Hi,
If I am running a business and cancel my GST registration mid-year, what income & deductions are reported in tax return?  
GST exclusive up to point of cancellation? Thanks :)

你好， 我想问出租房的问题：我的房子10年左右， 最近打算出租，那么这个房子的depreciation 是否可以用于年底保税的抵扣。 如果可以， 是不是还需要找专业的人士评估房价， 然后找ACCOUNTANT 做depreciation plan?
非常感谢！

yes, but there will normally be some adjustments as a result of gst cancellation, especially in relation to capital assets that you have claimed gst on.

Hi. I'm interested in investing in NZ, mainly property. What tax implication does it involve in investing in NZ for an Australian PR? Do I only pay NZ tax or both NZ and AUS tax? Thank you!

NZ is free from capital gain tax, unfortunately, if you are australian tax resident, your global capital gain will be captured under the australian tax system.

Thank you for your reply. If this is the case, does it mean I'll have to pay tax on rental income as well? Or I will only need to pay tax when I sell NZ property?

Hi.

If I buy a computer before I register my small business, can I make the computer as a deduction when applying the tax return?

you will pay tax on rental income in NZ, but you will get tax credits for the NZ tax you paid, therefore you still need to declare the NZ rent in your aus tax return, and also report the tax credits you have

如果投资的是老房子,比如20年了,那么他的折旧是根据当年的造价来的还是现在的评估价值?如果是现在的评估价值,那么是根据现在什么做基准呢?
谢谢!

Hi, 20 years is not actually "old" the depreciation is based on the current status of the house. a quantity surveyor needs to do a onsite survey to determine the residual value of the property. if you need assistance,i can arrange a depreciation report for you.

一夫妇 在西区有一套自住房，老婆孩子就近工作和上学，这应该是他们的MAIN residential property

可老公的工作在东区大学里做教授，天天跑，累，所以老公在东区大学附近又买了一套房，他是星期一到星期五就住在东区的住房里， 这也是他的MAIN residential property 。 然后每个周末就回到 西区的住房里，所以这二套房是否理论上都应该是他们的 MAIN residential property 。 注：2套房都是自己住，没有出租过。

请问 楼主当他们把2套房同时出售时是否都可以免CGT 。因为都是MAIN residential property  ？

No, that is not possible, in situations like this, you can do it on apportion basis, i.e 50-50, or nominate one as principle residence. (most people decide at the time they sale one of the property)

Hi,
If I rent a whole house and then rent out some of the rooms, do I need to declare the rental income? If so, what deductions can I claim? Thanks.

请问一下，店主交的council rate，council没有charge GST，
但是中介收钱的时候charge我GST。这样对吗？

怎么知道他们拿了的GST是上交到政府还是放到自己腰包里呢？

The reason that they are charging you GST is that they are providing you a service by paid on your behalf and then reimburse from you.
the GST you paid can be claimed back assuming you are registered, they should be paying the GST collected back to the ATO, however, it is not of your concern in this case. you are paying the same amount out of pocket regardless.

ＬＺ真是热心人．

请问ＬＺ，我们０６年买的自住房，当时贷款２８万，第一年是利息加本金的偿还方式，中间多还了一万五的本金，第二年选择有ＯＦＦＳＥＴ功能只付利息的贷款方式，同时ＲＥＦＩＮＡＮＣＥ到３０万，最近准备买一个ＨＯＵＳＥ，以前的自住房作为投资房．那么：

１．如果自住房转为投资房，利息按多少可以抵税呢？３０万的还是其他的？
２．由于买的是ＡＰＰＡＲＴＭＥＮＴ，０８年底的时候整个大楼都被要求换窗户，总共花了大概七八千吧．如果作为投资房，我们是否可以将这笔费用作为ＷＯＲＫＩＮＧ　ＣＡＰＩＴＡＬ来计提折旧？
３．如果我还住现在的房子，同时ＨＯＭＥＬＯＡＮ进行ＴＯＰＵＰ到４０万，那么多少钱可以作为另买一个投资房的首付１００％抵税呢？

问题比较麻烦．谢谢你了．如果可能，我们真想亲自上门咨询一下，然后再进行充分的准备．ＰＭ，咨询要收多少费用呢？

我去年四月时报07-08的税，应该退回预扣的upfront。当时我的会计说ATO会寄支票给我的，但至今我还没有收到。
我催了会计几次，但他都没有回音，他是我的brother-in-law，所以我都不好意思再说。如果我自己打电话去ATO问，需要准备什么信息？我可以自己问吗？

yes, you can ask the ATO yourself, 8 months is a very longgg time to be waiting for tax refund. all you need to have ready is your full name, address, TFN, DOB, so the ATO can verify your identify before disclosing any information

谢谢你了。对不起我昨天没说清楚，这个是公司报税，想要查询，需要的提供的信息也一样？
