24.01.2022 Tax office to double audits of 'dodgy' rental deductions: Rental property owners are being warned to ensure their claims are correct this tax time, as the ATO has announced it will double the number of audits... scrutinising rental deductions, with a specific focus on: - over-claimed interest; - capital works claimed as repairs; - incorrect apportionment of expenses for holiday homes let out to others; and - omitted income from accommodation sharing. The number one cause of the ATO disallowing a claim is taxpayers being unable to produce receipts or other documents to support a claim. Furnishing fraudulent or doctored records will attract higher penalties and may also result in prosecution. The ATO has also reminded taxpayers that, since 1 July 2017, they can no longer claim travel expenses related to inspecting, maintaining or collecting rent for a residential rental property, unless they are an "excluded entity".

14.01.2022 ATO recommends updating ABN details for disastrous reasons: The ATO has provided a novel, though important, reason for businesses to update their ABN details: to help businesses to manage the coming disaster... season. ABN details are used by emergency services and government agencies to help identify and contact businesses during times of emergency and potential disaster. Therefore, to make sure they don’t miss out on receiving important information, the ATO asks that businesses update their ABN details, including authorised contacts, physical location, email and phone number. Also, if a taxpayer is no longer in business, the ATO asks they cancel their ABN so they aren't contacted unnecessarily. See more

02.01.2022 ATO targeting false laundry claims: The ATO will target false clothing and laundry work related expense claims this Tax Time. In 2018, around six million people claimed work related... clothing and laundry expenses totalling nearly $1.5 billion. Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said although many Australians can claim clothing and laundry expenses, it's unlikely that half of all taxpayers are required to wear uniforms, protective clothing or occupation-specific clothing to earn their income. "Last year a quarter of all clothing and laundry claims were exactly at the record-keeping limit", Ms Foat said. "But don't think that we won't scrutinise a claim because we don't require receipts". She also said the ATO does not ignore incorrect claims 'just because they are small, because small amounts add up". The ATO is also concerned about the number of people claiming deductions for conventional clothing, such as retail workers claiming normal clothes "because their boss told them to wear a certain colour, or items from the latest fashion clothing line", or others claiming normal clothes because they only wear them to work. TheATO's sophisticated data analytics is constantly improving and can identify unusual claims by comparing taxpayer claims to others in similar occupations. Taxpayers who can't substantiate their claims should expect to have them refused, and may be penalised for failing to take reasonable care when submitting their tax return. See more
