谢谢david，你真好人。 请问我读tafe的学费能claim吗？如能，怎么claim？

to claim your tafe course fee, it must be in connection to your employment, e.g. it improves your skill at work, it possible will lead to a payrise etc etc For eligible tax payers, they can claim under their tax return as one of the deduction items

1. Yes, non-resident tax payer is not entitled to the tax free threshold.
2. non-resident tax payer is only assessable on australian sourced income, the tax rate for 09 starts at 29c per dollar a ...

Thanks very much。

那就是说非纳税居民澳洲来源的收入交45％的税，中国收入不用交税了，是吗？

What you need to look at in this case is the non-commercial loss tests, tax payer may offset business loss against their other assessable income if one of the four non-commercial loss rules are pa ...

THe key is you pass the $20,000 test, you can pass by $1 or $10,000. but there could be an issue if you have multiple business activities.

If you husband has full time job earning decent amount of money, then conduct the cleaning business under your own name is appropriate, as you probably don't earn much being a part time.

If you are speaking of work experience, then no, not at the moment. (and most certainly never going to charge people to work for me)

Hi David

我和朋友刚刚注册了个公司，买了个Takeaway的小生意，准确的说应该是从6月初才开始的。
现在7月1日过了之后，关于公司年度税务上面我们都需要做些什么啊？
还有就是因为才开始1个多月，还没有找会计师什么的，你做这些业务吗？

Hi, Yes, i do,

you will need to:
1. prepare a set of company accounts
2. prepare income tax return for the 2009 financial year.
3. lodge payment summaries if the company has paid salaries before year end.
4. other

I apologize for the brief reply, as this is the busy season for myself.

Hi David,

Being a member of MBF, I have received the cheque representing my entitlement under the MBF scheme to combine the business of the MBF group and the Bupa Australia Group. Total number of units are 300 and unit value is $1.44, so the total entitlement is $433.07. How should I treat this payment when doing my tax return?

Thanks David for your prompt response. You are absolutely right. However I received the cheque right after Jun 30 2008 and banked the chq in Jul. I thought this would be based on cash basis, so I didn't include this in my 08 return. Now I am not sure what I should do about this. If this has to be in 08 return, how can I get fixed. If it can be included in 09 return, what category should it be grouped? Many thanks!

water2008

From the below website, you should not include it in any tax return
http://www.mbf.com.au/Demutualisation/InformationontheScheme

If you were an Australian resident when the demutualisation of MBF took place on 16 June 2008:

Under the new law any amounts you receive under the Scheme, including any amount you may receive from the residual pool in January 2009, are not subject to income tax and you do not need to include any amount you received under the Scheme when completing your 2007-08 tax return.

Hi David, can I ask one more question? As far as the tax offset on medical expense is concerned, can I combine my husband's medical expense together with mine then claim under my name or he has to claim on his own? As we have a newborn baby, his medical expense can be grouped with either of us, no matter who actually paid the bill, right? Thanks

Yes, you may group the medical expenses in this case

You mean I can group both my husband and my baby's expense or just my baby's medical expense?

David, 能再问你一个问题吗？
我个人的手机号被公司放到了公司的紧急提醒系统，也就是说只要公司有什么事，公司的保安都会发短消息到我的手机上。我没有向公司报销。这样的话，我的手机费用能不能claim, 虽然没有多少，因为很多情况都是收，没有发，但是有一点是一点。如果是的话，我需不需要把公司和个人的手机费用分开？个人感觉需要，但是又觉得我的手机无时不刻地在等待着公司的短消息， 似乎又能全claim， 能否指点一下？谢谢！

you must have some private phone calls going though the mobile, hence 100% work claim maynot be appropriate, 100% claim is normally when you have two mobiles, one of them is work phone where private use is very minor and infrequent. in your case, you may determine a work related % based on how much you use for work vs how much you use for personal.

我有一个unit, 自住了5年， 去年我们买了另外一个房子就从unit搬了出来, 出租， 变成投资房。
自住时，我们的贷款是30万， 中间有多还了一些， 大概最低还到过20万。 开始出租时我们从新找了一家银行， 做了market valuation并 refinance 了 loan. 新的贷款额是42万。

请问在今年的tax return中这个房子的interest 应该是按哪个贷款额算的？ 是20万还是30万还是42万 产生的利息？一个会计师说是按20万算， 可是我问了ato的人（ 打电话咨询的）说是可以按42万的利息算。。。。

足迹上能人多多， 请问有没有人很清楚这个情况的。

DAVID请教你一个问题。
现在在看一个咖啡店。店主提供的P&L 我有点小迷茫。
JAN 2009
(1) SALES(INC GST) =31959
(2) GST AMOUNT= 2915.41
(3) NET SALES  =(1)-(2)= 29044.14

为什么在算NET SALE的时候要把GST给去掉呢。
