1.Various Rental property matters I sold my investment property located in Beijing for equivalent AU$200,000 and paid commission of $5,000 and received my funds in July 2019. I had a friend who said to me 3 months earlier that it was a good time to sell, as I had only purchased this property in March 2015 for equivalent AU$150,000, with $10,000 costs of purchase. So thats when I engaged the real estate agent, and I signed the contract for sale on 1 May 2019. I also incurred a legal cost of equivalent AU$5,000 in defending my entitlement to this property, which was in August 2018. I rented out the apartment for 10 months for $1,000 per month. But I dont have to worry about any of these matters, right? - as I have been a non-resident since my Uni days when I came to Australia in January 2014.
1.Sale of my residence - Settlement has finally come through on the sale of my home. Hooray. You will recall that my parents helped me purchase my apartment in Melbourne in 2012 at a bargain cost of $400,000 and $25,000 for various expenses such as stamp duty and other fees and I sold it for $500,000 and there was another $15,000 expenses on sale for commission and other expenses.. You might remember I spent a year overseas absent, returning to China for a year (1 July 2014 30 June 2015) and during that time I had rented out my property, so I heard I need to pay a share of my CGT Gain as I have used my principal place of residence for business purposes is that right?
1.Insurance compensation and medical expenses - In July 2018 I was injured in a car accident while driving to one of the regional stores and was in hospital for three weeks. Fortunately, my private health insurance policy covered my medical expenses of $3,000. I also received $5,000 compensation from the insurance company for having lost some mobility from the car accident injury, which was promptly paid to me in September 2018.
1.Work expenses As a marketing manager, you would appreciate that image is everything when you do the job. I needed to spend a lot of money looking professional as I didnt wear a uniform like I used to when I was a casual. My Regional Manager encouraged me to improve my image and was very impressed with my deportment. Over the financial year, my grooming expenses totalled $3,000 for hair styling and cutting (very good really as I was a regular customer every week at my hairdresser), make-up of $1000, and the additional clothing I had to buy as I wore clothes that were not cheap another $5,000, which my Regional Manager commented was exactly the image Junnings needed. Of course, I needed to clean my clothes professionally and had them Dry Cleaned and I got a good deal of only $20 per week, so my claim is $960.
1.Car expenses In addition to my regional flight travel, I had to do a lot of metropolitan car travel going to all of the various metropolitan stores. The running costs on my car as advised by my local petrol station amounted to $15,000 for the year, but these were paid for by Junnings, even though I only used the car 50% for business use. I bought my new car at the start of the year costing $20,000 and I would like to claim the entire amount as a deduction, as I heard I can claim an instant write off. Regrettably. I had a slight accident during the year, and I was at fault, which caused me out of pocket expenses of $2,000 to repair the vehicle, as the insurance company would not pay up any contribution.
Thats all I can think of for the moment let me know if you need more information.
But can you please tell me how much tax I owe?
