请问David，如果我想把几个公司合并成一个consolidated group，应该如何决定子公司的market value？如果当前子公司的账面显示为负资产，我可不可以说，market value为正资产，因为公司前景很好。在工作中遇到这个问题，困扰了我一段时间。先谢了。

请问lz，如果一年内有部分时间可以claim spouse offset，其余时间领ftb part B，那评估你能领多少spouse offset的地方，填adjustable income是全年的收入呢，还是不能领ftb那部分时间的收入呢？谢谢

请问lz:
俺去年只在农场临时工作了3个月，收入微薄，自己退税如何能做的100%退回？以前都是自己退，收入也属于低的范围，可没有一次是全额返税的，据说一定要找会计，才能做得到，是这样么？
多谢解答！

No, you dont' have to do it from tax agent to get all the tax back, maybe the reason you are not getting all the deductions back is because you are not familiar with all the deductions available to you.
good tax agent can maximize your refund and not get you into trouble with the ATO.

hi, footy, i am little confused by your question, are you talking about preparing a set of consolidated accounts? or asking about how to change the subsidiary account to make it look better

请问公司给的股票买入折扣要计入当年收入一起报税吗？本财年只进行了买入，没有进行卖出。

are you talking about employee share scheme? i.e share given by your own company. you can make election to get taxed upfront or defer the tax till later.
if you are talking about buying shares off the market, then no, there is no tax consequence with purchases only

据说今年的政策变了，当年买入的折扣股票，折扣要算作当年的应课税收入了。楼主要是能用中文给解释明白一些就更好了，不过谢谢啦。

Hi Chats, i am happy to help you, but ESS is an complex area, i can writes pages and pages of advise on it without actually help you.
my recommendation would be for you to contact me give me specific details of your discount scheme/Employee shares, i probably can explain to you much better over the phone, and in Mandarin too.

Hi David,

Just want to ask, I bought and sold shares during this FY around 40 times. but no share is holding for one year and I didn't get any dividend. Am I a share trader or investor? what is the difference for the two?

i need to know more to give you an exact determination, however, there is a good chance that you are a share trader.
the main difference is that
revenue is treated on capital account with share investor - capital gain concession available
revenue is treated on profit account with share trader - no concessions available
from tax perspective, i would prefer revenue on capital account with losses from shares on profit account (which can potential offset against your other income)
there is fact sheet available explaining difference between share investor/trader on the ATO website, i suggest you have a read.

Hey David,
First time posting question here, thanks for ur help in advance.
Okay, right now I'm a uni student ( Australian Citizen) and I do earn some income from 2 of my part time work.

At uni i study (accounting, finance and some other arts course) and one of my part time work is like data entry and to do some very basic accounting work for one of the accounting firm.

And im just wondering whether i can claim some of my deductions under " self education expense?"

And plus, Am'I still a dependent child? Cause I'm also helping my mum to compile her tax return and in one section of the Tax Offset requires the calculation of ATI? What is the purpose for the calucation of ATI?

thanks in advance!
Iris:)

no, you are not dependent child, and no, i would not claim your uni course fees against your part time work, simply because it does not appear that you have undertaken the course to get a pay rise or improve your skill at your part time work.
