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？

i assume you are the company's director, have your company details ready, company tfn, business address etc etc.
give the ATO a call and find out, they will disclose the information once they have verified your identity

Hi David,
I have a property (totally paid off) in China as an investment (tenant living there and paying rent directly to my Bank account of China). I was told I can claim once per year for my return flight ticket to China and other expenses (hotels, taxi during travelling in China). I never did as I dont know what the procedure is. what sort of doc I need when I claim?

Thank you very much if u can take time to answer.

Cheers
Ivan

Assuming you (tax resident) are declaring your chinese rental property income here in Australia (as required by law). your travel costs back to china is deductible against this income if the primary purpose of the visit is for inspection/repair/renovation. However, if your trip is for a extended period of time, it is difficult to justify your claim solely based on the reason of property inspection, you may have to apportion your costs on a reasonable basis (i.e separate between private and income producing).
if you are declaring more travel costs than your chinese rental income (hence creating a negative gearing property), your tax return will be likely to attract an audit, as the costs may seem to be unreasonable in the eyes of the tax office.

请问和工作直接相关的自费海外培训和考试能不能退税？有些IT培训澳洲太贵了，我想乘回中国的时候培训考试，能不能退税？ （当然我查到在非洲那些国家费用比中国还低.....)

我有个同事到美国去参加微软的一个conference，据说是把机票和conference这几天的吃住开销退税了。

The primary purpose of the trip must be for training, imagine, if the trip is for 10 days and the conference is only the first day, the rest 9 days is for holiday, it is hard to argue the trip is for the purpose of IT training, (at best you can only apportion the cost by 1:9). however, let's take an example of a 1 week trip, where the training session is through out the week or at first day and last day of the week. then it is more likely for you to successfully claim the associated travel costs. hope that helps.

多谢
如果我回中国去参加培训的话，能把培训费都退税就很感谢ATO了。机票能退多少算多少。
同样一门培训，澳洲$58xx，还要加GST。中国￥13655，在非洲800 USD，就算加上机票，出国培训还是省，其实也算帮ATO省钱了。

Thanks David, obviously the rental income from my property in china is just a little bit more than my flight ticket and hotel expense. and the main reason to travel back to china is to collect my rent once a year, plus visiting my parents. do u reckon I should just leave it as it or I should start declare my income from china. If so, what sort of document i need to present to ATO when I am doing my tax.
as u know all the paper doc of my property and rent are in Chinese, do i need to get the certified into English? thanks

shuangchao

As a tax agent, i can't tell you not to declare those incomes, however, you can call me if you want to discuss more about your personal tax matters.

楼主，请问如果在报员工的TFN时漏报了一位员工, 但是她在此工作的super已交,Tax也已经withhold了。现在这位员工已经离开了，我如何将她的信息报上去呢？现在报后果会很严重么？
还有一个问题，我寄过去的Form如何知道ATO已经收到呢？我寄了表格约两个月了，是不是要打电话去查他们是否收到我报上去的信息呢？麻烦了，谢谢。

The TFN declaration serves as a data matching mechanism as well as enable the employer to withheld correctly. in your case, the ATO will requires you to still complete a TFN declaration form without employee's signiture as much as possible and forward it to them, even though the employee has resign/or unable to be located. The year end payment summary forms will also help notify the ATO that this individual is your employee.
You can certainly telephone them and confirm receipts of the forms.

没有啊。我现在full time study, part time working.
老板说他可以给我出证明，说我去学习是为了提升工作技能。
这样是不是可以在tax return的时候把学费和书本费都claim回来一些？？

Yes, the fact that your boss recommended you to do the mba studies, is one evidence that the course will improve your skill at work, or lead to a pay raise. which lets you claim the education expenses associated with the course.

Hi there,

I am currently owning a 2bedroom apt but renting out 1 room, how/if does CGT apply to me once this property is sold?  BTW, because of considering it as a 1/2 investment property, I have claimed negative rental income for several years to benefit my tax return.

I guess I may claim an exemption from CGT because 1,The property has been my main residence. 2,The Australian Government has a 6 year rule with regards to CGT, which means as long as I don't have the second property I can continue to claim an exemption from CGT for up to 6 years even If I move out of the property and rent it out entirely.

Please let me know if you agree; Thank you in advance

Sorry, i don't agree, the rules as you said, applies when you are renting somewhere else, the fact that you live in the house and use part of it for income producing purposes, will cause you to lose part of the main residence exemption.

你好，帮朋友问一下，
1：如果买了一套房子，自己住了一年，然后出租了半年然后卖掉， 是不是就不用交增值税？（目前只有一套房子。房主自己另外租房住。）
2：如果出租了一年或以上卖掉是不是就要交增值税了？如果是这样，那如果出租那一年没有报税，是不是就不用交了？（不过他们是签了私人合同的，因为房客要去申请房屋补助，我想如果这样是不是就逃不掉一定要报税了是么？其实报税也是负的，只是不想报了以后要交增值税而已。）那到底要不要报呢？请指点。谢谢。

你好，我想问下我自己房子的税务。

1。 我在这里买的房子（自住） 。 现在1年半了。我们准备回国。房子给中介。 每月我们一样的还贷款。 但租金差不多能还利息（本金除外）。 中介有的建议我们把房子改成invest proporty.然后抱税。 有的有说不用改因为我们的收入低于房贷。用negetive gear什么的。不用保税？ 想这种一般你们是怎么建议的？ 谢谢。（我们应该会出租几年然后卖掉房子）

2。如果真的要报怎么个报法？ 我们都在中国了。到那时。以前学过oversea 91天就不算澳洲的人了，也不用报税？那到时我们过来看我的房子，想你之前说的。我能claim fight fee and hotel fee吗？谢谢~！

1. there is a six year rule you can rely on, simply put, if the owner has lived in the house for 1 year, then moved somewhere else and rented another house. the original house remains as his sole property, there will be no CGT consquences when he sales 6 months after he moves out
2. No. If you move out of the property and rent it out, you can continue to claim an exemption from CGT for up to six years after you move out.
you may contact me for further information

1. You always have to lodge a tax return as your australian property will become a rental property, lodging a tax return does not mean you need to pay tax. Assuming you are going back to china for a extended period of time (live/work), then the only thing that will appear on your australian tax return is your rental property, there will be no tax to pay as interest and other expenses is more than the rental income
2. i have alot of clients who are in this situation, i can assist you with all future tax return lodgement, feel free to contact me.

意思是如果搬走6个月以后才卖掉就要交？6个月以内卖掉就不要交？是以合同日期为准么？

sorry that was a typo, i meant six years. once a property becomes your primary residence, and you moved out to RENT somewhere else, you can maintain the primary residency exempt for up to six years. in other works, no CGT applys
