposition

of bank interest. Quantar is an educational

tool, allowing us to ‘rethink’,

the monetary concepts!

The name Quantar, derives from light

quanta, 'ant economics', and the 'dollar'.

The Quantar currency measure is based

upon human life-force, exchanged within

a marketplace, or simply, ‘I will go

to the sea for fish, if you go to the hills

for fruits, and tonight, we will feast’!

Quantars cannot be exchanged with national

currencies, and there is no capital gains

potential. The Quantar marketplace is not an

investment strategy, it is only an authentic

market, designed to trade goods, services,

and skills.

Quantar imposes no fees, upon marketplace

trades, and Quantar's income is based solely

upon subscriptions, Quantar merchandising,

and donations.

An $AUD18 annual subscription, inclusive of

GST obligations, can be purchased by

Australian residents, eight years of age

and older, who own an individual Australian

bank account, and anindividual email.

This subscription, limited to one per person,

creates a Quantar account, with 500Q as an

initial balance. Each time the annual

subscription is renewed, a further 500Q

is also deposited into the account.

This Quantar 'bonus', creates seed capital,

for further Quantar trades.

The Quantar currency unit, 1Q, traded within

the marketplace, is valued as $AUD1, so the

subscription increases in purchasing

power, by 2777%!

All Quantar trades must conform to GST

requirements, so businesses liable for GST,

must value their Quantar sales, as Australian

dollar sales, and send their GST obligations

to the Australian Taxation Department.

For further information, see the GST

section below.

We also ask Quantar members, to introduce

five further potential members, with each

annual subscription, as this will rapidly

expand the Quantar membership, allowing

Quantar to eventually interface,

with other markets, such as Ebay,

and Amazon Marketplace.

Welcome to TheQ Australia, an alternative

market, for the Australian people!

Quantar and GST!

There is no GST payable, on Quantar trades, between private individuals, or for small businesses, with a gross turnover, minus accrued GST, of less than $75,000. However, businesses liable for GST, simply convert their Quantar trades, into Australian dollars, ‘one-to-one’, and send their GST liabilities, to the ATO. These business, can offer 100% Quantar sales, or price their goods and services, in a mixture of Quantars, and Australian dollars, and their GST committments, will remain unchanged! For instance, a trader may sell a $10 product, for $AUD1, plus nine Quantars, and use these Australian dollars, to pay any GST commitments, recorded against a $AUD10 sale. Private businesses are responsible for their own GST commitments, as Quantar simply provides a community-based, alternative, digitally-traceable, marketplace! Quantar is providing an additional Australian trading market, so ATO taxation, should increase, not decrease!
