我想请问一下，现在是一年一度的报税时期，对于个人来说，它有没有时间限制的？比如说个人报税时间截止到某月某日，过期者要缴纳一定的罚款之类的。 ...

Hi, Divid

有个问题请教一下

我本来居住墨尔本，在墨尔本有房子，算是pricipal resident, 但是我今年初申请了课程在悉尼，为了居住方便，所以在悉尼也买了unit，这样悉尼的房子算投资房吗？如果算投资房，但是我没有出租，而是暂 ...

in this case, your sydney property will become your principle residence, and melbourne will become your investment property. the initial renovation costs will become part of sdyney's cost base along with its purchase price and stamp duty.

Internet is deductible for certain, in relation to your rent, you can deduct rent if you see clients at your home or store goods at home, the prior seems unlikely since you run a online business, but if you need large space of your home to store goods, then claim appropriately based on floor space. e.g 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/5

Hi, there will be depreciation on 20 years old house, although not much, for average 20 year old houses, you may be looking at around 3000 for the first year in terms of depreciation.
Normally, depreciation should be you main concern when deciding on purchasing a investment property.

非常感谢楼主的解答，还想请问一下，是不是生意不管盈亏，都要tax return还是需要收入到一定的比例才需要退税？

请教David，我人不在澳洲（在澳洲也没住满6个月）应该算是non-resident for tax purpose吧？如果我从明年开始有租金收入，但租金收入小于应还贷款的利息，这种情况下，我需要报税吗？

谢谢啦,那我准备一年至少16000的折旧,要大概几年新的房子呀,

还有我在卖房子之前怎么知道这房子有多少折旧,谢谢

我没有工作收入，只是去年老公失业时我从centrelink申请了失业补助，大概2000多吧，然后今年报税的时候就作为收入报了，税单也收到了，当然我不用交税，但在老公报税里有一项 spouse tax offset就相应减少了，前两天突然收到centrelink一封信，说是因为有一个月时间不在澳洲要退回800，我想知道，我退回这800，那我的收入就变少了，对我影响不大，但老公就受影响了，等于多交税了，这种情况该怎么办呢，是要再报一次还是等明年再说呢，谢谢！

Hi David, a question regarding investment property:
I rent out only one bed room ($150/week) out of three, and meantime I am living in as well. I bought this brand new house  in June 2008 and started renting from July 2009. What kind of cost can be deducted from my income? What supporting documentary I need to provide (receive cash only)? What's the depreciation rate applies to the property and facilities in the house?
Please give me some professional suggestion. Thanks

is this recommended by the company? if you can also justify that you will likely to get a payrise in the current position by doing this course, then yes, it is related, and yes it will be a deduction to you.

请问楼主我在partnership的亏损是在13项partnership里面还是15项net income or loss from business 申报吗？想确认一下。先谢谢了

15项定义是Complete this item if you derived income or incurred a loss from any business – other than personal services income
这样的话partnership也应该在15项里申报一下？没搞明白 希望lz指点一下

individual returns are prepared on cash basis, which means the $800 is in relation to the current year, which the $2000 your report last year is still correct because that's what you have received in 2009/10.

今年ATO搞得有点复杂, 一个E-tex上要看的东西太多了, 有点晕. 昨天忙了好一会儿.头有点涨了,去泡杯茶.回来一看,电脑居然死机了.

有几个问题需要大家帮忙解答一下:

1) 以前我有一点USD固定存款, 当初汇率可是差不多有1USD=2AUD.去年买房子,没有办法只好把USD换成了AUD, 但是汇率就差很多了, 差不多1USD=1.2USD. 请问,我可以把这当作我的损失,然后退税补回来?

2) 我有两个小孩,LP主要在家带小baby,没有多少收入(享受一点点FBA/B). 我自己工资是8W多, 请问我在退税时, 有什么地方可以deduction 和offset的?主要是家庭方面的.
   (花钱的地方太多, 真希望能多退回来,好补偿一下家用)

3) 我LP的税能全部退回来,我想就随便填写了, 但是却总是看到需要填写对方的收入或什么的,有点怕.那后面我自己退税时,两组数据是不是还要进行比对?万一不吻合会有什么问题?

谢谢大家了.

it is denied as a general deduction under section 8-1, as it is capital in nature, and it is not directly related to revenue.

However, it can be deducted in equal proportions over five income years starting in the year it was incurred(subsection 40-880(2))

1. yes, sole trader business loss can be carried forward to the following year.
2. going concern is an issue for company operation, from tax point of view, the ATO may be more concerned about whether the losses is due to income not 100% reported.
