ATO对纳税人活动资格的评估:非营利非慈善组织(“NFP”),超额优惠捐款税和自然灾害救济金

NFP需要为新的回归做好准备

2024年7月1日起,拥有活跃的澳大利亚商业编号(“BN”)的非营利非慈善组织(“NFP”)(体育、社区和文化俱乐部等组织)将被要求向澳大利亚税务局提交新的年度NFP自审申报表,以确认其所得税豁免状态。

纳税人可以参考ATO的网站通过以下方式做好准备:

•使用ATO网站上的“ATO指南”对其资格进行早期审查;

•检查他们的所有详细信息是最新的,包括授权员工、联系人及其地址;

•审查其目的和管理文件,以了解其为NFP的类型;和

•设置MyGovID,并使用“关系授权管理器”将其链接到组织的ABN。

NFP可以使用在线服务进行业务备案:当需要备案时,NFP可以将在线服务用于业务,这使组织能够在方便的时候管理其报告。如果NFP聘请了注册税务代理人,其代理人也可以通过代理人的在线服务代表其进行申报。

第一份申报表是2023/24纳税年度的,NFP需要在2024年7月至10月期间准备并提交年度自我审查。

作为2023/24过渡年的临时安排,无法在线提交的符合条件的NFP将能够使用交互式语音响应电话服务提交其NFP自我审查申报表。

纳税人有责任支付超额优惠捐款税

行政上诉法庭(“AT”)最近裁定,纳税人有责任就其雇主代表其缴纳的缴款支付超额优惠缴款税

在2021收入年度,纳税人的雇主向其超级基金提供了总计31737美元的优惠超级捐款,这导致纳税人超过了2021年度的优惠捐款上限6737美元。

AAT支持ATO的决定,即不行使其自由裁量权,将超额供款重新分配到下一年,因为相关立法中没有允许ATO这样做的“特殊情况”。

AAT指出,“(纳税人)的困难在于,他承认,他的雇主何时向他的超级基金缴款从来都不确定,也没有书面协议,甚至没有口头协议规定向他的超级资金缴款的时间。因此,他的雇主在不同时间向他的超级基金支付(纳税人的)优惠缴款并不罕见。”

纳税人应该知道,一些自然灾害救济金是不征税的

因自然灾害(如重大天气事件)而获得政府支持付款的企业在提交纳税申报表之前,应检查是否需要将其作为应纳税收入纳入纳税申报表(尽管他们可能不需要为付款纳税)。

只要符合标准,纳税人就可以将一些支持付款视为“不应纳税、不免税的收入”,这意味着他们不需要将其包括在纳税申报表中。

You lodged, you paid, and then a letter said you are now in PAYG instalments with the first payment due 28 October 2026. On 4 September the ATO set the October to December general interest charge at 11.51%, the highest since early 2012, and it has not been deductible since 1 July 2025. What that does to the 85% variation limit, why an instalment notice and an activity statement carry different due dates, and the entry and exit thresholds behind the letter.

Overdue Tax Returns in Australia: What 31 October 2026 Decides, and What Waiting Costs

If any prior year return was outstanding at 30 June 2026, your 2026 return is already due 31 October, not May, and no agent can move it back. 31 October 2026 falls on a Saturday and the ATO states overdue prior year returns cannot be lodged on the next business day. What the penalties are at the new $364 penalty unit, why refund years usually attract none, and the catch-up sequence most people get backwards.
