24.01.2022 OK just letting everyone know that the ATO portal is down. The recommendation is to log in later - but we have no guidance as to when later is. Anyone attempting to a)lodge BAS, b) lodge a claim for job keeper or c) inspect the portal for information on their tax return lodgement potential ..... Id say you are going to need to be patient right now.

24.01.2022 If you have staff and wages - and you are expecting to get a cash boost from lodging your March BAS - you better read this ....

24.01.2022 The ATO is starting to get heavy on ensuring you have remembered to lodge a letter of intent to claim a deduction for those excess super payments .....

21.01.2022 If your ATO BOOST payment is slow reaching you - please check with the ATO that they have your bank account details!

21.01.2022 Hi Everyone - It appears that our phone lines are down today - so if you need to ring please call 0418388164 or email/message us and we will get in contact with you.

21.01.2022 Just updated the Available Grants page. Note it is Hobart Centric.

20.01.2022 Life is an adventure - and here we are now learning how to work from home. Ive written a little about what I have learned over the many years I too had to run a business from home.

20.01.2022 Tax time is coming fast - we offer COVID19 Friendly tax return services. Operating via email, phone and digital signing you dont have to leave home to get your tax lodged. We arent into automated systems - everything is processed personally so you can be sure your particular situation is carefully considered. Give us a call

19.01.2022 Food for thought

19.01.2022 Traps for the unwary - claiming work related expenses in 2020. Worth a read before you lodge. https://bloomfieldassoc.com.au//work-related-2020-complet/

18.01.2022 For all of those with child support payments - please do not forget to inform Child Support of any substantial changes in your personal income. Job Keeper and Job Seeker payments are both to be included in your reportable income.

16.01.2022 So business is doing well today - and next week - if you have a reasonable expectation that work is going to do 30% drop compared to last year anytime up until ...September you really need to consider enrolling. If you dont and you have a drop - you cant apply for job keeper after the 31st May and be able to claim for April/May. Sooner you can work what your sales are going to do - the better. See more

16.01.2022 The Department State Growth Grants have been EXTENDED! Now due 5/5/2020

14.01.2022 Director payments have a method for being recognized by ATO for the Boost payments now :)

14.01.2022 UPDATE: ADDITIONAL Rules released from ATO regarding the $10,000 plus BAS Rebate.

11.01.2022 Every year I find that people who have moved from overseas to Australia are not informed about the additional tax benefit available to them due to not being able to access medicare. It can be worth thousands in extra tax refunds in some cases (you would need to be on a large wage for that) but worth knowing about and knowing how to apply for it.

11.01.2022 Low Doc Loans certainly have had their place in the business world. The problem is that - depending on the wording - if you defaulted payment on the loan - the accountant who signed the Low Doc Loan could find themselves as guarantor! It is therefore really important to understand that when your accountant cannot sign these papers its all about the words generally and not so much about you.

11.01.2022 COVID19 Friendly tax support. With digital signing and checklists emailed to you. Combined with phonecalls and Zoom - we are able to provide a professional and friendly tax service when you need it. Contact us!

09.01.2022 Bridging Funding for JobKeeper Australian banks are playing a vitally important role in bridging the finance that businesses need to pay their staff ahead of receiving the first JobKeeper Payment in the first week of May. It is an integrity measure that businesses pay their staff before receiving the JobKeeper Payment.... On 23 April 2020, the Treasurer announced the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), National Australia Bank (NAB), Westpac and ANZ banks agreed to establish dedicated hotlines for their customers to call to receive the bridging finance necessary to pay their staff ahead of receiving the JobKeeper Payment. The hotlines are as follows: CBA: 13 26 07 ANZ: 1800 571 123 NAB: 1800 JOBKEEPER Westpac: 1300 731 073 and Westpacs subsidiaries; St George: 1300 730 196 Bank of Melbourne: 1300 784 873 Bank SA: 1300 669 472 The banks have also agreed to bring to the front of the queue all bridging finance applications. This means any business that is eligible for the JobKeeper Payment can now ring the dedicated hotline for the bank and ask for the bridging finance necessary to pay their staff. The banks know their customers. They know these businesses. The banks need to stand by these businesses in their time of greatest need and that is now. The ATO have also set out detailed guidance on eligibility and enrolment for the JobKeeper Payment. Please visit: www.ato.gov.au/General/JobKeeper-Payment/

08.01.2022 In the age of digital signing - it appears that not all documents can be legally signed this way - such as ASIC papers and SMSF. For further information please read attached:

08.01.2022 pay attention - that $3000 per employee/applicant will NOT arrive unless you have filled in this form which has only just become available. You will need accurate GST turnover for April and a guesstimate for income for May.

07.01.2022 SMSF End of Financial Year Considerations Dont be a goose - get proactive!

07.01.2022 Heads up folks: Job Keeper is up on the ATO portal. If you have employees it works ok at present. REMINDER: FIRST work out if you have a 30% or more dive in your income compared to 2019 same period. Ensure you use provable material to do this - eg: BAS from last year, bank statements etc. ONLY if you are sure you can prove should you attempt to apply.

06.01.2022 Another plain English explanation of the Job Keeper reimbursements for small business.

05.01.2022 ARRGGH and my business website is down for the 1st of July 2020 - just what we needed today! Please contact us through facebook or phone if needed. IT is onto it - but goodness me ....

05.01.2022 My clients are worth every bit of effort I can manage. Always x

05.01.2022 Ive drawn up a bit of a how to guide for those eager to do it themselves. Note: you may need to have your April Turnover figures and employee information at your fingertips when you start.....

05.01.2022 Happy new financial year everyone! Now is the time to get started on preparing all your tax papers ready for completing a tax return. It would be expected a larger number of people will get tax refunds than normal this year due to job keeper. We have checklists especially designed for the 2020 year - just message, ring or email us for a copy!
