本人contractor. 两年前申请了soler trader和GST, 我自己以Personal Service Income的名义lodge annual income tax. 大家知道,这样就可以头一年半不用交withholding tax,并且GST也是三个月交一次就可以了. 这样可以增加现金流. 但一年半后, ATO就来信要求交withholding tax(比例比PAYG还不划算). 我现在已经停了soler trader, 但还没有注销.
问题: 如果我注销这个soler trader, 后再开一个新的soler trader, 是不是又头一年半不用交withholding tax? 如果不可行, 有其它办法吗? (比如开个正式的公司)

You cannot deregiste sole trader, once you apply abn and done work under your personal name and abn, you become a sole trader.
you can apply for changing qtrly payg to annual, if you meed certain threshhold
评论
The problem is I don't meet the threshold. (less than $8000 for annual tax) otherwise there would be no hassle here.

my question is how not to pay PAYG installments as a Soler trader?
like you said, I am employee, my employer withholds tax for me, I know that, that is not what I want. I want to hold the PAYG installment to my own pocket till next annual tax lodgement so to increase my cash flow.
评论
are you saying that I can change the instalment to a small amount, e.g. actual income of this quarter is 10k, and I change it to 1k, so only need to pay PAYG instalment = 1k * 35% (suppose the rate is 35%) = 350.
so to avoid paying 10k * 35% ? is this legal and ATO will not question it?

没人知道吗?
评论
its not legal and they will question it, if your income has not changed since the last financial year, (i believe this is the case based on what you said so far). then you cannot vary it to nil to give yourself a greater cash flow. the whole point of the pay as you go system is to collect tax through out the year.
评论
yes, they will question you, probably even fine you for doing this in purpose.

这样做不是做不到 而是会有麻烦。如果你不想先交，可以选择该PAYG Instalment Amount，然后填更改原因为23.但是如果你年底结算需要交的income Tax大大超出你所交的PAYG Instalment 就面临着被罚penalty tax的危险。
评论
那么, 开一个正式的公司怎么样? 也需要交PAYG Installment吗?
