标题: 免费关于退税的专业知识贡献和咨询
仅供参考, 不负担任何相关的法律责任. 政策每年都在变,以下的内容全部是和2011 税务相关的,请勿对照入座!谢谢!

一直直接间接地从事个人退税事务有2年以上的经验,再加上之前学校里学的税法,和业余时间又充电学的税务知识,相信对于在这边生活和政府税务局打交道,这些基本的必备的知识是不可少的。

有需要退税信息可免费提供咨询,
http://www.auzoom.com/bbs/thread-29139-1-1.html 可参考这个网址的信息。

所有的海外留学生和457签证的持有者可以申请medicare levy examption certificate, 这将帮助您节省不少,由于ETAX只是针对澳洲人的软件,在医疗保险这方面也是,忽略了小群体的利益,必须通过申请才可以免掉的。  

而我就第二点展开说明。

税单group certificate或去年赋税纪录tax return or assessment notice、工资单、其他所有收入纪录如退休金、福利金、卖出股票、收进租金。所有和工作、生意、理财投资有关的支出的凭证(收据、发票、车票、机票、账单、私人医保的编号、配偶和孩子的收支文件、有效的便条等),公司或小生意的账本明细册。某些支出没有凭证如火车票,只要有合理的计算方法,税局也是认可的。所有报税资料要保存五年,税局每年会抽查,到时候一切凭证据讲话,但有时候合情合理的“忘记了”也是可被税务官接受的。但如查实了错报漏报多报不报,罚款很厉害,至少是年收入的13%。和工作有关的支出在$300以下的,一般无需凭证,可凭自己记录获得退税。


通常案例简单的就是有一份或者几份的工作收入以及放在银行里的定期和活期超过2元以上的利息和相关工作当中的耗费。

有的人在工作当中产生的一些津贴和补助也是作为收入要申报的,想对应的花费也可以分支这些经铁和补助, 这个方面尤为注意的,因为从你登记退税起的两年内你都可以修正你自己的退税,当由于自己的失误超过2年有效时限那么这部分损失就只能由自己承担了。

银行里的定期和活期超过2元以上的利息 单纯指代银行的,但任何关于税务局的失误而补偿你的利息也需要申报,这属于利息的一种, 例如,你09年的退税多交税了,那么更正后税务局会将多收的税以及因此产生的利息今年一并退还给你的,这种情况下的利息就必须申报, 这在税务局也是有明确记录的.

有更新,收入在16000以下的低收入人群在退税时计算下来交税额度为0。
Income thresholds for Medicare levy reduction
Individual income thresholds

Table 1: Medicare levy thresholds for an individual

Category  2010-2011
Lower threshold      Upper threshold

If you were eligible for the senior Australians tax offset
$30,685                      $36,100

If you were eligible for the pensioner tax offset
$30,439*                          $35,810*

All other taxpayers
$18,839*                 $22,163*


over $77000, medicare surcharge at additional 1% without private health insurance is a must.

大多数人应该属于第三类,单身,没有配偶和子女的,在18839收入以下的均不用交医疗保险,在18839-22163之间的须交纳

(taxable income-18839)*10%

在22163之上的就需要交1。5%的taxable income 医疗保险。

高于77000没有私人医疗保险会在基本医疗保险缴纳的基础上再多交1%。

捐款在10元之内不需要提供收据单。

Natural disaster donation receipts

If you made one or more donations of $2 or more to bucket collections conducted by an approved organisation for natural disasters such as the floods in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, bushfires in Western Australia, Cyclone Yasi in Queensland, and the earthquakes in Christchurch and north-eastern Japan, you can claim a tax deduction of up to $10 for the total of those contributions without having a receipt.

If you used the web or phone to make a donation over $2, your web receipt or credit card statement is sufficient. If you donated through third parties, such as banks and retail outlets, the receipt they gave you is also sufficient. If you contributed through 'workplace-giving' your payment summary shows the amount you donated. Item D9 deals with donations.

Is your scholarship taxable?
Determination of scholarship taxability
Version: 2.0.1
     
  Your scholarship will not be taxable.
      
  
You provided the following information   
  Are you receiving a scholarship, bursary, educational allowance or educational assistance?
  
Yes

  Are you a full-time student?
  
Yes

  Are you enrolled at a school, college or university?
  
Yes

  Is there a condition that you continue to be, or will become, an employee of the person or authority making the payment? 不是奖学金提供者的员工.
  
No

  Are you a party to, or entering into, a contract with the scholarship provider that is wholly and principally for your labour? 和奖学金提供者没有合同和雇佣关系.
  
No

  Can you be required, under the terms of the scholarship, to provide personal services (now or in the future) for the scholarship provider (or a nominee)?
  
No       未来也不会给奖学金提供者提供个人雇用服务.

  Is the scholarship payment provided principally for educational purposes?
  
Yes


You should advise your payer that your scholarship is exempt income. Accordingly, they do not need to withhold tax (PAYG) from your periodic payments.

You should not show your scholarship as assessable income in your tax return.


如果在选择“不是“的选项中你选择是的话,那就是需要申报的。

通常情况下你的奖学金提供者会告诉你这笔收入是免税还是需要交税的。

你既然没有交税又何来退税之说呢,退税就是把你多交的税退还给你,如果你没有交给的话ATO就当然没办法做退税啦

http://aupeopleweb.com/1/aupeople1/read.php?tid=119014  请查看这个连接的问题。


这种说法不完全正确,即使你没有交税,但是你有投资收益的话,比如利息,利息只需要提供自己的税号,在年底的时候自己申报的.也是收入的一部分,他是这边的居民,是必须有义务在年底退税的.

如果他置之不理的话,那么他将受到税务局的信件,提示要办理退税.因为没有按时交税,退税晚了可能第一次的失误不会收到罚款,但是必须要交纳税务局晚交税应补偿的利息.如果收到罚款那就更得不偿失了.

这个是非常严肃的事情,还是请慎重对待的好.

有一种可能就是他只有工资而没有其他收入,如果在一个财务年里他没有工资也没有收入,他还是要被要求登记"免退税声明"的. From:A.U.PEOPELE西澳州最大华人网:www.AUPEOPLEweb.com

e-pre-filling is a service available within e-tax which partially completes your tax return for you. It downloads information straight into your e-tax return from:

the data we already have from your previous returns and account activity, and
current year information that other organisations (such as employers, banks and other government agencies) are required to report to us.

预先填写资料,这是由于税务局和银行,顾主,和其他政府部门的链接而共享的资料,可以从税务局下载下来。

当有时候出现数据不一样的时候,往往就需要自己有一份资料,然后再和税务局提供的核对,如果两者都对,那数据没有问题,如果一方数据有问题,就需要依税务局的为准,如果确认税务局的数据有误,就需要原始数据提供者的更改。

比如,顾主上报的group certificate有错误的话,还是要依照税务局的数据做,但是可以要求顾主更改,然后再做退税,不然就是做完的退税也需要更改。

没有收入的配偶并且没有孩子而且不领取CENTRELINK 任何福利的可以分支另一配偶的纳税,

配偶收入    分支额

0                   2286

9426               0

随着配偶的收入涨到$9426,配偶分支纳税的权利也将降为0 。

计算方法为 $2286-( ATI -$282)

 ATI 指 ADJUSTED TAXABLE INCOME
基本上包括基本收入,津贴,FBT, REPORTABLE EMPLOYER SUPER CONTRIBITION ,TARGET FOREIGN INCOME, TOTAL NET INVESTMENT LOSS 等等。

就我个人经历的,做退税要把所有材料准备齐全,想想根据自己的职业都能有什么样的减免费用,尽量最大化地使自己得到应得的退税。 

还有很多人会把今年自己的退税款项和去年的相比,和同事的相比,这种方法非常不建议的,每年的每个人的情况不同,如果是专业人员,很大程度上都是从客户的角度出发和根据税务局的明文规定办理的,不存在横向比,竖相比之说,这种科学性实在难以有以可据,如果真还如此,那么我相信大多数人会解释的很清楚,不然只能另请高就。

市面上各式各样的会计公司都有,当然收费也有所不同,但大同小异,一张工资单的退税至少要120以上, 如果能找到可靠的信得过的专业退税人员,自然可以省些银子,前提是找到专业的个人退税人员, 不然保险起见,还是去以上所的单位,要不自己好好研究一下也可以。

楼主你好
我是去年9月办的tfn吧,当时住homestay。然后去年10月搬出来了。我现在准备用户etax退利息税,但是到最后lodgement时提示我的detail和系统不匹配。请问是什么原因?谢谢

仔细检查你输入的信息和当时你申请tfn的信息是否匹配,比如名字的姓和名,生日,还有称呼MR, MRS,MS,MISS的不同都会影响你的lodgement。

还有就是你是否有被扣过利息税然后没有输入进去的?

在偏远地区工作的人员满183天就可以得到偏远地区税的补助(TAX OFFSET ZONE),其配偶或者子女一起在偏远地区的也可以得到相应的TAX  OFFSET。

如果当年不满183天的,可以把每年在偏远地区的时间记录下来,等到满足这个条件在当年积累到183天的税务年也可以得到这个税的分支。

知道

主动上报的话第一次不会罚款的,但取决于你所应交的税务是多少。

如果以后不打算留在澳洲生活,可以继续这样直到回国,等于什么事情没发生过;但有考虑生活在这边的话建议还是尽早解决。

若需要具体的事宜,请来电询问或者qq上咨询也可以,这个比较私人化,无法在这一一点明。

这是税务局给的福利而已,补贴低收入者的。

今年的低收入补助是1500,收入低于30000的都可以享受这个福利。
在30000和67500之间的,计算如下:
1500-(taxable income-30000)*25%

高于67500,就没有这福利了。


如果应缴税收入是40000,那么所得到的低收入福利是:
1500-(40000-30000)*25%=1250

希望能帮助你。

本人事例,4年前我请同学作税,其实他们做的很好,但是也是知道的有限,在其中一项中没有帮我要回来大概300-400的钱,这样看来,即使我付非100,也还有200-300的盈余,不至于损失这笔钱, 现在还不能更改,因为过了有效期。

针对第一年退税用etax的,

第一年退税,税务局那边还没有整体的信息,因为通常第一年退税都比较滞后的,通常在8月底9月之后才有可能有信息, 可以在8月下旬试试或者直接打印出来邮寄出去。

如果不是第一年那么用notice of assessment上网登记,如果没有就用当年退款给的那个银行账号。

是的,需要做退税.

是不是这边居民做退税的时候看你是否有意向长期呆下去6个月以上. 是的话,那就是是的.

上一个财税年没有住满6个月只是税务局实行的一个标准之一.

last minute tax tips for June 2011
28 Apr 2011 | ipac money mentors


转载 http://www.ipac.com.au/blog/last-minute-tax-tips-for-june-2011

The end of the 2010/11 financial year is fast approaching, which also means tax time. If you haven’t thought about your tax yet, don’t fear, there are a number of strategies you can put in place to trim your tax bill for this financial year before it ends on 30 June 2011.
minimising your assessable income
Your primary goal, for tax purposes, is to minimise your assessable income. ‘Assessable’ income is your gross income ie; a combination of your salary and wages, plus additional income sources such as interest from cash accounts, share dividends, managed fund distributions, property rental income and capital gains. Take away all allowable tax deductions and then you have taxable income which is the figure used to calculate your tax bill.

In other words, the lower your income, the less tax you will pay – it’s that simple. If your taxable income is, say, $50,000, your tax bill will be $10,050; if your income is $80,000 your tax bill rises to $18,750. To check personal tax rates, go to www.ato.gov.au.

use superannuation to minimise assessable income
For employees, and business owners for that matter, one way to minimise assessable income and reduce your tax bill is by making ‘salary sacrifice’ contributions to your superannuation. Salary sacrifice is an arrangement with your employer where you make additional super contributions from your pre-tax salary, rather than receiving it as take-home pay. The money that goes into super is taxed at the low rate of 15 per cent, which for many people will be lower than their marginal tax rate that they pay on this income if they received it in the hand.

It’s also worth noting that salary sacrifice contributions are concessional contributions, and are currently limited to a total of $50,000 a year for those over 50 before penalty tax applies. If you’re under age 50, the limit it is currently capped at $25,000 a year. These caps are indexed.

If you’re nearing the concessional contributions limit and you have spare cash lying around, it’s possible to make non-concessional contributions from your after-tax income.

There is also an annual cap for non-concessional contributions before penalty tax applies. In 2010/11, the non-concessional contributions cap is $150,000. If you are under 65 years of age as at 1 July, you can ‘bring forward’ two years worth of contributions, giving you a total non-concessional contributions cap of $450,000 for the three years, rather than a $150,000 cap in each year of the three years. This is a very useful strategy, however it can require some careful planning if you want to maximise the benefits and avoid the penalties that apply if you over-contribute.

Investment earnings of your super fund are also taxed at a maximum rate of 15 per cent instead of at your individual marginal tax rate. This is what makes super an attractive investment vehicle for many people.

income splitting
This is a highly effective way for couples to minimise the total amount of tax they pay and the principle is very simple. If you have a spouse or partner who either doesn’t work or who earns a low income, it’s possible to minimise your combined total tax bill by holding some of your investments in the name of the person who earns the least. You can’t split income from, say, wages or salaries with your spouse, but you can certainly hold investments in his or her name. This means any income from them goes into your spouse’s tax return and is taxed at their lower marginal rate – or not at all if they earn below $16,000 in 2010/112.

maximise your deductions
Generally, deductions are any expenses made in earning your income. Expenses might include mobile phone charges, membership of professional organisations, tax agent services and vehicle expenses.

Making vehicle expense claims often involves keeping a log book that demonstrates your work-related vehicle use. The log book lets your tax agent or accountant calculate whether you are eligible for deductions related to vehicle maintenance and fuel costs. If you don’t have a log book, get one and also gather together any relevant bills and statements relating to your vehicle now to avoid panic later.

investment property expenses
If you own an investment property you can claim expenses including advertising, pest control, body corporate fees, property agent’s fees, some repairs, gardening, insurance, interest on loans and even land tax. It’s worth making sure you get minor maintenance tasks out of the way before the end of the financial year so you can claim these costs against your income.

You may also be able to write off the value of depreciating assets such as hot water heaters and stoves. However, be careful and seek the advice from your accountant if you are uncertain – remember if your rental property has been off the market for a period, for example while undergoing renovations, you may not be able to claim expenses incurred during that time.

Still on the issue of timing, it might also be possible to prepay some future expenses associated with holding an investment and claim an immediate deduction. For example, if you have borrowed to invest in a rental property, it might be possible to prepay the loan interest for the 2011/12 tax year before 30 June 2011. Usually your lender will calculate the amount and it will involve you making a lump sum payment. This amount can then be claimed as a deduction against your 2010/11 tax bill. Before embarking on this strategy, check with your accountant whether it’s the right course of action, also being aware that some lenders may not allow interest prepayments.

get your timing right
If you are thinking about selling a capital asset before the end of the financial year, consider timing the sale to manage any capital gains tax (CGT) you may have to pay. Simply put, CGT is tax assessed on the gain in value of certain assets you sell including shares or an investment property. You may be able to include certain holding costs of the asset to reduce the total gain. Also, if you have held the asset for more than 12 months, you will generally be entitled to discount the gross gain by 50 per cent and only pay tax on half the gain. The net taxable gain will be taxed at your marginal tax rate.

You may benefit by deferring an asset sale until after 30 June, particularly if you are expecting to be on a lower income in the next financial year. This may apply to people considering retirement or taking extended leave, whose income will be considerably reduced in the next year.

Nobody likes paying tax, and with some simple strategies like those above, it is possible to minimise your tax bill. Please talk to us about the ways we might be able to help you manage your tax affairs better.

Barefoot Tax Tips
Superannuation:
Low income earners still have the chance to earn a 100% return on their money with co-contributions. And if your spouse earns under $13,800 a year you can get a rebate of $540 for chipping in $3,000 to their super.

Government goodies:
There’s a tax rebate for any medical expenses you’ve incurred over $2,000 – you can claim back 20 cents in the dollar.

With the education tax refund you can also claim 50 per cent of eligible education expenses for the kids (up to $397 for primary, $794 for secondary).

Deductions:
You can claim legitimate work-related deductions. There’s a range of occupational guides on the ATO website

Private health insurance:
If you earn over $77,000 single ($154,000 household combined), you can avoid the Medicare levy surcharge by getting private health insurance.

E-tax:
If you have a simple tax situation, do your tax online. It’s easy and free.

请问下lz:如果去年没有待到一整年(即年收入没有达到$77,000),是不是可以不申请medicare levy exemption了?

顺便再问下:如果是couple,是否像你说的,$154,000 household combined之上才会被charge medicare levy?

多谢搂主~~

这边有三个不同的概念
medicare levy exemption是指不享受澳洲medicare的人可以申请,如果你是公民或者永久居民,那肯定申请不了,只有海外学生和工作签证的人,和其他不享受澳洲公立医疗的人才可以申请的。

medicare levy是指单个人的交税收入超过大概18839,家庭的话大概在$37,398 *
以上,有孩子的话每个孩子会再加上3434左右,这个收入之上的话就必须要交医疗保险税,不管你有没有私人医疗保险,这是强制的。

medicare levy surcharge 是指个人的交税收入超过77000的话,家庭是154000,有孩子的话每个孩子加1500, 没有私人医疗保险的话,在medicare levy 1.5%的基础上另外加收1%的医疗保险,也是强制的。

Yes, very good! You are correct on the 12 week period. Although the point I was making was that you should check  every year to see if your business % changes. Might be 85% in the initial year, drop to 65% in the next year then increase to 92% in the third year. Must also be mindful when you are claiming different rates each year that you make the correct adjustments for profit/(loss) on sale of a vehicle that has been used for business purposes. You have a good weekend too. See you Monday morning.

Hey, Good evening, xxx,

I have done some work regarding vehicle logbook we discussed last Thursday afternoon. Please see highlighted and underlined sentences in red color below , which are extracted from ATO website.

It is said that the logbook is valid for five years and a reasonable estimate of business use percentage can be made ONLY if any variations happen If the pattern of the car use changed during the year.  All others mention are to keep a logbook in the meantime.

Would you please let me know if I am on the right track or not at your convenient time? Thank you.

Have a wonderful weekend.


Extracted Vehicle logbook information from ATO website.

"If the pattern of your car use changed during the year, make a reasonable estimate of your business use percentage for the whole of 2010-11, taking into account your logbook, odometer and other records, any variations in the pattern of use of your car and any changes in the number of cars you used in the course of earning your income.


Logbook period

Your logbook is valid for five years. If this is the first year you are using this method, you must have kept a logbook during 2010-11. It must cover at least 12 continuous weeks. If you started using your car for work-related purposes less than 12 weeks before the end of the year, you can extend the 12-week period into 2011-12. (If you are using the logbook method for two or more cars, the logbook for each car must cover the same period.)

If you established your business use percentage using a logbook from an earlier year, you need to keep that logbook and maintain odometer records. You also need to keep a logbook if we told you in writing to keep one."

谢谢!

那是当然的,如果你交了不属于你要交的医疗保险,那肯定需要medicare levy exemption来证明你免这个强制医疗税。

低于18839的话你不需要交医疗保险税,所以就不需要麻烦自己去申请这个免医疗保险的。因为结果是一样的。

哦,还有一个问题,关于填income 10 gross interest那里,tax pack里面说,如果是joint account,在填个人报税的时候需要把利息和税都按照一半来算。但是因为另一半没有收入(单独填了non-lodgment 的表格),所以另一半的利息/税其实都没有得到申报。那这样的情况该如何处理呢?是依然按照一半的数目申报我自己的?还是把全部额度都算在我一个人身上(i.e. do not share the amounts of interest equally)?

多谢lz~~

只能报一半。

另外一半如果已经登记了non-lodgment 的表格那是自动放弃另一半的利息/税。

真心请教的问题会耐心解答,不懂乱问浪费别人时间的人请绕道。

还有对那些不懂得退税知识而且横向纵向比来比去的人也请你们绕道,不要浪费别人宝贵的知识和时间。

也就此声明一点,这些人的退税,即使交费也请另寻他人。

谢谢合作。

另外想请教一下,今天那个bureau的人帮我用e-tax算了一下,结果说我欠了政府300多块(才大约20天的收入,就欠了这么多),需要补交。想请问lz这样的情况普遍吗?大概是我之前理解错了,总以为单位已经扣过个人所得税了,所以报税的目的是为了refund,claim back一些,没想到算下来的结果是反而还得多交。能麻烦lz帮忙解惑吗?

city council fee, car insurance 得分情况而定。

如果是由出租房那city council fee是肯定可以抵扣的,

car insurance需要看你是否有用车用于工作,还有你用什么样的方法(税务中有四种)报销你的车费而定。

为了工作迁移到另一个城市的费用,可以算work-related expense,看情况而定,如果公司有津贴的话,那么你自己的花费超过了津贴,那就可以算。 即使发票丢了只要在税务局的官方合理的范围内也可以,这个税务局有相应的额度作参考。但是报得如果超过这个额度而没有发票的话最高以税务局给定的额度为准。


如果你没有津贴的前提下那必须要有发票。
