关于2010 tax return 的问题

accelerate

老板最近让我做tax return,原因是我有training过2009 tax return,可是从来没上手做过，现在可急死我了，只有上来求助了！！！
有个client，在1/07/2009 买了一台laptop,$2100，属于Other work-related deduction。但是要怎么填它的得depreciation?
应该用prime, 还是diminishing rate? rate 要怎么算呢？ effective life是几年呢？
求助有tax return 经验的人帮忙！！

怎么没人回复聂？ 呼唤足迹的牛人啊！！

Effective life for a laptop is 3 years. diminishing rate would give a higher deduction. the depreciation rate would be 66.667%
If you are using a software such as tax elite, enter description of the asset as laptop, the work related usage of the laptop (for example, he used 20% of the laptop for work, 80% for private use), date the laptop was acquired (1/7/2009), the cost of the appreciable asset ($2100).

If you are going to do the calculation manually, cost of depreciation would be 66.67%x$2100 = $1400.
If laptop used for half of the year, apportion it according to the number of days it was used, ie. if used for 200 days, 200/365x$1400.
If laptop is used for other purpose than work, apportion the depreciation as well. eg. 20% work related, then 20%x$1400.

Hope this helps. :)

想问下想知道commissioner decided effective lifes 除了TR2010/2之外还应该去哪里找呢？ 主要是TR2010/2规定的assets都太特殊了，常用的反而找不到！谢谢解惑！

hmm.. 2010/2 is the updated version for 2009/4. There shouldn't be much difference. You can try to find the effective life by looking at Table B, where it is categorized according to alphabetical order.
Table A is according to industry. so if you have a rental property, it is easier to find from table A.

another question!

One Client sold her shares on 26/08/09, the shares were issued  on 1/10/07. No. of share is 100, the price for each share is 1.06, therefore, the sale proceeds is $106.

Question is coming, how can I calculate CGT for the shares? I don't have any information for the cost of the share.

求助前辈们， 怎样才能是做tax return的效率更高，最近刚刚接触，可是总是出错，都要愁死我了！！！
昨天居然连client的DOB都打错了，强烈的鄙视我自己！！ 谁来说说啊？

怎么没人理我呢？ 就我一人唱独角戏啊？

我有个新问题哈，client去外地学习，incurred accommondation expense, toll, car expenses,meal , text expensese and assignment fees. 我查了上一年同样情况下，以上被归为self-education expenses 和other work-related expenses了，可是今年没有了car expenses，我应该怎么算呢？是work-related travel expenses 和 other work-related expenses吗？

要知道original cost才能算cgt。还要问问大体时间，如果小于12个月也没有50% cgt discount。

就是说今年去外地学习没有car expenses？
他没有就没得claim了，除非他忘记告诉你了。

我也问了老板了，他说确实没有car expenses，但是让我按professional做， 把每一项都列出来，做other work-related deduction! 这样可以吗？

ronitrue

没有具体了解很难回答。听上去好像claim的挺多的。

不过如果你老板了解他的情况的话，叫你这样做，就有他的道理吧。

accelerate

你这样一说，到时提醒我了，如果今年没car expenses，那toll是哪来的呢？？
不是很奇怪吗？

关于depreciation的问题， 有个client自己做business，去年的买了两部手机，做了work-related depreciation。但是，今年手机丢了，我该怎么做呢？直接write-off就好了吗？不对其他Income/expense有影响吗？

记得好像是要做adjustment的，手机的adjustment value应该还是可以抵税的。
偶不敢确定，等待高手回答

谢谢你的意见，如果做adjustment, 可是手机丢了怎么算它的termination value呢？

是不是disposal of a CGT asset.

CGT event happens when CGT Asset loss or destory

我想不会是CGT，因为这2部电话都是businesee-related的

这个不是它的购买价-已经depreciate掉的价值吗？手机应该是low value pool，300刀-1000刀之间的吧。。

俺说的可能不对，仅供参考哦～～
