24.01.2022 If your business produces or purchases stock for the market, youll likely need to do at least one stocktake at the end of the financial year for tax reasons. You should do your stocktake as close to the end of the financial year as practical. If you choose not to stocktake, your records should still include what you estimated your stock variation to be and how you arrived at your estimate.

22.01.2022 Employers have up to 16 November 2020 to update their payroll systems to reflect the changes to the personal income tax thresholds for the 2020-21 income year. The ATO has published the updated PAYG withholding tax tables to be used to work out employees’ take home pay. These apply to payments made on and from 13 October 2020, but employers have been given additional time to adjust their processes.

22.01.2022 PRACTICAL TIP Gathering information on decline in turnover. One of the primary tests for determining whether a business qualifies for the JobKeeper Scheme and, hence JobKeeper Payments, is the decline in turnover test . Ultimately, it is up to each business to self-assess whether it satisfies this test. In most cases, businesses will be required to make a reasonable estimate of their turnover for a month or a quarter.... To assist with this process, the ATO (according to Treasury) will be providing guidance in this regard shortly. In the meantime, it would be prudent for businesses to start collating relevant information (e.g., interim accounts, monthly sales reports and prior year BASs) to get ready for comparison calculations. Please Note: Many of the comments are general in nature and anyone intending to apply the information to practical circumstances should contact us on 45786088 to verify their interpretation and the informations applicability to their particular circumstances.

15.01.2022 Reminder for employers Finalise STP data for 2020 Employers who report through Single Touch Payroll (STP) which should be all employers, unless an exemption or deferral applies that they will need to finalise payroll information for the 2020 income year by making a declaration. The due date for making finalisation declarations is:... 14 July 2020 for employers with 20 or more employees; and 31 July 2020 for employers with 19 or fewer employees. Employers that finalise through STP are not required to provide payment summaries to employees and lodge a payment summary annual report to the ATO. Instead, employees will be able to access their payroll information (for preparation of their 2020 tax return) through a registered tax agent.

14.01.2022 Jobkeeper Q&A - Question 2: Do businesses have to meet the decline in turnover test on an ongoing basis? The answer is No. Whilst a business must satisfy the decline in turnover test in order to be entitled to a JobKeeper Payment, once it is satisfied, there is no requirement to retest in later JobKeeper Payment fortnights.... That is, the decline in turnover test only needs to be satisfied once. As a result, if a business can demonstrate that its turnover has been adversely impacted by at least 30% (or 50%, as the case may be), then it will continue to meet this requirement even if its turnover subsequently recovers in later JobKeeper fortnights. Please Note: Many of the comments are general in nature and anyone intending to apply the information to practical circumstances should contact us on 45786088 to verify their interpretation and the informations applicability to their particular circumstances.

10.01.2022 Instant asset write-off extended to 31 December 2020 The government will extend the $150,000 instant asset write-off for six months to 31 December 2020. Australian businesses with annual turnover of less than $500 million will be able to take advantage of this extended time frame to invest in assets to support their business as the economy reopens and coronavirus health restrictions continue to ease. Legislative changes will be made to give effect to this measure.

10.01.2022 Jobkeeper Q&A - Question 1: Can a sole trader who has employees also qualify for the JobKeeper Payment? The answer is Yes. On the basis that the sole traders business has satisfied all the other requirements to qualify for the JobKeeper Payment, a sole trader can qualify for the JobKeeper Payment in relation to their eligible employees and also qualify for the JobKeeper Payment themselves (i.e., in their own capacity) as an eligible business participant.... In order words, a sole traders entitlement to the JobKeeper Payment as an eligible business participant arises independently of their entitlement to the JobKeeper Payment in respect of their employees. Therefore, whether a sole trader has any employees or not will not impact on their ability to personally qualify for the JobKeeper Payment.

06.01.2022 TIP Jobkeeper ATO concession for the first two JobKeeper fortnights. In the event that an employer does not meet the wage condition (i.e., they have not paid an eligible employee a minimum amount of $1,500 in the fortnight), then they have not met all the requirements to be entitled to the JobKeeper Payment. However, the Commissioner does have the power to treat a particular event (e.g., a payment) that happened in a fortnight as having happened in a different fortnight i...f the Commissioner believes that it is reasonable to do so. In this regard, the ATO has advised that for the first two fortnights (i.e., the fortnights ending 12 April 2020 and 26 April 2020), it will accept the minimum $1,500 as being paid in each fortnight, even if it has been paid late, provided it is paid by the end of April. As such, the ATO has effectively granted businesses an extension of time to pay the required $1,500 per fortnight to their eligible employees for the purposes of meeting the JobKeeper Payment requirements. Please Note: Many of the comments are general in nature and anyone intending to apply the information to practical circumstances should contact us on 45786088 to verify their interpretation and the informations applicability to their particular circumstances.
