Important Announcements from the ATO

Changes limiting access to non-commercial losses

Changes to the operation of the non-commercial loss rules became law on 14 December 2009. The new rules apply for the 2009-10 and later income years.

The key changes include:

· the introduction of an income requirement of $250,000 to further restrict the circumstances where a business loss can offset other income

· a new exception for business losses caused solely by deductions claimed for the small business and general business tax break

· a new Commissioner's discretion

· ensuring existing Commissioner's discretions continue to apply.

Withdrawal of e-Record

From the 2010-11 income year the Tax Office's record-keeping product, e‑Record will no longer be available.

The product has been reviewed and found to no longer be compatible with current commercial record-keeping systems. It would also need to be redeveloped to keep up with technology and new business directions.

Version 6.2 is the final version of e-Record and is available for download until 30 June 2010.

We encourage e-Record users to consider purchasing record-keeping software by 30 June 2010. To find out more about available software, visit the Software developers homepage.

In light of the ATO's announcement, please contact us at Plant & Associates Pty Ltd to discuss your alternative solutions.
