May澳大利亚政府警告“恶意”MyGov骗子 澳大利亚政府表示，ATO或MyGov永远不会发送带有登录MyGov链接的电子邮件或短信。国税局收到了大量关于骗子使用虚假的MyGov网站窃取MyGov登录详细信息的报告，这些信息可用于以他人名义实施税务和退款欺诈。这些罪犯通常会使用短信或电子邮件引诱人们点击链接，使用诸如“您将收到ATO直接退款”或“您的MyGov收件箱中有新消息-点击此处查看”之类的短语。 政府敦促澳大利亚人警惕那些以国税局登录详细信息为目标实施税务欺诈的骗子。 去年，澳大利亚税务局推出了新的欺诈控制措施，以帮助保护澳大利亚人免受网络身份盗窃。这包括在MyGov帐户的登录过程中使用MyGovID来加强安全性，使犯罪分子更难访问。 国税局警告纳税人，提前使用Super是非法的这对超级会员有重大影响。 超级基金应提醒会员，超级基金是用于退休的。会员需要满足非常严格的条件才能提前访问他们的超级会员，而在这些严格条件之外访问他们的超会员是非法的。 然而，面对艰难时期，有些人可能会考虑尽早访问他们的网站。 纳税人可能已经被某人（“发起人”）联系过，声称超级基金的成员可以提取他们的超级基金，或者使用SMSF来偿还债务、买车或支付假期费用。如果推广人让会员向他们提供足够的个人信息，他们也可能窃取自己的身份，并用它来访问自己的超级用户。 非法提前使用super可能会对会员的退休储蓄产生重大影响。导致额外的税收、罚款和利息，并导致会员被取消再次成为SMSF受托人的资格。当受托人被取消资格时，他们的名字会被公布，这可能会影响他们的个人和职业声誉。 澳大利亚SFCT警告使用虚假发票安排的企业 “他们将被抓住，面临法律的全面制裁。” 严重金融犯罪特别工作组（“FCT”）警告企业不要使用“虚假发票”等非法金融安排来欺骗税收和超级系统。 虚假发票安排可能包括以下内容： 实体（“发起人”）向合法企业开具发票，但未提供任何商品或服务； 企业通过支票或直接转账的方式支付发票，发起人将支付给企业所有者的大部分金额作为现金退还； 发起人保留少量佣金； 然后，该企业从虚假发票中非法申请扣除额和商品及服务税进项税额抵免；和 企业主将收到的现金用于私人目的或向工人支付现金工资，并且没有在纳税申报单中正确报告金额。 参考：ATO网站 如果您需要更多信息，请联系Wiselink会计师事务所

MarLoans to members continue to be the highest reported contravention of the superannuation laws that the ATO sees in auditor contravention reports. SMSF trustees should remember that they cannot loan money or provide other forms of financial assistance to a member or relative, and if they do, they can incur a penalty of up to $18,780. They may also be disqualified as a trustee. SMSF trustees also cannot loan money to a related party, such as a business, where the value of the loan exceeds 5% of the value of the fund’s total assets, as this is a prohibited ‘in-house asset’ investment.
