You’ve probably been asked this question before, but does the government tax you for your commissions? If so, how?

i do pay taxes on my income yes, the 'how' is bit of a long and boring answer though so im going to put it under the cut (fyi im in australia so my info is only applicable to australians)

-first off, in australia you have a tax-free threshold of about $18,500, govt doesnt really seem to care if you report your earnings under that or not, idk though you should check whether or not you legally Have To. better to stay on the tax mans good side.

-i have an accountant who does the maths and lodges my taxes for me, all i have to do is payg the ATO an amount of money 4 times a year based on my reported earnings

-i report my earnings once a year around july-ish, but if you have a tax agent i believe the ATO tends to give you more leeway on When exactly you do your annual taxes

-i am a registered sole trader, this means that while i run a business, i don't have employees other than myself, so i dont pay the taxes business owners with employees would.

-businesses that make over 70k aud/year have to pay GST, which is a 10% tax on all sales within australia. this does not affect my customers abroad and it does mean my australian customers get a special invoice :)

-if you hold onto your receipts, you can get certain things as a tax write off, ex. new work computer, new drawing tablet, office chair, as long as it is justifiably related to your business and you dont abuse it, on the off chance you get audited youll be safe as houses

-see if any charities you donate to can be tax write-offs too. thats just general advice but plenty of charities are tax deductible so go crazy.

How can you complain about living in NZ when some of us literally live in America lol

TW for mentions of mental health, suicide, sexual abuse, abuse, violence, family harm and other topics that may be very upseting for people.

As of 2021, Aotearoa NZ ranks at 35th out of 41 developed countries for child wellbeing outcomes (x).

One in six New Zealand women experience sexual violence from an intimate partner during their lifetime. Child sexual abuse rates: 1 in 5. Non-partner sexual assault: 1 in 14. (x)

Research suggests that one in three (33%) of New Zealand women have experienced physical or sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime. When psychological abuse is added (where economic harm sits), it increases to one in two (55%). One in eight men reported being victims of family violence. Gay, lesbian and bisexual adults experience intimate partner physical and sexual violence more than twice as often as other New Zealanders. (x)

One in three (29%) young people (15-19) reported being hit or harmed by a partner and up to 60% of high school students are recorded as having been in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship. (x)

As of 2017, New Zealand has the highest rate of teen suicide in the OECD. New Zealand has the 6th highest teen pregnancy rate in the OECD. New Zealand has the 7th highest rate of child homicide in the OECD. (x)

New Zealand’s youth suicide rate for adolescents aged 15-19 years was reported to be the highest of 41 OECD/EU countries. (x)

One in four New Zealand workers is flourishing. (x)

Bullying is quite common in workplaces across Aotearoa. Nearly two in ten respondents of the 2020 Workplace Barometer Survey said they had experienced bullying and nearly 40% had seen others being bullied. Another report from the same year revealed that 84% of surveyed workers had experienced cyber abuse, and 48% more than one form of it. 75.5% didn’t report the abuse to their organisation, believing it wouldn’t make a difference. (x)

A survey of Australian and New Zealand workplaces by Hays found that 56% of respondents felt their chance of being accepted for a job was lowered because of their sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, gender or disability, and 63% felt the same about their chances for career progression. (x)

As of June 2022, 1 in 9 (12.0 %) of New Zealand children lived in low-income households that had less than 50 percent of the median equivalised disposable household income before deducting housing costs. 1 in 7 (15.4%) children lived in low-income households that had an after-housing-costs income that was less than 50 percent of the baseline year’s median after-housing-costs equivalised disposable household income. 1 in 10 (10.3%) children lived in households experiencing material hardship. A household is experiencing material hardship if they are going without six or more of 17 items most people would regard as essential. (x)

As of June 2022, average annual household income from wages and salaries increased from $72,794 to $79,128 (8.7%), average annual household income (gross) increased from $111,168 to $117,126 (5.4%) average annual household equivalised disposable income (after tax and transfer payments) increased from $50,561 to $53,031 (4.9%. ) 32.2 percent of households perceived their income as ‘not enough’ or ‘only just enough’ (no change). (x)

And just to drive home what I'm saying above, $79,128 NZD (annual household income in wages/salaries) is $48,455 USD or $45,604.63 in the Euro.

As of June 2022, average weekly expenditure on total rent payments increased from $391.50 to $410.90 (up 5.0%). (x)

Research released June 2021 shows that 93 percent of Māori in Aotearoa experience racism every day, and even more - 96 percent - say racism is a problem for their whānau. (x)

Aotearoa New Zealand has had a very long struggle with high rates of domestic violence, suicide, poverty (particularly child poverty), mental health and addiction crisis on top of the cost of living - which is currently high everywhere but people tend to forget that we also have 1) a mildly shitty conversion rate when you look at places like the States and Britain and 2) the added costs of shipping and transport when you're on an island in the middle of nowhere. These are tiny snapshot of statistics that reflect the reality of life here.

While a lot of people seem to think that this country is a much better place than their own western nation, the reality is that Aotearoa NZ is also built on all the shitty ideals that dog everywhere else + there isn't even easing of financial strain to live here.

As she wraps up the US leg of her Eras tour in LA, Taylor Swift has given farewell gifts to the crew and support staff who brought her show to life. This isn’t uncommon; performers regularly give end-of-tour bonuses or gifts.

What is unusual is the amount. Swift has given a total of $US55 million ($84 million) to hundreds of her staff, including the road crew, caterers, dancers, and truckers. (The truckers reportedly received about $US100,000 each, along with handwritten notes of appreciation.)

It’s a fantastically generous gesture but, of course, Swift can afford to give some of her fortune away. The Eras tour is grossing almost $US13 million a night – a night! – and is expected to surpass $US1 billion. Swift herself is worth about $US740 million, according to Forbes, and is only getting richer as the Eras tour continues.

But plenty of people can afford to give money away, and many of them do not. We hear fairly regularly about senior executives in profitable companies receiving huge bonuses, but how much of the profit trickles down to coalface staff? How many Australian truckers or data-entry clerks or admin assistants are receiving significant bonuses when an organisation does well? (And please don’t mention billionaire Gina Reinhart’s $4.1 million in staff “bonuses”; giving $100,000 each to only 41 staff chosen in a lottery is more a PR strategy than a genuine profit share.)

No one can build a multimillion-dollar company without enormous support from staff. That goes for Australian CEOs on $5 million or $20 million salaries. No one can be the queen of a hive without worker bees.

When rich people buy into the myth of meritocracy, they develop a sense of entitlement to their own wealth. They don’t feel the need to pass on their good fortune or their profits because they believe they have earned it all themselves.

Netflix’s Ted Sarandos rakes in $US40 million while writers and actors strike for the right to fair pay. In Australia, meanwhile, philanthropic giving declined in 2022 by 2.3 per cent on the previous year. And only 15 of the donors who made The Australian Financial Review’s Philanthropy 50 List last year were also on the AFR 2022 Top 200 Rich List.

The Centre for Social Impact analysed tax office data last year and found that only 2 per cent of top earners donated more of their income than did lower-income earners. More than half of top earners reported no tax-deductible donations or gifts at all in 2018-2019.

Taylor Swift’s generosity is admirable. The bonuses she distributed will be genuinely life-changing for some crew members. But it is truly sad that sharing profits with staff is so extraordinary. No one builds an empire without help, and no one amasses a multimillion-dollar fortune on their own steam.

Car and Equipment Finance For Businesses

Whether it's a car, truck or machinery, business vehicle and equipment finance provides flexible loan repayment terms to help you buy the assets your business needs. It can also be structured with an end balloon or residual payment to lower the regular payments if you need to manage cash flow.

Commercial Vehicles

Whether you need a new fleet of commercial vehicles or specialised equipment for your business, our team can help. We work with a wide range of lenders that offer car and equipment finance Sydney products that can be tailored to your needs.

Generally, all businesses from large companies to sole traders can get business car loans, provided you have an ABN, use the vehicle for business purposes, and can meet the lender’s criteria. Business loans can also include additional features like tax deductions and flexible repayment options like weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

ANZ offers various options to finance your business assets, including chattel mortgage, hire purchase and lease purchase. We can assist you, in conjunction with your accountant or tax advisor, in determining which financing type will be most beneficial to your business operations and cash flow. The best option is based on several factors including:

Construction Equipment

Whether you need a dental chair for your practice or a dump truck for your construction company, equipment and vehicle finance allows businesses to acquire the tools they need without exhausting their existing lines of credit. This loan type usually involves financing 80% to 100% of the equipment cost with monthly repayments (including interest) over a set term.

Lenders typically ask for an active ABN or ACN, federal tax file number and financial records to assess a business’s health and cash flow. This compilation streamlines the application process and instils confidence in lenders that a business is ready to access equipment.

Providing security for an equipment loan helps to minimise risk and lower interest rates. This could be the equipment itself, a deposit or other forms of security such as a personal guarantee. Generally, businesses that offer equipment finance are required to hold an Australian credit licence unless they are exempt. However, this isn’t always necessary.

Machinery

Equipment finance (also known as commercial loans or business leases) can be used to finance any tangible assets you need for your operations. This includes vehicles, machinery, technology and tools.

Depending on the size of your business, you might need specialised equipment to meet your needs. These can range from earthmoving machines to medical and dental equipment. These costs can add up quickly and put a dent in your cash reserves.

Business equipment finance is designed to allow you to update your fleet and increase your productivity without a large upfront cost. Our team will assist you as you explore your options.

We can help you choose the best option for your business, including chattel mortgages and hire purchase. These options let you keep your other assets and cash flow debt-free, and also enable you to claim GST back in the BAS cycle of each purchase.

Agricultural Equipment

Agricultural equipment is any type of machinery used in agriculture to perform tasks like cultivating, harvesting, planting, and even transporting. Some examples include tractors, harvesters, animal feed mixers, field-wide weed removers and more. These machines help farmers grow more food in less time, which is essential for feeding a growing world population.

Purchasing equipment can be expensive and often requires substantial cash reserves. To reduce the impact on your business and cash flow, equipment finance offers a flexible repayment structure. Repayments can be matched to periods of higher business activity and you only own the equipment once it’s paid off.

From vehicles to coffee machines and everything in between, ANZ has a range of equipment financing options for businesses of all shapes and sizes. To find out more, talk to one of our local business bankers today.

The Crucial Function of an Income Tax Accountant: Handling Your Economic Prospects

An income tax accountant and their duty are more important than ever in the constantly changing world of personal and commercial finances. A competent income tax accountant may be a useful partner in navigating the complexity of the tax system, whether you're an individual attempting to maximise your tax return or a business owner looking to minimise your tax burden.

Since a tax return accountant in Melbourne may be a complicated and subtle process, getting to know your tax adviser is beneficial. When tax season approaches, your tax advisor will already be well-versed in your financial circumstances and equipped to offer you customised tax guidance to optimise your financial gains.

Employ a Reputable Tax Preparer to Help Your Business Expand

For every business, hiring an accountant is a smart investment. Accountants can help you save money and time since they are tax specialists. You may get tailored financial guidance, tax planning, and support during tax audits if you've got an accountant on your side.

Additionally, they handle tax accounting and filing while providing year-round support and making sure you maintain compliance. Accountants deal with income tax and GST audits from the Australian Taxation Office. They guide with the filing of company activity statements, payroll tax returns, fringe benefit tax returns, small-company CGT concessions, and a host of other tasks.

Think About Tax Relief with Review Before Submitting

Tax credits directly lower your tax liability, as opposed to deductions that lower your taxable income. To optimise your return, familiarise yourself with potential credits. Verify personal information, double-check figures, and make sure all required paperwork is included.

By paying close attention to details, processing delays may be avoided and audit risk can be reduced. When in doubt, consult a knowledgeable tax return accountant for advice. They can handle complicated tax rules, optimise your return, and offer tailored advice depending on your financial circumstances.

Accountants for income taxes are essential for organising and minimising your tax liabilities. Working with a certified tax accountant may offer priceless help and peace of mind, whether you're an individual trying to maximise your tax refund or a business trying to handle your tax payments efficiently.

"So far as the US is concerned, next to nothing has been done in compliance. Indeed, US state and local governments continue to invest billions of dollars in Israel Bonds, an investment vehicle that directly supports the Israeli government. Tax deductible US dollars flow to settler organizations. Tankers of American jet fuel primarily used for military aircraft continue to be shipped to Israel from Texas. All that of course is in addition to all the arms shipped.  As for the possible future, we have Vice-President Harris, when asked what she would do re Gaza, emphasizing her “unwavering commitment to Israel’s defence and its ability to defend itself”.

Every year, countless Australians make errors on their tax returns, leading to delayed refunds, penalties, or even audits. To help you navigate tax season with confidence, here are some common tax filing mistakes and tips on how to avoid them.

This includes not only your primary salary but also any freelance work, investments, rental income, or government payments. Remember, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) receives information from various sources, so any discrepancies between your reported income and what the ATO knows can trigger an audit. To avoid this mistake, keep meticulous records and cross-check all income sources before filing your return.

2. Overlooking Deductions: While it’s essential to claim all deductions you're entitled to, many people either over-claim or forget to claim legitimate deductions. Common overlooked deductions include work-related expenses, charitable donations, and home office costs. Conversely, over-claiming, such as inflating work-related expenses, can also land you in hot water. To avoid these pitfalls, ensure you have receipts for all claims and consult with a tax professional if you're unsure about eligibility.

3. Incorrect Bank Account Details: After putting in the hard work of filing your tax return, the last thing you want is for your refund to be delayed due to incorrect bank account details. This simple mistake can cause significant frustration and delays. Double-check your account number and BSB to ensure your refund is deposited correctly and on time.

4. Ignoring Important Deadlines: Missing the tax filing deadline can result in hefty fines and interest charges. Many taxpayers procrastinate, leading to last-minute stress and mistakes. Mark the tax filing deadline on your calendar and start preparing your documents well in advance. If you think you might miss the deadline, consider lodging an extension request or engaging a tax accountant to assist you.

Conclusion

Avoiding these common tax filing mistakes can save you time, money, and stress. By being thorough, organized, and proactive, you can ensure that your tax return is accurate and compliant with ATO regulations.

How Can Tax Accountants Help with Payroll Taxes?

Payroll taxes are a critical aspect of business operations, involving both compliance with regulations and effective management of employee compensation. For many businesses, navigating the complexities of payroll taxes can be challenging. Tax accountants play a crucial role in ensuring that payroll taxes are handled accurately and efficiently. Here’s how tax accountants can assist with payroll taxes:

1. Ensuring Compliance with Tax Laws

One of the primary roles of tax accountants is to ensure that a business complies with all relevant tax laws and regulations. Payroll taxes include various components such as income tax withholding, social security contributions, and Medicare levies. Tax accountants stay up-to-date with changes in tax legislation and regulations to ensure that businesses meet their compliance obligations. They help businesses navigate complex tax laws, avoiding potential penalties and legal issues related to non-compliance.

2. Accurate Calculation of Payroll Taxes

Accurately calculating payroll taxes is essential to avoid underpayment or overpayment issues. Tax accountants use their expertise to ensure that all payroll taxes are calculated correctly based on employee wages, deductions, and applicable tax rates. They also handle the complexities involved in calculating taxes for employees in different tax brackets, those with varying benefits, and employees on leave or with special circumstances.

3. Managing Payroll Tax Filing and Payments

Tax accountants are responsible for managing the timely filing and payment of payroll taxes. This includes preparing and submitting payroll tax returns, such as the Business Activity Statement (BAS) and Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding reports, to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). They ensure that payments are made on time to avoid interest and penalties. Tax accountants also keep track of key payroll tax due dates, helping businesses adhere to filing schedules and maintain accurate records.

4. Handling Payroll Tax Audits

In the event of a payroll tax audit, tax accountants provide valuable support. They assist businesses in preparing for audits by ensuring that all payroll tax records are accurate and complete. During the audit process, accountants help address any questions or issues raised by tax authorities. Their expertise in payroll tax matters ensures that the audit process is handled smoothly and efficiently, reducing the risk of adverse outcomes.

5. Implementing Payroll Tax Software

Tax accountants often recommend and implement payroll tax software solutions to streamline the payroll process. These software solutions can automate calculations, ensure compliance with tax laws, and generate accurate payroll reports. By leveraging technology, tax accountants help businesses improve the efficiency and accuracy of payroll tax management, reducing the risk of errors and administrative burdens.

6. Advising on Payroll Tax Strategies

Tax accountants provide strategic advice on payroll tax matters to help businesses optimise their tax position. This includes advising on tax-efficient compensation structures, fringe benefits, and employee remuneration packages. By analysing payroll data and tax implications, accountants offer insights on how to structure payroll to minimise tax liabilities while ensuring compliance with regulations.

7. Training and Support

Tax accountants also offer training and support to in-house payroll teams. They provide guidance on best practices for payroll management, including how to handle various tax scenarios and compliance requirements. By educating payroll staff, tax accountants ensure that businesses have the knowledge and tools needed to manage payroll taxes effectively.

8. Updating Payroll Systems

Tax accountants assist with updating payroll systems to reflect changes in tax laws and regulations. They ensure that payroll systems are configured correctly to calculate taxes accurately and comply with the latest requirements. This proactive approach helps businesses avoid potential issues related to outdated payroll systems.

Tax accountants play a vital role in managing payroll taxes, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and efficiency. Their expertise in tax laws, calculations, filings, and audits helps businesses navigate the complexities of payroll taxes with confidence. By leveraging the skills of tax accountants, such as those accountants Merrylands, businesses can streamline their payroll processes, optimise tax outcomes, and avoid costly errors.
