GST credits for insurance premiums
Generally, GST is charged on insurance policies other than:

? health insurance policies (these are GST-free).
Where GST is included in the insurance premium, include the
price of the premium less the amount of stamp duty at G11
(non-capital purchases).

 MAKING A CLAIM
Under income tax law, if you carry on a business, you can
generally claim a deduction for expenses you incur in carrying
on the business; however, there are some basic rules:
? you must have actually paid or committed to spending
the money
? the expense must be related to your business – you must
be able to show why you needed to spend the money to
carry on your business.

Adapt risk management to fit environment |
|
 Businesses should "attune their antennas" to risk situations that may need close monitoring so GFC mistakes are not repeated, says Australia's Auditor-General.
Ian McPhee told a Risk Management Institution of Australasia (RMIA) ACT chapter conference that businesses needed to implement sound risk management to avoid failing to monitor the changing environment. Firms that avoided significant fallout from the GFC had more adaptive, rather than static, risk management processes and systems that could rapidly change to reflect changing circumstances.

pay on this basis. However, we may ask you to show records
to support your information, so it is important to keep the
necessary records to verify your claims
