配偶抵税的问题

globete

如果配偶在国内,还在等待移民签证,那么不属于居民,那是否可以报抵税?

看ATO官方网站有2个地方比较矛盾.
1. Who is eligible to claim the dependent spouse tax offset?
You are eligible to claim a dependent spouse tax offset for any period in 2008–09 that you had a spouse and you met all these conditions:

your spouse was a resident – if you are unsure, read Residency - overview

但是后面有个条款又是
http://www.ato.gov.au/individual ... =/content/19187.htm
Did you have dependants waiting to migrate to Australia?

If your spouse and dependent children were overseas in 2008–09, we will consider them to be your dependants for tax offset purposes if you were taking the steps necessary for their migration in a timely manner.

我觉得是可以的
第一条是针对一般的dependent的定义
后者是针对正在等签证来澳洲的spouse的特定条款。

yes you can, if you soort them financially

我也遇到这个问题，如果楼上两位说可以的话，后面还有问题问become  Australian resident for tax purposes 的时间，该怎么填呢？谢谢

我觉得是从你spouse开始申请澳洲签证那天起。

只要你是税务居民就可以了,而且在这个期间你们一直是配偶, 即使她在海外也是可以的,

globete

那ATO官方网站.不是要求配偶也是税务居民吗?

详细见官网.

well, this is not 100% correct, you must have taken step to have them migrate to Australia during the year.

David, 那么时间是从申请配偶签证的时间算起呢还是从结婚的时间算起？

icebear

去年的错误今年可以补回来吗？我去年只报了夫人来的几个月，实际上应该和我来澳洲的时间一样长老报税！请问David我的理解正确吗？

可以改去年的Tax Return，不过估计要找会计师做，一般来说可以改过去2年的return，以Notice of assessment上的日期为准

The dependent spouse tax offset can be given for the period the taxpayer's dependent spouse is waiting to migrate, up to maximum of 5 years from the date the taxpayer came to live permanently in Australia.
只要能证明配偶在未来5年内会拿到永居签证，楼主就能拿到spouse tax offset.
关键是要有：
1. evidence of arrangements for the migration of dependant spouse (是否递交申请与此无关，只要能证明几经开始准备申请材料即可）
2. the expected date of arrival of dependent spouse（从今年起，5年内会拿到签证并到澳洲居住）
楼主尽可加上spouse tax offset, 万一被ATO询问就说正在准备申请材料，不会有什么问题的。本人在H&R Block 做tax consultant 三年了，碰到过很多这样的case。对ATO 来说，这也是common situation 了，他们一般也不会查这个。

好象不对吧.在填表的时候要求你填在澳洲呆的具体时间.你在国内,不能算的.

小茉莉

可以
刚来的时候我找会计帮忙退税
会计把我在国内等签证的日子也算在内了

TAXATION里學過，印象記得可以抵的很少吧。 100塊還是多少。

而且申報SPOUSE后以後對其它東西的你的要求會提高。比如說做經濟擔保之類的， SINGLE的人做擔保人需要的收入要求比夫妻或是有同居關係的要低。因為覺得如果不是單身，你會要養兩個人的緣故，經濟負擔比較重。
