能老公给老婆发工资避税吗

老公全职，高档30%税（这里只要是个人工作都是高档30%税）

老婆全职，不过是全职太太，无收入，照顾两只娃，无helper。

这种情况能够老公给老婆发工资，作为家务等劳动报酬（行房报酬就免了 ^-^），做书面记录，每月打到老婆的卡上，年终避税吗？

如果可行，因为老婆没其他工作收入，家务劳动报酬收入按低档税率计算，明年起1.8w以下还是免税，能退税不少。

如果可行，需要老公申请ABN吗？

希望万能的足迹，特别是做过退税的专家们给点建议。建议最好是有ATO的文件，或实际案例（或成功退税，或被ATO challenge）为证据。如果只是自己猜想的，也欢迎拿出来讨论。

按照我的会计说法这个方法从今年开始似乎不可行了。

但是不知道有ABN会不会不一样，还是要有company  number.

不可以的。除非老公是公司老板，名义上雇佣老婆在公司做工。

那你老公给你发的工资能当他的expense吗? 他要是公司老板算是请你打扫office？

你给你老婆开的工资是不能用来抵销你full time工作交的income tax，两边的税务是分开算得，最后的结果就是你ABN这边因为是lost所以不用补税，full time工作那边正常打税，ABN这边的lost不能deduct到你full time工作那边去

This question has been asked over and over again. Generally you can't simply pay your spouse "Salary" to reduce income tax. However, you may use associate lease as a tool:

1. the associate (spouse, parent, family trust) registers an ABN;
2. if owned vehicle, or if new car to lease or purchase, must be under associate name,
3. sign an associate lease agreement amongst employer, spouse and you.
4. Employer aranges salary deduction, adds on GST, pays to the associate's account(could be your account if stated as agent)
5. Associate needs to include the lease payments as income, but may claim deduction and depreciation.

Hence, you legally paying the associate, not as "salary" though. Quite effective and normally you can pay over $15,000 based on the lease term.
