18.01.2022 Finding the Right Bookkeeper For Your Business. Its Never Too Late!

17.01.2022 *** Single Touch Payroll for Employee *** Most employees are excited in newly legislated Low- and Middle-Income Tax Offset and want to lodge their income tax returns as soon as possible to access the tax offset. However, some employees will not receive PAYG Payment Summaries due to their employers reported via STP, which have until 31 July to make finalization declaration. Employees should wait to lodge their tax returns until Tax Ready is marked in Income Statement in th...eir MyGov accounts. If they lodge their tax returns with Not Tax Ready data, they may need to amend their tax returns and additional tax may be payable. In some occasions, employers may identify errors in original STP finalization and attend to amendment. If employees lodged tax returns prior to amendment and the amended data result in a refund, the ATO will amend the return and issue amended assessment; if the amended data result in additional tax payable, the ATO will contact the employees to let them know what they need to do. If employees do not have MyGov account, they can create one via my.gov.au. If employees have MyGov account but cant see their income statement, there may be inconsistency with STP data and the record hold with the ATO, such as different TFN reported via STP. If employee has more than one employer, they will still receive a payment summary from employers who are not yet reporting through STP. Employees can always speak with registered tax agent like us to access to their income information. For more information, please contact [email protected]

04.01.2022 *** Single Touch Payroll (STP) for Employer *** If the employers already use STP during 2019 financial year, they will no longer need to provide PAYG payment summaries to their employees or lodge annual report to the ATO, they will need to finalize declaration within STP software. Once the finalization is made, it will be called as Income Statement and displayed as Tax Ready via employees MyGov account linked to ATO online service.... Employers normally needs to make the finalization declaration by 14 July each year. However, the employers have extended due date until 31 July 2019 to finalize 2019 STP. If the employers identify the need to amend details after making a finalization declaration, they can amend the finalized STP data thought their STP software. The amended data will update Tax Ready Income Statement. If employers are unable to make a finalization declaration by 31 July, they will need to apply to the ATO for extension.

03.01.2022 *** Tax deductibility and PAYG Withholding & Reporting *** From 1 July 2019, if PAYG withholding rules require a business to withhold and report an amount from a payment to employees and contractors, and they fail to do so, they cannot claim tax deduction on the payments. Those payments are: Salary, wages, commissions, bonuses or allowances to ... employee Directors fees To a religious practitioner Under a labour hire arrangement To contractors who supply services and has not provided ABN. A business will not lose tax deduction if they correct their mistakes by lodging a voluntary disclosure form to the ATO as soon as possible. Those mistakes could be: Withhold incorrect amount by mistake Should have withheld a PAYG amount but didnt Withheld a PAYG amount but didnt report any amount to the ATO. If a business honestly believes their employee is acting as a contractor, and so believe they are not obliged to withhold PAYG tax from payments as the contractor has provided their invoices and ABN, a business will not lose their deduction on the payment. Again, the business can correct their mistake by lodging a voluntary disclosure in the ATO approved form. As Single Touch Payroll rolls in for majority small business owners from 1 July, a business must electronically report the PAYG withheld and super liabilities to the ATO every time an employee is paid. Dont be caught out by non-deductibility of payments and administrative penalties due to non-compliance of PAYG withholding and reporting obligation!

So, what is SMSF? SMSF stands for Self Managed Super Fund. As the name suggested, it is managed by yourself and you take control of investment decisions and your own retirement funding. An SMSF must be run for the sole purpose of providing retirement benefits for you, as a member or your dependants. Early access without meeting the requirements of SIS regulation/act is prohibited. SMSFs are regulated by the ATO. SMSFs need to lodge annual tax return to the ATO once its financial reports are audited by a registered SMSF auditor. There are two types of SMSFs: Single member SMSFs, Non-single member SMSF, up to four members. For a single member SMSF, it can be set up with a corporate trustee with a sole director also a member; or generally speaking, at least two individuals as trustees.
