The Taxman is watching

The Taxman is watching --Sundary Herald Sun
what the taxman knows about you :
1. your PAYG summary
2. Centrelink payment received
3. your private health fund details
4. Bank account interest earned
5. Any share dividends you received
6. any payment from managed super funds
7. any payments from property trust

WHAT THE TAXMAN IS WATCHING  FOR:
1. If you sold a rental property this year
2. if you bought and sold shares
3. if you received shares as part of your salary
4. if you bought a lusury car your income doesn't justify
5. if you claimed large donations to charity

Taxpayers trying to hide income maybe in for a shock after the Australia Taxation Office rolls out its new wideranging surveillance regimen.
Records from stock exchanges, land title offices, real estate listing sites, luxury car dealers and VIc ROADS ARE EXCEPTED TO EXPOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX FRAUD.

Big brother...

can I claim the money I donated to Sicuan earthquake?

jialiren

严格来讲好像要donated to RED CROSS 有收据给你的才可以
I think u can! --我个人觉得你可以claim-- 如果金额不是很大--何况事实上是真实donation
我是寄支票给中国领馆的 for earthquake relife，领馆给了我一个收据.  我也想在今年TAX RETURN 是claim。
这个坛子里有很多专业的会计高手--希望听那些老大给俺们解释。

I donated cash to the donation box in my company. no receipt.

澳洲TAX OFFICE 是以信任为前提的，你自己看着办啦。
donate的就claim， 只要不是太UNREASONABLE

年年都在报税时节喊捉贼, I DOUBT THE TAX OFFICE HAS THE ABILITY TO DO SO, such warning is more alarming to very rich millionaires, not 小虾米 like us la.

不过遵纪守法向来是俺们的准则, 讨厌这种吓唬方式.

黑山老妖

donation就要看着办了。
比如去教会的捐款都是没有收据的。。。
只要不是太夸张应该没问题。

从明年起，tax和澳洲的金融犯罪稽查部门（本来是主要反恐的）要联网。。对普通老百姓进行查税。埃！
