信托分给公司的钱算不算借款:高等法院 6 月 10 日判了不算,但已经签成贷款协议的退不回去
每年 6 月 30 日把信托收入分一部分给自己的公司,钱没真付过去,会计说要么付掉要么签贷款协议。这句话在 2026 年 6 月 10 日之后不再成立:高等法院以 5 比 2 判税务局败诉,认定公司受益人的未付分配权益本身不是 Division 7A 的贷款,ATO 已定撤回 TD 2022/11。但已经按旧口径签成贷款协议的退不回去,本财年最低还款按 8.77% 的基准利率算;Subdivision EA 与第 100A 条也仍然适用。而财政部 9 月 3 日的信托最低税草案意见期 9 月 18 日截止,未付权益的立法将另行推进。

自管养老金的税务优惠到底是什么:15% 和免税从哪来,以及它在什么情况下变成 45%
问「自管养老金有什么税务优惠」,多数回答会给你 15% 这个数字。它是对的,但它只是三档里的一档,另一档是 45%。本文按 ATO 官方规则讲清优惠具体优惠在哪(供款、资本利得三分之一折扣、退休阶段 ECPI)、资本损失那条不对称规则,以及最容易被忽略的一点:2018 年 7 月起,基金「花得太少」也可能构成 NALI,把相关收入推到最高边际税率。
