Recently, a Chinese couple living abroad, because of divorce to the local court, but unexpectedly exposed a secret, even nearly self-destruction of the future of the sky!
1. The ex-wife sued his ex-husband on court, but revealed a shocking secret.
In 2005, Ms. W and Mr. L married and, ten years later, they chose to separate and file a divorce application with the court.
The couple had two children in their previous marriage.
The two children, together, own 2/3 of the couple's property, while Mr. L owns 1/3 of the house.
Because Ms. W was economically passive in her previous marriage, the court ordered Mr. L to pay $500 a month in spousal support to Ms. W. in a divorce ruling in August last year.
However, Mr. L failed to pay Ms. W's divorce alimony, so, angrily, Ms. W took her ex-husband to court.
Court thought it was an ordinary divorce dispute, but because of Mr. L's reluctance to cooperate, the court had to conduct a financial investigation, and they found that:
The divorced couple are not as "shabby" as they claim, but a "big family" who earns $ two hundred thousand a year!
It turns out that Mr. L and Ms. W run a gardening company together. After the couple married, Ms. W kicked Mr. L out of work early in the morning, working seven days a week during the peak season and working 12 to 14 hours a day. Ms. W also helped weed, fertilize and clean up. With the expansion of their business, the two also employed helpers.
As the business grew bigger, the former husband and wife had reached about 1000 "big" households from the start of 28, but the two had for years never paid goods and services taxes, or paid income taxes;
The court then investigated the workers they hired and found that they had never reported or paid taxes to the tax bureau, and even to avoid taxes, the two had never deposited their income into the bank and used cash to travel!
In the woman's testimony, Ms. W claimed that their gardening company earned as much as $ two hundred thousand a year.
According to preliminary estimates, between 2012 and 2014, companies received a total of nearly $ three hundred and eighty thousand in net income.
But Ms. W has declared zero income to the IRS over the years, and her explanation is: "No job, so no paycheck." -.
2. If you don't know, you don't have to do it.
Then, seeing that he could not hide, Mr. L admitted:
I earn about $21,000 a year, not the $ two hundred thousand Ms W claims!
However, the court later found that Ms. W also withheld her income, one of which is still unknown, rental income of more than $20, 000, but she also did not file taxes on the income.
After corroborating the evidence, the court finally handed down its judgment:
The judgment mentioned that Ms. W and Mr. L had to hand in the taxes they had owed over the years, and that if they refused to cooperate, they would be dealt with in accordance with the rules!
A divorce case, the fact that two couples have been exposed to tax fraud for many years, do not know if Mr. L is so early, how will it be?
But objectively, without the divorce, there would be something else that would have exposed the ex-couple's ugliness. It seems that the old saying: if you don't know, you can't do it!
3. Tax arrears, tax evasion, light fines, heavy repatriation!
You should know that most western countries believe in credit-based, understatement of tax is such a "small intelligence", but in the tax authorities abroad is a serious problem of breach of trust!
Take Australia as an example, we all know that the Australian Inland Revenue Department (ATO) has been chasing after tax defaulting businesses all the time, and even has a special "blacklist" of tax arrears. Many Chinese districts are also on top of them, making many Chinese residents both inexplicable and helpless.
If the Chinese pay their taxes properly, there will be no such trouble if they want to be ignorant of them and do nothing of their own, "he said in a statement that says," if the Chinese pay their taxes properly, there will be no such trouble. "
But if you don't pay taxes according to regulations, default, and tax evasion, then ATO will punish you severely. If you meet a good-talking judge like Ms. W and Mr. L at the beginning of the article, you can just make up for the money and interest.
But if you're not lucky, maybe ATO thinks you're serious, just stop your social benefits, cancel your PR, and let you go to jail for a year, pay a fine of $210-$8050, and return directly after serving your sentence!
At that time, can really "call heaven should not, call the earth does not work"!
The editor would like to remind the vast majority of international students that although there is no PR, it is not an citizen, but as long as you have a legal Australian visa, and as long as you live in Australia for more than 183 days, you are a legal tax resident, and you have to apply for an Australian tax number. And submit a declaration at the end of each financial year.
Soon to July 1, will also come to Australia's tax season. The editor suggests that the working party that does not have time to return tax, had better find professional financial assistance to fill in the tax return; if there is no income or annual income below the "poverty line" of the standard friends, but also had better issue a "no income certificate," just in case!
Finally, I hope everyone will remember the importance of abiding by the rules!
