💡Income Types - 2
As we talked about assessable income, there’s one category called “ordinary income”. In this item, there’s three different types. We talked about the first type “Personal Service and Exertion Income” last time, let’s dive into the other two, shall we?
Please have a look at the second picture - “Property Incom”
✨ Rent - Be careful of the rent reported in a financial year will render your property as an investment property. In this case, when you sell your property later on, there may have capital gain tax issues arose.
✨ Interest - Even the interest has not been credited to your account, so long as you have instructed to reinvest the interest, the interest will be assessable. This is true although only income received is assessable.
✨ Dividends - Same as above, even you choose not to receive cash for the dividend rather reinvested for more shares, the value of the interest will still be assessable in the year of income generated. The imputation credit along with the franked dividends will also be part of the assessable income.
Next, please have a look at the third picture - “Business Income “
✨ Sole trader business - All profit made from your running of a small business.
✨ Partnership - The share of profit from the partnership will be assessable to the partner while the partnership itself not liable to pay income tax.
✨ Companies - Even a company totally controlled by you, company is a separate legal entity, you and the company are separate taxpayers. As a company director, you may have salary, wage, director fee etc that formed personal service and exertion income. As a shareholder, you may have dividends from the company.
✨ Trusts - Most of them are family discretionary trusts, units trusts and various purpose trusts. When consider to save tax, it is necessary to plan ahead before the year end trust profits appropriations.
✨ Combinations - This one is out of the touch of general public who has limited tax knowledge, time and resource of managing the tax affairs.
