FBT stands for fringe benefit tax, it is a tax imposed on the employee benefits paid employers. it is usually in relation to company paying private internet costs, phone costs, accommodation, park ...

是这样的，我们公司用50/50 method 来报FBT,staff 50% clients 50%, 你能说一下，这两部分在GST, FBT, INCOME TAX DEDUCTION 方面是如何处理的吗？非常感谢。

GST and deduction is only allowed on the portion that FBT tax has been paid on. therefore 50% of the GST is claimed, while 50% of the gross expenses need to be added back for income tax purposes.

there is no real tax advantage for ABN holders in this case, your husband is caught under the PSI rule. ABN is simple a free number that anyone can obtain in 10 mins. how much does the agent offer if he signs as an employee?

DAVID你好，麻烦你我想请教一下：

我有个朋友，08-09年财政年度的工作收入只有1100 （工作收入和银行利息加起来小于6000），但是他用的是ABN，别人直接把1100收入打到他的账上，有点像SUB-CONTRACTOR，这样的情况就算总收入不到6000，他也要lodge a tax return吗？

我问过他当时注册的是SOLE TRADE, PARTNERSHIP, 还是COMPANY，他说他不记得了。

还有，他没有交过跟工作有关的TAX WITHHOLDING给ATO，银行利息有TAX WITHHOLDING。没注册过GST。

非常感谢！

you has to lodge a tax return been a abn holder, plus he can get his interest withholding tax back

David,

请问参加国际会议的机票的钱可不可以通过退税退回来？我LP是在大学里搞科研的，今年4月参加了一个国际会议，飞机票是通过旅行社购买的比较便宜的机票。结果回学校报销的时候学校说应该通过学校指定的订票机构订票才能报销飞机票，自己买的不能报销。如果是这样的话，这个飞机票是不是可以不用学校来报销，通过今年的退税也可以退回来？ 这样也可以节省一些科研经费，是不是比通过学校来报销更好？

Hi David
我有个很急的问题，我是做DELIVERY的sole trader, 我用e-tax报税的时候，进入15.net profit or loss from business,description of main business or professional activity, 为何找不到delivery 这个职业呢?

yes, you can claim upto 100% if the trip was solely for work related. but tax deduction is not as good as full reimbursement.

我去年7月——12月是take了一套房子，一个朋友和我分租（也就是我做二房东），去年12月初的时候我settle了自住房，该朋友继续搬到我的自住房里一起住。
由于他一直是给我网上转账付房租，我不得不报房租收入，但是请问我做二房东的时候的房租收入用报么？还是只报自住房settle之后的部分？
另外，这套自住房是二房一卫，我和老公住大卧室，房客住小卧，如果我把expense的一半报到他身上，合理么？

Hi David,

If we can claim upto 100%, why did you say tax deduction is not as good as full reimbursement? In my case, if I claim this trip as tax deduction, then I will have more research fund left for my next international conference and I will have more money to spend.

well, maybe i misunderstood what you mean by claiming deduction, but generally, when you claim a tax deduction, you can not get back a portion of what you actually spent based on your tax rate, i.e. you spent 1000 for work related purpose, you may get back 300 back in refund if you average tax rate is 30%. a reimbusement means you can get the entire 1000 back.

got an additional Q here. might be stupid Q

I'm contractor, friend who worked in ATO said, coz I have cars which I plan to sell,  he mentioned that i should sell the almost new one I'm dring at the moment, then get my  husband to sell his car which is sitting there doing nothing to the company under my name,  legally claim back 50% of selling price in the first yr, then sort of 12.5 %? the yrs following that.... is that correct? I don't know much about tax, it just sounds 2good. Plz clarify n thanks

由于他一直是给我 ...

1. when you were 二房东, if his payment were purely to cover his shares of light & power, and rent, there is no profit incentive for you. i don't see any reason for declaring as a income, even if you do, the income will be offset by the expenses incurred by you anyway.
2. strictly speaking, it should be based on floor space, therefore 50% is unreasonable. however, do you know once you claim this as a partial rental property, there will be CGT consequences when you sell later on?
i am sorry, i missed your question before.

Hi,
My boss recently opened a second store.  Can I claim deduction for travelling from the first store to second store?
Thanks.
