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.
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。
「自管养老金能不能借钱买套房」这个问题的答案在 2026 年 8 月 10 日变了:当天或之后订立、用于购买不动产的 LRBA,只能用来取得 business real property。本文按 ATO 官方规则讲清 LRBA 本来是什么、这次改了哪一半、什么算商业不动产、8 月 10 日之前已签合同或已订立 LRBA 的怎么办,以及想让基金持有住宅房的人还剩哪条路。
TPAR 报的不是你赚了多少,是你付给承包商多少,截止日每年 8 月 28 日,今年只剩几天。它命中的五类服务恰好是华人小生意最密集的几块:建筑装修、清洁、快递货运、IT、保安监控。本文按 ATO 官方规则讲清谁必须报、10% 门槛怎么算、餐馆通过配送公司送餐为什么可能也要报、哪些付款不用写进去,以及迟交为什么没有「零结果免罚」这把保护伞。
发现 BAS 报错,第一反应通常是「把上一期改回来」,但 ATO 给的顺序恰好相反:先看能不能在下一期还没交的 BAS 上顺手更正,因为修订原来那一期可能带来罚款和利息。本文按 ATO 官方规则讲清多报与少报两类错误的分野、少报那一类卡住的 18 个月时限与 12,500 澳元限额、三种不能在下一期改的情形,以及 2026 年 GIC 不再可抵扣之后代价有什么变化。
Compliance reports the year that closed. Planning shapes the one that started on 1 July, and six weeks of it are already gone. A worked example on the instant asset write-off, a 10-point check you can score yourself, the point in the year each conversation should happen, and three questions to put to your current accountant.
「爸妈从国内汇了一笔钱过来,我要交税吗?」多数情况下不用,但前提跟金额和笔数都无关。本文按 ATO 官方规则讲清三件事:为什么一笔汇款本身不是收入、亲属赠与的例外条款写在哪里、以及真正决定申报范围的四项税务居民判定测试。另附临时签证持有人的单独规则、四类必须申报的海外收益、四个反复出现的误解,以及钱到账当天就该留好的记录清单。
If you worked in Australia on a temporary visa, there is super sitting in a fund with your name on it. You can claim it after you leave, but the ATO withholds 35% or 65% of the taxable component, and which rate applies depends on whether you ever held a working holiday maker visa. This guide covers the eligibility conditions, the DASP tax rate table, the six-month rule that moves your money to the ATO, and what to do before you fly.
「满 60 岁就能取自管养老金了吧?」通常还不行。ATO 把这件事拆成两半:到了保留年龄,并且满足一个「释放条件」,两半都成立,钱才能合法离开基金。本文按 ATO 官方规则讲清保留年龄表、四条释放条件、ATO 对「退休」的两档定义、一次性提取与养老金流的差别、60 岁及以上的预扣税率,以及提前取钱在成员端与受托人端各自的后果。
