Instant asset write-off

资产即时冲销的起点和期限已连续几年延长.  它一直是为了刺激经济活动和鼓励企业投资. 这项预算的结果无疑扩大了这方面的范围, 但现在看来,本财政年度确实有三个门槛, assuming the measure passes into law.

根据预算公告,2019和2020财政年度适用以下规定:

The Government will defer the start date of the 2018-19 Budget measure, 税务诚信-澄清7A分部诚信规则的运作, from 1 July 2019 to 1 July 2020.  7A司的变动已在过去几次预算中宣布,现在将合并到2020年7月1日起实施的一揽子计划中.

Following a Board of Taxation review and series of recommendations, 政府于2018年10月发布了一份咨询文件,征求利益相关者对《澳门赌场官网》第7A节修正案的拟议实施方法的意见.  利益相关者的反馈强调,这是税法的一个复杂领域,提出了需要进一步考虑的实施问题.

将开始日期推迟12个月,将有更多时间就这些问题进一步咨询利益相关者,并完善政府的实施方法, 包括确保适当的过渡安排,使纳税人不会受到不公平的歧视.

Incentives, grants & exemptions
