13.01.2022 First most we hope everyone is keeping safe during this challenging times. Secondly we have had a spate of enquiries from Small/medium business owner on How the governments Cash flow boost work in response to COVID-19. Below breakdown for businesses only. 1.First is eligibility requirement (important to note, just because you are a small business does not mean you are eligible). 2.BAS: The payment is made to your business bank account by ATO, when you lodge your Quarterly o...r monthly BAS. The maximum amount is $50k and minimum amount is $10k. So for example you lodge you BAS and you should you have $3k PAYG withheld. ATO will credit you $10k. so you receive $7k in credit. Taking into account of your BAS position with GST. 3.BAS: The other maximum $50k PAYG credit works in this manner; if you have PAYG withheld in your BAS over $10k, E.g. $11k, then you will be eligible for 3 x $11k = $33k as a credit. In the next BAS lodgement you will receive a credit of $17k for your maximum $50k limit. 4.BAS: There is a second round of $50k cash flow boost. Much like the first round. 5.Business Loan from BANK: Because the federal government will guarantee 50% of the loan amount a small/medium business want to borrow from a bank, it will be easier for you to receive business finance without lot of red tapes. 6.$150k asset write off: if your business turnover is less than $10m, You can write off business assets up to the value of $150k either purchased after 12 May 2020 or you pre-owned it since 12 May 2015. 7.Temporarily relief for Statutory demands: Because of the situation many businesses will owe money to their creditors, the gov has increased the minimum amount to $20k. Meaning if your business owes money to a creditor for less than $20k, they cannot initiate legal proceedings against you for a statutory demand and initiate bankruptcy proceedings against you. This will last for 6 months from 12 March 2020 to 12 September 2020. Also temporarily directors will not be personally liable for trading while insolvent for a period of 6 months. Once again as well always say, these are not remedy but just a system to slightly reduce the damage we are all facing. Give us a call on 02 8091 4054 or leave us a message if you require assistance with any of the above.

04.01.2022 Reserve Bank Of Australia has cut interest rate by 0.25 to 1.25. What does it mean for you ? - rates were reduced to give the economy a boost, to increase investment in the economy which will result in increased employment. - If you have a bank loan, your banks may pass on the reduced rate savings to you if you are on variable interest. - If you have large savings deposits, you may now see less interest income.... - Share markets should rally, and if you have investments that would be a positive. - Australian dollar may now fall a little, great news if you sell or export in the international market. But if you import for business or have plans to travel on holidays you may see your dollar go less further. https://www.rba.gov.au/media-releases/2019/mr-19-15.html
