10 月税务更新

 税务居民评定规则改革

税务委员会发布了一份关于改革税务居民评定规则的咨询指南。 他们将审查着眼于简化税务居民规则的选项,同时保护系统的诚信度。这种简化,将评定税务居民时的多个选项,简化为以下两步:

  • 主要测试 (Primary Test) – 基于就个人在澳洲境内居住的时间(即“天数”)作为主要的评定标准,通过时间来自动确认个人税务居民状态。
  • 次要测试 (Secondary Test) – 次要测试是针对那些没有通过上述主要测试的个人,就个人的实际情况进行其他考量,同时结合现有的判例来决定个人的税务居民状态。

此外,该指南还涉及其他咨询领域:

  • 诚信 – 对于那些规避税务居民规则的‘居住地不确定者’(’resident of nowhere’),在评定税务居民时,将考量是否会有诚信问题。
  • 退休金测试 – 指南将更新过时的退休金测试,使该测试仅适用于英联邦官员及其家属,其中官员为已关闭的政府退休基金(最后一个该类基金于2005年关闭)的成员。
  • 过往的税务居民状态

税务委员会认为,该规则上的任何变更有望减少过渡影响。 咨询将于2018年10月26日关闭,之后税务委员会将与有关各方进行有针对性的磋商。

低收入者可能仍需要提交纳税申报表

ATO已经发布了一份指南,以确认即使有些低收入人士的应税收入低于纳税门槛,但仍可能需要提交纳税申报表。在许多情况下,即使他们在一年中没有纳税义务,也需要提交纳税申报表。例如,个人在收入年度中亏损,那么他们需要提交纳税申报表。

消费税和所供应货物与澳大利亚的关系

ATO指出,货物供应是否与澳大利亚有关,并不取决于交易各方的税务居住身份或生意地点。如果货物在交易期间位于澳大利亚境外,那么供应不应与澳大利亚有联系,也不应产生GST责任,即使有关各方是澳大利亚居民。

快递和清洁行业的应税报告系统

自2018年7月1日起将应税付款报告系统扩展至快递和清洁行业。虽然规则范围广泛,可适用于提供清洁或快递服务的所有实体,在立法最终版本中增加了一些例外,如若该年度的清洁或快递服务占总服务不足10%,则不需要报告。
