您好，非常感谢您的回答。
1，公司前几年的LOSS可以在今年抵税，我可否细节问到它属于TAX RETURN表里的哪个分类或者这种损失叫什么名称是什么抵税项。另外退税表里的LOSS INFORMATION里的数字是当年的损失还是累计损失的总 ...

1. if you satisfy the loss rules, you can deduct in the Tax Losses Deducted, Part 7 Label R.
under part 13 label U, please reflect the amount of losses carried forward to future years.
2. yes, partnership losses can be carried forward to future years.

i strongly recommend you engage a tax agent to do this, i can only give you generic answers here in the website which may not be suitable to your situation. you can't rely on these information during an audit either.

请问，我想做小生意是从中国进口的，主要是在网上卖，像eBay. Google.自己店做的网站
1）我可不可以先从sole trader刚开始做，不知道要不要申请GST(一般是在网上卖的，客人用的credit card多）
2）我需不需向Fair Trading 申请 registration of business name
3）不申请GST是不是不需要季度报账了,在每年的finacial year和做个人的报税是一样的
4）如果sole trader是我 老公在做，我在家带孩子，我老公在把他的 收入分配给我之后，在每年的finacial year是不是可以抵一些他个人的税

谢谢你 ，麻烦啦------

1) no, you don't have to register GST if your turnover is below 75000, registering GST will destroy your online business profit margin
2) no
3) you only have to lodge your income tax return once a year
4) yes.

谢谢你的回答，我很受用！
连着我上面的帖子，我想再请教你几个问题：
1）如果需要给客户开invoice，那么公司的名字是少不了出现在invoice上的，我应该去哪里申请公司的名字？网上可以申请的吗？怎样知道是否和别人的公司名字有没有重复上？在网上我申请了ABN,其中有一条是写公司名字的，这样j就算申请公司名字了吗？
2）我申请了ABN，要过多久才会知道
万分感谢！！！！！

1, if you decide to use your own name, there is no need to register, however if you use a name like ABCD, you need to register a business name with consumer affairs, yes you can register online.
2, ATO standard processing days is within 28 days.

David您好，请教一个问题：
我目前的股票帐号在个人名下，如果年收入在8万以上，是不是应该用公司名义建一个账户呢把股票都转过去呢？
公司30%的flat rate应该比较划算吧？ 另外如果我start一个公司，但只是用来做股票，没有其他的经济活动，能在办公家具，租金等等上抵税吗？
谢谢！

well, you must be aware that there is no 50% CGT concession in a company, therefore using company is not idea for share investors. if you are a share trader in the business of share trading, yes company can be to your benefit. you must provide me with more details

justbeatit

thanks for the reply David.
手上做长线的股票我会放在自己个人名义下，这样如您说的可以拿到50% CGT的benefit，但短线的股票也不少，如果都放在个人名下，税率很有可能就到了比较高的threshold了，所以在考虑要不要注册一个公司有30%的税率，这些钱放在公司名下我也不用取出来，买车什么的用公司名义也就可以了，另外是不是可以抵些税？

必须说DAVID实在是尽心尽力而且专业周到。我有个比较初级的问题，我做ebay一年大概5W的账面收入。但这里包括了至少1W的AUPOST邮费，ebay和paypal还要收大约12%。成本假设说2.5W的话。剩下就只有1W多澳元。
那么年中报税的时候，
1：我应该把5W都报上去然后说明这些细节成本呢还是只报1W多的收入？
2：如果是报5W多的账面收入，我怎么提供ebay收取的insertion fee和成交费再加上paypal扣得钱呢？
谢谢！！

我有个问题不知道是应该问会计还是律师。

就是一个公司有2个股东。一个占75%一个占25%，如果其中75%的那个人想转让或者出售25%股份给其他人，在手续上是只要她签署转让协议之类的，还是必须2个股东都要签署。细节方面我不需要知道，只是个大概意思。

1. you should report 50000 as income, ebay/paypal and auspost are all be expenses
2. don't you have statements from eby/paypal showing how much they have charged? they are records of your expenses

first question would be: is there a company constitution??? where you and the other party have both agreed that if one party decides to sell shares, they must offer to the other party first?????

hi, i can't give you a definitive answer, to be honest, if you want to avoid problems with the ATO and be conservative, i suggest NO, you can't claim interest on the land. especially when you have already suggested that you want to build your new home on it.

if you intention is to purchase a land and build rental properties, under ATO general information on claiming interest re rental properties (note these are general information, its not law). they do allow you to claim these types of interest as a tax deduction. However, the ATO will look very closely at these types of cases. so prepare to be audited. refer the following link

请问做进口生意的，除了ABN外,sole trader 是不是可以以个人的名义清关（不提供trading name )?

Sole trader = 个人的名义, but this is not a tax question, its a question for custom broker

i believe the answer to your question is yes.

How are you David? Please may I ask you:

   My mum who is 79 years old (retired teacher, no health care card, no does not claim pensioner security here, has to wait 10 years from 2008 when her PR first approved). She usually spends 6 months in Vic, then 6 months overseas. If she has a rental return of $20,000 per annum here, how much tax does she need to pay? What's the max she can earn per annum before she has to pay any tax?

   Thank you David have a great week!

assume she's a tax resident (based on the information so far, she appears to be one) she can have total taxable income of $16000 without paying any taxes. so if you are talking about gross of 20000, less expenses, she'll be quite close to it.

David,

请教你几个问题

两个朋友准备合伙做生意，可能是partnership 或company

问题一，如果成立partnership是不是要律师出一份partnership agreement,自己两个人大概的写一份是不是不可以。

问题二，如果成立公司，是不是要律师出章程，股东决议，power of attonary,自己两个人商量写一下不可以吗

问题三，如果成立公司，公司的注册地址的物业不是两个人的，而且物业的主人也不同意让自己的物业地址成为公司的注册地址，而且一时半会也找不到同意的物业，是不是就没有办法成立公司了

问题四，是不是公司的章程和partnership agreement是必须的，而且还要去备案，


谢谢啦

Hi, david,
very appreciated your help and answering my previous question. I have signed the land's contract. to be honest, I am not very sure whether I will build my house in 2-3 years, because the land is  big, 2600 sq, so just thinking that the value of this land will  increase, so if I put this land as investment in this year tax return, in the future I don't build any house, just re-sell this land, could I treat this land as the investment, and get some deduction for tax return like interest, body cooperate fee...
thanks u time and help again. zinger
