你的生意会被ATO审查吗?

ATO是如何识别审查目标的呢?

当生意涉及是否违规操作的问题时,ATO的审查行动总是最为迅速。每年他们都会发布小生意行业基准(small business benchmark),当中明确列出在不同的行业一个普通的生意‘’看起来‘‘应有的样子。如果您的生意不在这些基准范围内,很可能会引起ATO 的注意。

如果您的生意不在这些基准范围内,不意味着这就会引起税务问题,这可能意味着您的生意与其他同行有着不同的商业模式或与同行相比表现不佳。但是,当您的生意不在基准范围内时,确保您有足够的证据(最好保存相关文件)证明造成差异的原因并非出于逃避税务所造成的是十分重要的。如果您没有证据证明您的生意为何会不在基准范围内,ATO很可能会直接使用基准比率判定您应缴纳的税款并发出税款审核修正(revised tax assessment)。

ATO 主要排查以下指数

  • 主营业务成本/产品成本占营业额比重(除人力成本外)
  • 总费用占营业额比重
  • 租金占营业额比重
  • 人力成本占营业额比重
  • 机动车辆费用占营业额比重
  • 非资本购买花费占总销售比重
  • 不含GST销售占总销售比重

比方说,一个兽医诊所每年的营业额在$300,001到$800,00澳币之间,主营业务成本预测占总营业额25%至29% (平均约为27%),平均总成本占78%,人力成本占营业额21%至29%,租金则应在5%至8%区间。

这些行业基准对于那些想去了解并进入相关行业的人士来说也是一个十分重要的工具。同时,它能指出您的生意是否落后于同行竞争者,帮助您及时作出针对性的改进。
