网上避税手段日益猖獗:获取信息来保护自己免受非法税收计划的侵害

一些潜在的可疑税收计划正在网上进行推广,并在人们最意想不到的时候提供给他们。 我们敦促个人和企业警惕网上(包括社交媒体)宣传的税务计划,这些计划承诺大幅减税或避税。参与其中可能会受到严厉处罚。 我们的网站列出了我们关注的税收欺诈行为的例子。最近,我们发现一个非法税收欺诈行为鼓励人们通过设立所谓的非营利基金会来逃税在新窗口中打开并组织他们的财务,使他们的收入看起来就像是属于它的。 另一项近期计划为潜在投资者提供投资机会,投资一家据称符合早期创新公司资格的初创公司,从而享受相关税收抵免。我们担心投资者不符合这一资格。 此类骗局可能会引诱诚实的人,而这些人并不完全了解自己在做什么。参与其中是有风险的。 发现非法税收计划的发起人并采取行动是我们的避税特别工作组 (TAT) 的首要任务。TAT 行动的最近一个例子是联邦法院对我们调查的研发计划发起人处以 1360 万美元的罚款。 不要落入推广者圈套

Online tax schemes on the rise: Get the information to protect yourself from unlawful tax schemes.

Potentially dodgy tax schemes are being promoted online and offered to people when they least expect it. We’re urging individuals and businesses to be wary of tax schemes promoted online (including via social media) promising to significantly reduce or avoid tax. Getting involved can attract heavy penalties. Our website lists examples of tax schemes we are concerned about. Recently, we’ve seen one unlawful tax scheme encouraging people to dodge their taxes by setting up a purported not-for-profit foundationOpens in a new window and organising their finances to look like their income belongs to it. Another recent scheme offers would-be investors the opportunity to invest into a start-up that allegedly qualifies as an early stage innovation company, to benefit from the associated tax offset. We’re concerned investors won’t qualify[…]

Foreign Residents and Capital Gains Tax on Australian Property: What You Need to Know

If you’re a foreign resident disposing of taxable Australian property (TAP), it’s essential to understand your tax obligations under Australian tax law. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) closely monitors these transactions, and failure to meet your requirements can lead to scrutiny and potential penalties. Here’s what you need to know: What is Capital Gain Tax Capital Gains Tax (CGT) applies to the profit you make when selling or disposing of assets like property, shares, or cryptocurrency.

Withdrawal and contribution due to divorce not considered ‘special circumstances’ regarding excess super contributions

In a recent decision, the AAT rejected a taxpayer’s claim that there were ‘special circumstances’, that warranted an excess contributions determination to disregard or re-allocate an excess contribution. Facts In October 2018 the taxpayer separated from his wife. As at 30 June 2019, the taxpayer’s total superannuation balance was recorded at just over $1,820,000, held in separate funds. In April 2020, as part of the taxpayer’s divorce proceedings, the sum of $1,575,000 was withdrawn from one of the taxpayer’s superannuation funds and paid to the benefit of his former wife. This had the effect of reducing the taxpayer’s member’s account balance in that fund as at 30 June 2020 by an amount of $427,497. On 18 June 2020, the taxpayer[…]

离婚导致的提款和缴款不被视为超额超级缴款的“特殊情况”

在最近的一项裁决中,AAT 驳回了纳税人的主张,即存在“特殊情况”,需要作出超额缴款裁定,以忽略或重新分配超额缴款。 事实 2018 年 10 月,纳税人与妻子分居。截至 2019 年 6 月 30 日,纳税人的总养老金余额记录为略高于 1,820,000 澳元,存放在单独的基金中。 2020 年 4 月,作为纳税人离婚程序的一部分,从纳税人的一个养老金基金中提取了 1,575,000 澳元,并支付给他前妻。这导致纳税人截至 2020 年 6 月 30 日在该基金中的会员账户余额减少了 427,497 澳元。 2020 年 6 月 18 日,纳税人做出了 100,000 澳元的非优惠性供款,因为他的养老金总余额(支付给前妻后)为 1,389,272 澳元(即在 2020 收入年度结束时低于 1,400,000 澳元)。但是,根据 1997 年 ITAA 第 292-85(2) 条,纳税人在截至 2020 年 6 月 30 日的财政年度的非优惠性供款上限为零,因为在该财政年度开始之前,他的养老金总余额超过了该年度的一般转移余额 1,600,000 澳元。 ATO 随后要求纳税人承担 47,000 澳元的超额非优惠性供款税。纳税人随后根据 1997 年 ITAA 第 292-465 条向 ATO 寻求裁定,以忽略或重新分配该捐款。ATO 拒绝了这一请求,纳税人随后向 AAT 提出上诉。 决定 AAT 考虑的基本问题是是否存在 S.292-465(3) 中定义的 “特殊情况” ,这将允许 ATO 做出将 100,000 美元的非优惠性捐款分配给另一个财政年度的决定。 AAT 得出结论,纳税人对法律运作方式的错误信念并不构成 S.292-465(3) 含义内的“特殊情况”。 在这方面,AAT 指出,“如果申请人……仔细阅读了 ITAA (1997) 的规定……特别是 S.292-85(2) 对他的情况的影响……他应该很容易明白,他案件中有关财政年度的非优惠上限为零。这是因为他欣然承认了自己犯了一个诚实的错误。尽管如此,AAT 不能得出结论,认为这种诚实的错误可以提升到 ITAA (1997) S.292-465(3)(a) 所定义的‘特殊情况’的地位。” 参考:BVZH v FCT [2024] AATA 3618 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TD 2024/8 — 2024/25 收入年度从库存中取出用于私人用途的商品价值 本决定规定了税务专员将接受的 2024/25 年度金额,作为某些特定行业纳税人从贸易库存中取出用于私人用途的商品价值的估计值(尽管 ATO 承认在特定情况下可能适合更大或更小的价值)。这些金额(不包括 GST)为: 业务类型 成人/16 岁以上儿童的金额[…]
