进口商品的商品和服务税
对大多数进口到澳大利亚的商品(应税进口)应缴纳商品和服务税(GST)。企业,组织和个人都应缴纳应税进口商品的GST,无论他们是否注册了商品及服务税。但是,如果您是在GST注册的企业或组织,并且在活动中进口商品,则可以为使用这些商品支付的任何GST索取GST抵免额。 支付进口商品的GST 民政事务部就应税进口征收GST。应付的GST为应税进口商品价值的10%。 应税进口额是以下各项的总和: •货物的海关价值 •应付的任何关税 •将货物运至其在澳大利亚的寄售地点已付或应付的运输款项 •该运输的保险费用 •应缴纳的任何葡萄酒税 通常,在内政部放行货物之前,应先支付GST。如果您未按照递延的GST计划进行注册,则GST 应在与您关税相同的时间,地点和方式下支付(如果商品需缴纳关税,则应支付GST)。 递延GST 作为进口商,递延商品和服务税(DGST)计划使您可以推迟对所有应税进口澳大利亚商品GST的支付。您需要向ATO申请批准。 参加延期GST计划的资格,您需符合: •拥有澳大利亚的业务编号(ABN) •注册GST •在线提交活动声明报表(BAS)并以电子方式付款 •每月提交您的活动声明报表(如果您当前每季度提交一次,一旦我们收到并批准您的申请,它将更改为每月一次)•确保该商品或与相当的商品供家庭消费 •如果您是GST组的成员,请确保您指定的代表已注册了DGST计划。 如果您符合资格并想要申请DGST,请完成在线申请表格(NAT 75136)。申请表允许您在申请之前检查您的资格。如果您符合资格,请使用相同的表格继续您的申请。如果您最近更改为每月BAS报告周期,则需要等待一个工作日才能提交GST延期申请。 递延GST的义务 如果您参加了延期GST计划,则必须满足以下要求: •使用以下任一方法在线提交并支付您的业务活动声明(BAS) -针对商业的在线服务 -支持标准业务报告(SBR)的软件 -税务代理和BAS代理通过中介线上服务代表您提交 -针对个人和个体交易者的在线服务-使用myGov帐户。 •准时提交–如果您不准时提交,您可能会退出延期GST计划。 •支付与时俱进–如果您不遵守付款计划,则可能会从延期GST计划中退出。 撤销延期GST计划 如果要继续从延期GST中受益,请确保您的所有纳税义务都是最新的,并符合您的GST延迟批准要求。如果您不这样做,那么您将不再成为延迟的GST计划的一部分。这表示: •海关将保留您的货物,直到您支付GST •您将不得不重新注册该计划。 本文仅供参考,不构成我们建议的一部分。本文基于ATO的指南。我们可以代表您申请DGST计划。如果您需要任何帮助,请与我们的团队联系。
Super Guarantee Charge (SGC)
Client often got a lot of enquiries about what to do if they don’t pay employee’s super guarantee on time. So, if an employer failed to pay super on time, they must pay superannuation guarantee charge (SGC) and lodge SGC statement to ATO. The charge is made up of SG shortfall, 10% interest and an administration fee of $20 per employee, per quarter. If an employer pay SG late to employee's super fund, they may be able to use the late payment either to offset the SGC or to carry forward as pre-payment of a future contribution for the same employee. Late payment offset Employer generally be able to offset late payment amounts against the SGC if they: • made the payment to employee's super fund • made the payment before the date of SGC assessment was made. • lodge your late payment offset election with ATO within four years of their original SGC assessment date. To claim for late payment offset, employer can submit a completed spreadsheet version of the SGC statement which can be download from ATO portal. Carry forward your late payment This option is to use your late payment towards your super guarantee contribution. This is in the quarter it was actually paid or a future quarter. Employer can do this if it's for the same employee and the start of the quarter is within 12 months after the payment date.Employer could not claim a late payment offset for contributions they have used as a prepayment for current or future periods. If they carry a late payment forward, it is tax-deductible in the year they paid it. This article is for informational purposes only and does not form part of our advice. We could help you to lodge and pay super guarantee charge on your behalf. Please contact our team if you need any assistance.
养老金保障费
客户经常会问如果不按时支付员工的养老金会带来什么问题。如果雇主未能按时支付养老金,则他们必须支付养老金保障费(SGC)并向ATO提交SGC声明。 费用由未缴纳的养老金金额,每年10%的利息和每位员工每季度$ 20的管理费组成的。 如果雇主向员工的养老金机构晚支付了养老金,则他们可以使用这笔延迟支付的养老金来抵消SGC或者转为该雇员未来养老金的预付款。 逾期付款抵销 如果您满足以下条件雇主通常可以抵销SGC的罚款金 • 已支付了员工的养老金 • 在进行SGC评估之日之前付款 • 在您最初的SGC评估日期后的四年内,向ATO提出延迟付款抵消选择。 如果您要申请抵消您的罚款金,您可以在ATO网站下载一份电子表格,填写完整后提交给ATO。 结转逾期付款 您的另一选择是将您的滞纳金用于抵消您的养老金。这可以是在实际支付的季度或以后的季度。 您可以在以下情况下执行此操作: • 是同一位员工 • 该季度的开始是在付款日期后的12个月内。 对于当前或未来期间用作预付款的款项,您不能用所交付的滞纳金来抵消。如果您结转了滞纳金到新的年度,则可以在当年支付的时候抵税。 本文仅供参考,不构成我们建议的一部分。 我们可以帮助您代您提交并支付养老保证金。 如果您需要任何帮助,请与我们的团队联系。
Trust
Client often got a lot of enquiries about trust structure, some want to use trust to invest properties or holding assets. We wrote an article for family trust before. Today, I would like to write some general information related to other types of trusts. For more professional suggestions, please consult with our professional team. What is trust? Trusts are widely used for investment and business purposes. A trust is an obligation imposed on a person or other entity to hold property for the benefit of beneficiaries. While in legal terms a trust is a relationship not a legal entity, trusts are treated as taxpayer entities for the purposes of tax administration. Trustee A trustee may be a natural person or a company. The trustee is responsible for managing the trust's tax affairs, including registering the trust in the tax system, lodging trust tax returns and paying some tax liabilities. Beneficiaries A Beneficiary can be a person, company, another trust or a charitable entity that nominated to receive the benefit of the trust property. Beneficiaries may have an entitlement to trust income or capital that is set out in the trust deed or they may acquire an entitlement because the trustee exercises a discretion to pay them income or capital.

信托
客户经常会询问很多关于信托结构的问题,比如有些人想利用信托来投资房产或持有资产。我们以前就咨询较多的家庭信托写了一篇文章。今天,我想分享一些与其他类型的信托有关的信息。如需要更多专业建议,请咨询我们的专业团队。 什么是信托? 信托被广泛用于投资和商业目的。信托是个人或其他实体为受益人的利益而持有财产的义务。虽然从法律上来说,信托是一种关系而不是法律实体,但出于税收管理的目的,信托被视为纳税人实体。 受托人 受托人可能是个人或公司。受托人负责管理信托的税务事务,包括在税务系统登记信托,提交信托纳税申报表和支付一些税务责任。 受益者 受益人可以是指定接受信托财产利益的人、公司、另一个信托或慈善实体。受益人可能有权获得信托契约中规定的信托收入或资本,也可能因为受托人行使支付收入或资本的酌处权而获得权利。 信托全文连接
