24.01.2022 Why Hire A Bookkeeper? If you started your own business, its likely that youre passionate about running it and concentrating on the tasks you love doing. But if youre like most business owners, youre not so interested in recording all the details of every financial transaction. Thats where bookkeepers come in. They can lighten the load on the business. They can take away the day-to-day recording of receipts, invoices and other transactions.... Bookkeepers are trained and use the same financial recording methods as accountants. They do this so that your accountant can quickly and easily process your financial information.

12.01.2022 WorkCover Queensland - Reporting Workplace Injuries All employers must report injuries sustained by workers for which workers compensation may be payable by their workers compensation insurer. You must report injuries:... regardless of whether the worker makes a claim for workers compensation even if you do not agree the injury is compensable. Reporting the injury is not the same as making a claim for workers compensation. Your insurer will notify you if they receive a workers compensation application from one of your workers. Your insurer will decide if the workers compensation claim is to be accepted or rejected. https://www.worksafe.qld.gov.au/

09.01.2022 CHRISTMAS PARTIES & GIFTS The Tax Truths For Employers Christmas is a time of giving where employers show gratitude towards staff, clients and suppliers. With the right approach, it is possible to enjoy some tax benefits out of your generosity, and also avoid Fringe Benefits Tax.... Gifts to Staff Non-entertainment gifts: Christmas hampers, bottles of alcohol, gift vouchers, pen sets etc., are tax deductible and you can claim GST credits, irrespective of cost. To avoid paying FBT these gifts need to be under $300 in value. Entertainment gifts: tickets to movies, theatre, amusement parks, sporting events, holiday airline tickets etc., which are under $300 will not attract FBT, but are not income tax deductible, and you can not claim GST credits. If over $300, FBT will apply, but a tax deduction and GST credits can be claimed. Gifts to Clients/Customers/Suppliers: No FBT is payable, irrespective of the type of gift and irrespective of cost. However, where a gift constitutes entertainment, no GST or tax deduction can be claimed. Thus, at least from a tax standpoint, it’s better to provide non-entertainment gifts to clients and enjoy a tax deduction and GST credits.

09.01.2022 The Prime Minister has announced the extension and watering down of the wage subsidy, JobKeeper. Existing JobKeeper continues up until 27 September 2020.

We will update you with developments as they happen and full details of payment amounts and the criteria required to qualify further.

01.01.2022 Wage Underpayment Punishable By Jail Time Legislation has now been passed making it a criminal offence for employers to knowingly underpay their staff. Directors and business owners can face jail time! What You Need to Know:... From today, wage theft is a criminal offence in Queensland punishable by up to 10 years in prison for stealing and a maximum of 14 years in jail for an offence of fraud. Workers, or a Union on behalf of a worker, can initiate the process by making a complaint to Queensland Police. The process involves conciliation for cases up to $20,000. Workers, or a Union on behalf of a worker, can initiate a civil claim instead, through a new Industrial Magistrates Court if they choose. What You Need To Do: Ensure your staff are being paid correctly under the relevant Modern Award or enterprise agreement, keeping in mind recent changes to Award minimum rates of pay and conditions Be sure to factor in allowances, overtime and other relevant award or enterprise agreement entitlements to ensure you are paying pursuant to an award or enterprise agreement https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/90198
