11.01.2022 Weekly Tax Tip Cash Flow for Rental Properties Many people work as employees and have PAYG deducted from their pay each time they are paid. If you are trying to buy a good rental property that seems a little out of reach then consider varying your PAYG withholding tax, which reduces the PAYG withholding tax you pay from your wages/salary as you go throughout the year and releases cash flow to help pay interest on your negatively geared property. Note, you will receive a low...er tax refund at year end, but it means that you can afford to buy a better rental property because you have better cash flow throughout the year. Be careful not to overestimate your deductions or underestimate your income associated with the property. This could lead to a tax shortfall and an obligation to pay tax at year end. So be conservative. If you would like to know more, call us to talk to one of our registered tax agents and CPAs obligation free and we can help you minimize your tax.

06.01.2022 OUCH! YOU MAY BE HIT WITH CAPITAL GAINS TAX WHEN CLAIMING HOME OFFICE EXPENSES. With a growing number of people leaving corporate life and starting home based businesses, the topic of home office expense claims is coming to the attention of the Tax Office, Small business owners should be careful not to pay the ultimate price for incorrectly calculating their home office expenses.... In particular, claiming the interest charges on your home mortgage will trigger capital gains tax which could be far too high a price to pay if your property is gaining in value. When calculating home office expenses the general rule that most small business owners use to claim expenses is to claim only running costs such as heating, cleaning, depreciation on office equipment and so on. They avoid claiming occupancy costs such as interest expense and rates to avoid capital gains tax on the sale of their residential home. But here’s the sting! What very few people are aware of is that there is still a chance that the Tax Office may actually compel you to pay capital gains tax on the sale of your residential home, despite the fact that you did not claim occupancy expenses such as interest when you lodged your annual tax returns. There are a number of ways to claim home office expenses such as the: 1) Cents Per Hour Method 2) Actual Running Cost Method 3) Floor Area Method. Depending on the method of calculation you choose you may, or may not, be exposed to capital gains tax on your residential home. If you would like to know more, speak to ASN Financial Tax Accountants Melbourne, for a free one hour consultation in relation to your specific circumstances and needs.

02.01.2022 3 SIMPLE WAYS TO BOOST YOUR TAX REFUND Financial year end is fast approaching so it’s time to think about how to get more money from the taxman, or pay less tax to the taxman as the case may be. If you are an employee, then here are some simple tips to optimise your tax position. 1. Bring Forward Your Work Related Expenses... If you are thinking about upgrading that old computer, or buying a new briefcase, or even subscribing to a work related training course, then make sure you pay for it before 30 June 2015 to bring forward your tax deduction into the current financial year. Make sure your donations are made before year end, and prepay interest due on investment loans. If you have a rental property then consider paying for repairs before 30 June. But always remember, before doing any of this, make sure you have enough cash flow at your disposal so that you don’t get into any problems down the track. 2. Contribute to Superannuation Superannuation is not only a great low tax environment for your investments, but also a great way to maximise your tax deduction at year end. If you are running your own business or earn money through investments of various sorts, and you earn less than 10% of your earnings from salary and wage income then consider making some additional super contributions up to the amount of the contributions cap. If you are a salary and wage earner then consider salary sacrificing some of your wages/salary prior to year end, up to the amount of the contributions cap. For more information about how the contributions cap applies to you call ASN Financial. There are also a range of rebates such as the government co-contribution and the spouse co-contribution you may be able to take advantage of. 3. Delay Your Income Rollover your term deposits into a period post 30 Jun 2015. Hold off on selling assets or investments until after year end. If however you are likely to make a capital loss, then you may want to consider bringing the loss forward into the current financial year. For more information about what you can do to maximise your tax refund at year end, contact us today.
