It is clear that we have entered a recession” that will be worse than in 2009 following the global financial crisis, says IMF Chief. The coronavirus pandemic has driven the global economy into a downturn that will require massive funding to help developing nations. With the worldwide economic “sudden stop,” Georgieva said the fund’s estimate “for the overall financial needs of emerging markets is $2.5 trillion.” Governments in emerging markets, which have suffered an exodus of capital of more than $83 billion in recent weeks, can cover much of that, but “clearly the domestic resources are insufficient” and many already have high debt loads. Over 80 countries, mostly of low incomes, have already have requested emergency aid from the International Monetary Fund. The fund is aiming to beef up its response “to do more, do it better, do it faster than ever before.” The IMF Chief officially requested a increase in the fund’s fast-deploying emergency facilities from their

Image
Very often we are asked if meal expenses incurred while driving Uber, Ola, DIDI or using any other ride sourcing platform are deductible. We’ve noticed a spike in inquiries relating to deduction for meal expenses. In most cases, clients tell us that other accountants are claiming meal expenses on GST returns for ride sourcing and have been told by other accountants that these expenses are deductible. There are some expenses that can’t be claimed because they’re personal expenses or not allowed under the law. This includes personal or private expenses, such as meals you purchase while on a break. Next time, if an accountant tells you that meal expenses incurred while ride sourcing are claimable, ask them to show an ATO weblink confirming the same.

You must include your share of the full amount of rent you earn in your tax return. What happens if Rental Bond is retained in case of tenant default or damage caused to property by the tenant?
