HELP 与学生贷款还款规则的调整:最低还款门槛上调、还款改成只按超过门槛的那部分收入计算,以及一次性减免与指数化的先后顺序。对留学生和刚开始工作的毕业生影响最直接。
The Government recently announced changes to repayments for the Higher Education Loan Program (‘HELP’) and other student loan schemes. It states that it is making the HELP and student loan repayment system ‘even fairer’ by changing the repayment system and increasing the amount people can earn before they are required to start repaying their loan. The minimum repayment threshold will change from $54,435 in the 2024/25 to $67,000 in 2025/26. The Government will also introduce a system where HELP repayments are calculated only on the income above the new $67,000 threshold rather than repayments being based on total annual income. “This new repayment system means that people will only have to make student loan repayments when they can afford to[…]
100% 处于领取阶段的 SMSF 还要不要交信托收入表(TIS):ATO 的答复是要——即便全部收入按 ECPI 免税、年报 B 部分不用填,TIS 仍须随 SMSF 年度申报一并提交。
We received several questions from attends about whether an SMSF that is 100% in person phase is still required to lodge a Trust Income Schedule with its 2024 SMSF Annual Return. We sought clarification on this issue from the ATO. Specifically, if an SMSF only has exempt current pension income (‘ECPI’) for the 2024 income year (i.e. the fund is 100% in pension phase), does it need to lodge a Trust Income Schedule with respect to trust distributions that it received during the year from a managed investment trust? Based on the Trust Income Schedule instructions (QC 101716) and the SMSF Return instructions 2024 (QC 101714), as the fund only has ECPI, it is not required to complete Section B[…]

SG缴款的下一个季度截止日期是7月28日。然而,由于该日期为周末,养老金基金必须在7月29日(星期一)之前收到您的付款。请记住按时全额支付并支付到正确的基金。 如果您每季度未按时支付SG缴款,则需要支付养老金担保罚款(SGC)。这比SG缴款金额要高,并且您无法将其作为税收扣除。 从7月1日起,SG税率已上调至11.5%,因此确保您在7月1日或之后为符合条件的员工支付的款项反映新的税率。 对于截至6月30日的季度,在7月1日之前支付的款项适用11%的SG税率。 SG税率将在2025年7月逐步增加到12%。 如果您需要帮助计算在7月1日之后需要为员工和符合条件的承包商支付的养老金金额: 参考:ATO网站 如需进一步信息,请联系Wiselink会计师事务所
