企业与个人纳税人须知的最新ATO合规动态

随着本财年接近尾声,澳大利亚税务局(ATO)发布了多项重要更新与提醒,内容涉及个人纳税人、小型企业主及网约车服务提供者。本期要点涵盖了工作相关支出的扣除规定、合规义务、即时资产扣除政策,以及关于退休金提取年龄的澄清。以下为重点内容摘要: ATO驳回“离谱”工作支出扣除申报 ATO指出,近期部分纳税人试图将日常私人消费错误申报为工作相关支出,具体案例包括: 以上申报均被拒绝,因其本质属于私人用途。ATO重申,任何扣除申报必须与收入获取直接相关,并具备相应的记录支持 2024/25年度 2万澳元即时资产扣除政策 年营业额不超过1,000万澳元并采用简化折旧规则的小型企业,可立即扣除每项低于2万澳元的合资格资产的全额成本。关键要点如下: 该政策旨在提升小型企业现金流,简化资本支出报告流程。企业需保留采购凭证,并仅就商业用途部分进行申报。 网约车与交通服务提供者的GST义务 ATO提醒所有提供出租车、豪华车及网约车(如Uber、DiDi)服务的经营者:无论营业额高低,均需强制注册商品及服务税(GST)。相关义务包括: 未按规定注册或申报的,将面临罚款与利息等处罚。 创业人士需关注的七项重点事项 ATO为新企业主发布了“七项重点提醒”,包括: 关于退休金提取年龄的澄清说明 鉴于近期网络上出现大量关于退休金政策的虚假信息,ATO已明确表示:退休金的最早提取年龄未发生变更。对于1964年7月1日及之后出生的个人,其最早可提取养老金的年龄仍为60岁。 ATO提醒公众,应通过权威官方渠道核实相关政策变更,必要时寻求合资格专业人士的指导。 因严重经济困难获部分减免税务债务的案例 在一项由行政复审法庭(ART)作出的最新裁决中,一名累计税务欠款超过52.8万澳元的纳税人,因严重经济困难获准减免部分债务。该债务主要源自其因工受伤后连续多年领取的应税收入保障保险金。 尽管该纳税人存在不良合规记录,ART仍考虑到其经济状况、健康问题及还款能力,决定将应缴税款减至25万澳元。 该案例说明,面对复杂的税务压力,及早寻求专业支持至关重要。 参考: 澳大利亚税务局网站 如果您需要更多信息, 请联系信元会计师事务所
