问关于出差补贴的问题
ATO的例子:
Receiving an allowance from your employer does not automatically entitle you to a deduction. You must still
meet the basic rules listed in the previous column to make a claim. You can claim only the total amount you incurred even if the allowance is more. For example, if you received a tools allowance of $500 and your tool expenses were $400, you must include the whole amount of the allowance at item 2 on your tax return and the deduction you can claim at item D5 is $400.
However, there is an sample that I saw from "Money" Magazine.
Take food allowance as an example,
"the weekly reasonable food component for 07-08 was set at $206 for one adult. of this, the tax office set $42 as the amount an adult normally spends on food, resulting in $164 a week being tax free"
这个例子是不是说,如果雇主给了你ALLOWANCE, 即使你的ALLOWANCE 实际上是没有用完的,剩余部分依然是不需要打税 ?
两个例子好像互相矛盾。
the following comes from ATO
"Reasonable travel allowances and award overtime meal allowances not shown on a payment summary
Payers do not have to show bona fide travel allowances paid for travel away from your home in the course of your duties as an employee or bona fide overtime meal allowances paid under an industrial law, award or agreement on payment summaries unless the allowances exceed the Commissioner’s reasonable allowance amounts. The reasonable overtime meal allowance for the 2007–08 year is $22.60 per meal. If you have received such an allowance and it is not shown on your payment summary, you do not have to include it as income on your tax return providing you have spent all the allowance on deductible expenses and you are not making a claim for expenses relating to the allowance on your tax return "
Pls let me know whether my understanding is correct or not.
我的理解如下:
“如果合理的旅行津贴和加班餐费没有显示在PAYMENT SUMMARY 上
雇主并一定需要在PAYMENT SUMMARY 中列出用于支付雇员旅行工作真实的旅行津贴 以及规定或协议的真实的加班餐费津贴,除非津贴的数额高于政府或行业规定的合理的津贴标准。现在合理的加班餐费的标准是$22.6每餐。如果雇员收到这样一笔津贴,但是这笔津贴并没有显示在雇员的PAYMENT summary 上。如果雇员将这笔津贴已经全部花光了,并且雇员不准备在报税的时候对这笔津贴的花销进行CLAIM的话,雇员在报税的时候并不需要将这笔津贴作为收入来报税。(是不是在这个情况下,其实是由公司报这一笔ALLOWANCE 的支出,个人的话就不需要理会这笔支出了”
我的理解正确吗?
我现在的情况是,公司派我回国出差(可以说是只要是公事,趁机我也都逗留了几天办私事),我的飞机票还有住宿费用都是公司COVER 的,但是我的出差餐费公司没有给我COVER(这也是跟公司协议好的),但是这个餐费是跟工作相关的,我自己有这些工作餐的收据,我可以在个人报税时,将这笔费用纳入与工作相关的旅行费用-D2 Work related travel expenses中进行减税吗?请黄大侠指点,感激不尽。(这里不得不赞一个,黄大侠自己已经是日理千机,还顾着行侠仗义,真是难能可贵。另外,从大侠的背面可以看出大侠是一个型男 ,嫂子有福) |
