有关new Sole Trader的退税问题

CDCD

我08年4月份的时候申请了ABN，Biz name和开了个PO Box，申请了网站域名，采购了货准备做home-based Sole Trader。但是因为网站迟迟没有建成自己想要的，目前已经8月份了我都没有正式开始卖我的东东。我平时是有full time工作的，这个网站打算只是额外锦上添花多赚点钱就好。

我现在的business并未产生任何的sales 和profit,，那么我在申请那些域名注册Biz Name开PO Box，购货的费用，一切建立这个Business的花费可以在07-08的financial year申请退税吗？另外我的房子是租的，房租电费电话费家具这些都可以tax deduction吗？

各位大大可不可以给点意见？谢谢啊！(monkey27)

Running a business from your home is like running any other business. you can generally claim the following expenses

1 light & power, water based on floor space (in another word, % of the house your use)or
light & power, water based on statutory rate.
2 depreciation on business furnitures, computers etc etc within the house

you must satisfy certain tests before you can claim interest.
you work space must be clearly identifiable as a place of business, its used exclusively for business not domestic in any way. HAVE A COMPUTER AND A DESK DOES NOT MAKE IT A PLACE OF BUSINESS.
bare in mind, if you did claim the interest, you must account for any CAPITAL GAIN WHEN YOU SELL THE HOUSE.

there are several issues to consider, i don't go into too much detail. hope the above helps.

As non commercial losses, 一般不可以, 除非你符合一定的条件.

You can offset a loss from a business activity against other income if the business activity passes at least one of the following four tests. It may:

have assessable income from the activity of at least $20,000
have produced a profit in three out of the past five years
use real property or an interest in real property worth at least $500,000, on a continuing basis, or
use other assets worth at least $100,000, on a continuing basis.
