实务更新(2024.7)

ATO的“主要居所豁免提示” 在纳税人出售其居住过的房产时,需考虑主要居所豁免。在这方面,ATO提供以下提示: 提醒2024年6月季度的养老金担保(SG) 提醒雇主,2024年4月1日至2024年6月30日季度的员工养老金缴款必须在2024年7月28日(星期日)之前收到相关养老金基金,以避免需要支付SG罚款。 医疗保险税豁免数据匹配计划通知 ATO将从Services Australia获取2024年至2026年收入年度的医疗保险豁免声明数据,包括个人的全名、出生日期、居住地址、资格状态和批准的资格详情。 该计划的目标是确保个人正确申报免缴医疗保险税和医疗保险附加税。 家庭信托选举和中间实体选举 家庭信托分配税(FTDT)是一种特殊的47%税率,有时由受托人、董事或合伙人支付。当信托已进行家庭信托选举(FTE)或实体已进行中间实体选举(IEE),并且在选举中指定个人的“家庭组”(如定义)之外进行分配时,适用此税。 当受托人或其他实体进行此类选举时,必须以批准的形式保留原始选举。FTE和IEE可向ATO提交。 涉及选举时,纳税人应每年考虑以下事项: 在进行年度受托人决议时,了解指定个人的家庭组成员是谁非常重要,因为在家庭组之外进行分配将导致47%的FTDT。 ATO可能取消不活跃的ABN ATO定期审查并有时取消不活跃的澳大利亚商业号码(ABNs)。如果纳税人在其纳税申报表中未报告业务活动,或在其他申报或第三方信息中没有业务活动迹象,ATO可能会审查纳税人的ABN。 免税收入组织的新申报义务 拥有有效ABN的非慈善非营利组织(NFPs),包括社区服务组织,需要提交年度NFP自我审查申报表,以通知其所得税豁免资格。 要符合自我评估为所得税豁免的资格,组织的主要目的一定是社区服务目的。任何其他目的必须是附带的、辅助的或次要的。 社区服务目的具有利他主义,这意味着组织必须为他人的福祉和利益而设立和运作,而不是为政治或游说目的。 例如,一个主要为改善社区福利而设立的俱乐部或协会将被视为社区服务组织。然而,如果其主要目的是推进成员的专业利益,则不适用。 纳税人可申请CGT小企业减免 请注意:本出版物中的许多评论具有一般性质,任何有意将信息应用于实际情况的人士应寻求专业建议,以独立验证其解释及信息在其特定情况中的适用性。 如果您需要更多信息,请联系Wiselink会计师事务所
