23.01.2022 I love reporting on Ashok Parekh’s annual speech at his Diggers and Dealers cocktail party at The Palace Hotel My summary of Ashok’s speech: Began with Last ...year when I gave my speech I had black hair, and look at me today, I have grey hair, a humorous indication of the past year. Congratulated Premier Mark McGowan, Ben Wyatt and the State Labor Party for their decisions and strong leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Congratulated Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Federal Liberal Party for their leadership and revolutionary financial decisions during the past year, and commended their recent budget tax packages. Congratulated City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Mayor John Bowler, CEO John Walker and councillors for their efforts to reduce FIFO workers and to encourage companies to live in the Goldfields. The recent best news of the Northern Star and Saracen merger, led by Goldfields boys Raleigh Finlayson and Bill Beament. Predicted many more mergers and consolidations to follow. Tesla’s discussions with the state government, for the supply of nickel looking very promising for the Goldfields economy. Horizon Minerals’ new Goldfields gold mine now in production and thanked his fellow directors Jon Price and Peter Bilbe. More positive news including Lynas’ plans and other major developments. Due to the border closures, the boost of Western Australian travel encouraging an influx of visitors to our region. Acknowledged the need for us all to look out for each other’s mental and physical health. FIFO is still an issue in the Goldfields, as is staffing issues to accommodate the growth, and we need the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, mining companies and local businesses to work together as Team Goldfields. Ashok also thanked his close business associates and personal friends, and finished with a toast to all unite and work together as Team Goldfields. The event is co-hosted by Ashton George of EBM and his team were duly thanked for their efforts and loyalty to the company. #teamgoldfields #goldmining #PositiveNews #diggersanddealers

20.01.2022 {APPRECIATION} Just over two years ago I opened up the Bunbury office as a place where I could see some of my clients from the area that had previously been travelling to Mandurah to see me or doing everything remotely via phone and email. I’ll be able to handle all the reception and admin here on my own I thought. One week into tax time I was fully booked and doing up to 15 clients a day trying to greet, book appointments, take payments and return calls. I needed hel...p ASAP and was lucky to have Elle and Sheree start the next day. With NO experience working in an accounting firm, the girls hit the ground running and picked everything up quick smart in the craziest time of the year. Fast forward two years and they are my right hand women still and killing it as the A Team! Thankyou Elle and Ree - Happy 2 year work anniversary See more

13.01.2022 The $550 Coronavirus Supplement is taxable. This means you need to include it as income in your 2019/20 tax return. Some of you have asked us how you can have ...tax deducted from the Coronavirus Supplement each fortnight. We’ve recently made an update to make this easy for you. From 25 May, if you’ve asked us to withhold tax from your income support payment, we’ll now deduct your nominated dollar amount or percentage from the combined total of your income support payment and the Coronavirus Supplement. For example, if you get $100 of JobSeeker Payment and the $550 Coronavirus Supplement, we’ll deduct tax from the combined amount of $650. If you’ve chosen to deduct a dollar amount of tax from your income support payment, you may want to check and decide if you need to update it to cover the extra income. If you were paying a percentage of tax on your income support payment, you don’t need to do anything. This will be applied to the combined total of your income support payment and the Coronavirus Supplement. You can check how much you’re currently having deducted and decide if you need to update this. If you’re unsure how the Coronavirus Supplement will impact how much tax you need to pay, you can use the tools on the Australia Taxation Office website to help you: https://www.ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/Host/ To find out more about setting up a tax deduction on your income support payment, watch the video below or there’s more information here: servicesaustralia.gov.au/taxonapayment
