【省省】澳洲刷卡手续费下周全面取消!
从 2026 年 10 月 1 日起,澳大利亚商家一般不能再因为顾客使用信用卡、借记卡或 eftpos 而额外收取“card surcharge(刷卡手续费)”。 这是澳大利亚储备银行(RBA)支付体系改革的一部分。 先举一个最直观的例子 假设你去餐厅消费: 菜单价格:$100 以前刷 Visa/Mastercard,商家收 1.5% surcharge 最后你支付:$101.50 从 2026 年 10 月 1 日起: 菜单价格:$100 刷卡 surcharge:$0 你支付:$100 Visa、Mastercard 和 eftpos 都会实施禁止 surcharge 的规则;American Express、UnionPay 和 PayPal 也宣布会取消相关 surcharge。 No.1 对普通消费者有什么影响? 1. 刷卡时直接少付一笔 surcharge 这是最直接的影响。 目前大约 16%的澳大利亚企业会收取 card surcharge,所以并不是所有商家都会发生变化。 例如你每年有: $20,000 的消费会产生 surcha

[Change] Card payment surcharges stop from 1 Oct 2026
In Australia, “card payment surcharges stop from 1 October” means that from 1 October 2026, businesses generally cannot charge customers an extra fee simply because the customer pays by card. The change comes from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)'s reforms. The ban covers eftpos, Visa and Mastercard, including credit, debit and prepaid cards. American Express, UnionPay and PayPal have also announced that they will remove surcharging from around the same time. Does this mea

【税务】ATO免抵押贷款不再吸引!那什么时候可以申请免息GIC?
在过去较长的一段时间内,有些企业当ATO是免抵押非金融机构,拖延支付税款,但总是准时支付ATO的利息,通俗地成为“ATO贷款”。 No.1 ATO贷款 自2025年7月1日起,General interest charge (GIC)和shortfall interest charge (SIC)将不再属于可抵税费用。在2025年之前,企业至少还可以就税款欠缴产生的利息申请抵扣(通过公司税率来降低实际成本)。法律的变更规定,逾期缴税产生的利息不得抵扣,这表明此类费用纯粹具有惩罚性/矫正性。客户有时会以“部分利息可通过税前扣除返还”为由,将缴纳GIC视为一种“澳大利亚税务局(ATO)贷款”。 这种"激励"机制现已不复存在:目前产生GIC的税后总成本约为11%,这应具有很强的威慑作用。 No.2 GIC的减免 澳大利亚税务局(ATO)有权在适当情况下酌情减免利息费用。 关于减免的适用规则载于《1953年税务行政法》(TAA53)第8AAG条,该条款基本规定了三种可减免(全部或部分)GIC的情形: (1) 延迟缴税是由于纳税人可控的情况所致(例如,自身

[CRS] 规避CRS,在澳银行开户的错误操作!一次说清楚
在澳大利亚开设银行账户时,银行通常会要求客户提供个人身份资料、税务居民身份(Tax Residency)以及澳洲税号Tax File Number(TFN)等信息。这些要求主要与澳大利亚的税务申报制度以及CRS(Common Reporting Standard,通用报告准则)有关。因此,开户时应根据自己的实际情况如实填写,而不能仅根据国籍、签证或居住地点简单判断。 No.1 税务居民 v.s. 澳洲税号TFN 需要指出的是,拥有澳洲税号Tax File Number(TFN),并不等同您澳大利亚税务居民身份(Tax Residency)。 个人TFN是需要在澳大利亚向税局申报收入及税项的时候才需要有。 No.2 常见操作1:向银行报TFN, 同时报澳大利亚税务居民身份 这种情况下,由于您申报了TFN, 以及申报自己是澳大利亚税务居民身份,您在澳大利亚的CRS及报税状态将是: 您的银行信息不会被交换到其他国家 您的银行利息不会被收取10%的代扣代缴所得税 您的年度个税申报需要就全球收入去申报 风险: 如果您事实上并非澳大利亚税务居民,您的上述申报
