客户通常会问他们是否能通过从公司，合伙企业或信托公司获得的个人服务收入来降低所得税。个人服务收入（PSI）是主要由您的个人技能或个人努力产生的收入。当您收到的合同金额的50％以上是您的劳力，技能或专业知识时，收入被归类为PSI。在您设立任何组织架构之前，您首先需要确定任何收入是否会被归类为PSI。 PSI的条款是确保纳税人不能通过公司、合伙企业或信托转移从其个人服务中获得的收入或要求对该收入进行不当扣减来减少或推迟所得税。PSI条款对受其影响者的影响是： • PSI 包含在个人服务或技能产生收入的个人纳税人的应纳税收入中，以及 • 个人或实体可能针对PSI要求的扣减有限制，以便它们大致与作为员工可用的扣减额度相对应。 个人服务收入主要是对个人努力或技能的奖励。它不包括来自下列的收入： • 用于供应或销售商品（例如，来自零售、全售或制造）， • 收入来源于创造收入的资产（如通过推土机） • 授予财产的使用权（例如计算机程序的版权）或 • 由业务结构生成（例如，为大型会计师事务所工作的会计师）。个人服务收入全文链接

Some clients want to deregister a company and often consult how to do it, we would like to share more information with you for tax treatment with ATO in this article. The article is based on ATO’s guidance of deregistering a company. Overview of deregistration A company may be deregistered either: • voluntarily, for example, after it is closed down • by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC), for example, for outstanding annual review fees • by court order, for example, following amalgamation or as a result of winding-up. Once a company is deregistered it ceases to exist as a legal entity and can no longer do anything in its own right. Note: To prevent administrative deregistration of your company by ASIC, keep your contact details and obligations up to date with ASIC. It is better to authorize ASIC agent to manage your company compliance issues to avoid any late payment for the renew fee and other issues. Deregistering Company Full Article Link
