How to claim deductions for temporary full expensing

The ATO has recently provided information to assist taxpayers in working out how to claim deductions under temporary full expensing when they lodge their tax return

If the taxpayer’s income years end on 30 June, deductions under temporary full expensing are only available in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 income years. They can claim the temporary full expensing deduction in their tax return for the relevant income year by completing the extra labels included in the tax return.


Taxpayers can choose to opt out of temporary full expensing for an income year for some or all of their assets and claim a deduction using other depreciation rules. However, they must notify the ATO in their tax return that they have chosen not to apply temporary full expensing to the asset.


Taxpayers can’t change their choice, and they must notify the ATO by the day they lodge their tax return for the income year to which the choice relates.


Information given in the extra labels included in the tax return about the taxpayer’s eligibility and their claim will assist the ATO in administering the temporary full expensing measure, as well as inform future services and initiatives for business.


The information that the taxpayer will need to provide on the extra labels in the tax return
includes:

  • whether the taxpayer is making a choice to opt out of temporary full expensing for some or all of their eligible assets;
  • the number of assets they are opting out for (if applicable);
  • the cost of assets they are opting out for (if applicable);
  • the total amount of their temporary full expensing deduction;
  • the number of assets they are claiming temporary full expensing for;
  • whether they are using the alternative income test (corporate entities); and
  • their aggregated turnover.

Taxpayers can use the temporary full expensing tax return label guide to help identify which labels they will need to complete in their tax return, to ensure they correctly claim or opt out of the temporary full expensing measure.
Further information can be found by accessing Temporary full expensing on the ATO’s website.

自我管理养老金基金(SMSF)的 PAYG 分期付款管理指南

1. SMSF 的 PAYG 分期付款是什么? 自我管理养老金基金(SMSF)的即付即扣(PAYG)分期付款制度要求受托人在收入年度内定期预缴基金业务及投资收入的预期税款。实际税负在年度结束时通过所得税申报评估确定,全年支付的 PAYG 款项将用于抵扣评估税额,以明确是否需补税或退税。 2. 哪些人需支付 PAYG 分期付款? 澳大利亚税务局(ATO)会根据纳税人上一份所得税申报表信息,通知需缴纳 PAYG 分期付款的实体或个人(如 SMSF 受托人)。产生业务及投资收入的 SMSF 通常需遵守该制度,但新成立的 SMSF 首年无需支付 PAYG。首年结束时,需通过年度申报完成一次性税款缴纳(或退税),此后 SMSF 进入 PAYG 系统,后续分期付款基于前一年税单计算。 3.

The ATO will contact entities and individuals (in this case, SMSF trustees) who are required to pay PAYG instalments.[…]
