23.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS FROM SA GOVT: South Australian small and medium businesses affected by Covid restrictions will be eligible for additional financial support under a new jointly-funded package from the state and federal governments.

The package will be funded 50/50 by the Commonwealth and Marshall government, with the state government to administer the program. The new package includes: $3000 cash grants for employing businesses and $1000 for non-employing businesses (sole traders) in eligible industry sectors that have experienced a decline in turnover of 30 per cent or more over a two-week period as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions that started on July 28.

05.01.2022 Heads up to all clients booked in for July, this from the ATO: "Private health insurance providers are no longer required to send end-of-year information directly to policy holders. The details will be included in pre-fill information." But as of right now, that information does not appear on our prefilling (too early in the tax year we are guessing)...... And the prefilling is showing some payment summaries (used to called Group Certificates, now Income Statements...) But not all are there.. So please bring all information along with you for income (including Bank Interest and Shares/Dividends), expenses/deductions and Private Health insurance to ensure we lodge an accurate tax return for you. Thank You. P.S. Also from the ATO "To reduce the risk of mistakes and amendments to tax returns, you should wait until your client's income statements are Tax ready before lodging. Most pre-fill information will be available by mid-August." #willtaxpayerswaituntilmidAugusttolodge? #Asif!
