NTAA Corporate Newsletter-February 2007

 

 
 

**** HAPPY NEW YEAR ****

Welcome to 2007!  Already we are into February - where does the time go?  We hope you all had a safe and happy Holiday period.

Please take 5-10 minutes out of your busy day to read over our first newsletter for the year - I'm sure you will find something of interest.  As always, we are here to help with any queries you may have.  You can contact us by phone 03 9209 9799 or toll free 1800 700 666, by fax 1300 361 816 or by email ntaacorporate@interprac.com.au.  If you are sending something through the mail - please find our mailing addresses at the bottom of this newsletter.

* NEW PRODUCT *
We are now able to provide Personal Self Managed Superannuation Funds in-house.  This we can offer to our valued members at a great price of $275 incl. GST (note that we continue to offer DBA Superannuation Fund deeds, sourced from DBA Lawyers upon request).

 

If you have been with us for a while, you will know that we try to keep our prices as competitive as possible whilst retaining the highest quality, (e.g., other products we offer in-house include companies ($610), trusts ($220) and partnership agreements ($140-$275) and we are pleased that we can add Superannuation Funds to our in-house products.

 

Our new Superannuation Fund trust deeds have been drawn up by a well-regarded law firm, and they comply with the most current Superannuation Fund laws.  We also periodically have the deed externally reviewed to ensure it is state of the art.  As noted above, we continue to offer DBA Superannuation Fund deeds, which remain of the highest quality.  We simply now offer our members the choice of two quality deeds!

 

If you would like to order online, please visit www.interprac.com.au/corporate and either buy securely online, or download the order form straight to your computer.  Alternatively, please call us and we can fax or email you a copy.

WEBSITE
Our website is constantly being improved with new products and services, and we strive to always make it as user friendly as possible.   If you have the time, check it out at www.interprac.com.au/corporate.  From here you can place secure online orders and download order forms.

NEW COMPANY - ORDER FORMS
Please bear in mind, when filling out new company order forms, if your client does not have a street number for their address, then ASIC require a property name or a lot number.  We will, however, call you if there is any mis-matching with addresses as we check these before registering to avoid rejections for company registrations.

Most of you would already be aware that we always require all directors to sign on application before we can register your company with ASIC.  This is a statutory requirement (refer to S.201D of the Corporations Act 2001), and the company commits an offence if it does not have the written consent of all directors and secretaries before registration - please refer to http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca2001172/s201d.html for more information.

SIGNATURES
Just a quick reminder - with all orders you send in by mail, fax or email, we require that you have credit card details signed (if you forget we can get this over the phone).  And most importantly, we ask that you please ensure you read the acknowledgement on the front of each order form, then sign where asked beside your contact details - we cannot accept this over the phone.

TAX INVOICES ISSUED BY AN UNREGISTERED AGENT OF A SUPPLIER
The ATO has confirmed that an agent, acting on behalf of a supplier that is registered for GST, can issue a valid tax invoice with its own name and ABN on the invoice rather than the supplier’s, even if the agent is unregistered for GST.
That is, there is no requirement that the agent be registered for GST.
Example
A company acts as an agent of a partnership of discretionary trusts.

The partnership is registered for GST.

 

The agent is not registered for GST or required to be registered for GST, but does have an ABN.

 

The agent makes a taxable supply of $1,000 or more to a recipient on behalf of the partnership.

 

The agent issues the recipient of the supply with an invoice that contains:

·         the price for the supply;

·         the words ‘tax invoice’ stated prominently;

·         the date of issue of the tax invoice;

·         the name of the recipient;

·         the address or ABN of the recipient;

·         a brief description of each thing supplied; and

·         the total amount of GST payable.

 

However, instead of setting out the partnership’s name and ABN, the invoice sets out the agent’s name and ABN.

 

This is a valid tax invoice, even though the agent is not registered for GST, because the ATO accepts that the tax invoice contains all of the required information.

 

Note: If the agent did not have an ABN, it could still issue a valid tax invoice if it included the partnership’s name and ABN as the supplier and issuer.

 

Yours sincerely
