RE: Contracting to a single company

HI Michael, The things you need to ask an account about is "How familiar are you with Personal Services Income workers". That's the ATO term for contractors who earn 100% or nearly 100% of their income from a single source. If you don't have multiple clients then the Tax Office wants you to

Re: Contracting to a single company

As mentioned, there are a lot of factors involved. Things to look at include (but not limited to): - Are you contracting to produce a specific outcome (eg a single project) or are you available to work on anything they want you to? The latter implies employee. - Do you supply your own

RE: Contracting to a single company

Hi Dave, Absolutely! I guess I was trying to convey that direct 50/50 income splitting is what proliferated in the 90's and that's what they're trying to stamp out with PSI ... After all, doing the books of a 1 (oh that's right 2) person company hardly constitutes a full-time job does it J

Re: Contracting to a single company

Hey Trevor, I agree. My point is that if you actually treat your company like a company that could employ a lot of people, just doesn't yet, then you are more likely to be treated as such. If you treat your company as a sham/front then you are likely to be treated as such too. Keep everything comm

How to declare a class refrence as an argument type?

I need to have method with a a signature looking like this RegisterForm( typeof(Form) formType) where the forn type is actually a class refrence ( Delphi parlance, what are class refrences are called in C#?). so I would be able to call it like this : RegiterForm( typeOf(Form1) ); Any further r

Re: How to declare a class refrence as an argument type?

if you need to limit the range of types passed in I tend to use generics with a constraint and typeof() i.e. void RegisterForm() where T : Form { var type = typeof(T); // ... } It also really depends on what you are using the type for I guess. On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 7:45 AM, Arjang Assadi

Re: How to declare a class refrence as an argument type?

Thank you Preet and Joseph, I was trying to avoid using Type, I wanted to see if there is something closer to FormType rather than the generic Type. Same way that that people would avoid using "object" and instead use some type of constraint as is used in genereics. On 30 April 2010 09:48, Josep

RE: Contracting to a single company

Hi folks, You simply can't get away with PSI without serious implications from the ATO. You must earn at least 20% of your income from an independent source - ie no more than 80% from one company (or related company). You can NOT pay your spouse to do "secondary" tasks relating to your

RE: Contracting to a single company

Hi James, But if you are a "one-man company", and you do only have a single client and hence a single source of income, you can simply accept that you are a PSI entity. The only ramification to satisfy the ATO is that you pay the vast majority of your company's income as a single salary (to

RE: Contracting to a single company

Hi Trevor, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "plan how you distribute the income that PSI entity receives"? The entity doesn't get the PSI, you do. You don't have a choice but to "distribute" it to yourself. Apart from the legitimate expenses that the company has it is as if you earnt

Re: Contracting to a single company

Can I make the following observation. I'm from the UK and we had similar legislation (IR39). From what you say personal tool and insurances are covered as legit expenses. Doesn't that cover most thing that you'd claim for anyway. Yes I understand that you cannot distribute profits other than as tax

RE: Contracting to a single company

Hi James, I'm speaking from experience of operating a Pty Ltd company with a single employee (me), with (usually) a single client at a time, and hence a single income stream. By using the term "PSI entity", I mean the company declares that it's income is derived from PSI sources, which changes

ASP.NET SecurityException, global asax handling
