24.01.2022 Please be aware a lot of scams are circulating at this time of year. One of our clients even had the scammer say they were calling from our office! If you have any concerns about calls claiming to be from the ATO saying you owe money, threatening to have you arrested or anything similar, hang up immediately and let us know. ... You can also report it to the ATO directly: https://www.ato.gov.au//identity-/verify-or-report-a-scam/

24.01.2022 ***INSTANT ASSET WRITE OFF EXTENDED*** On 9 June 2020, the government announced it will extend the $150,000 instant asset write-off until 31 December 2020. This proposed change is subject to the parliamentary process and is not yet law. Under the current law, eligibility for the instant asset write-off has been expanded to include businesses with an aggregated turnover of less than $500 million (up from $50 million) from 12 March until 30 June 2020.... If you've purchased or are planning to purchase assets for your business, you may be eligible to claim an immediate deduction for assets less than $150,000. The following tips can help you get your instant asset write-off claim right: **check if you're an eligible business **both new and second-hand assets can be claimed, provided each asset costs less than $150,000 ** assets must be first used or installed ready for use between 12 March and 30 June 2020 ** a car limit applies to passenger vehicles. The limit is $57,581 for the 201920 income tax year **if your asset is for business and private use, you can only claim the business portion **different eligibility criteria and thresholds apply to assets first used, or installed ready for use, prior to 12 March 2020.

16.01.2022 ***JOBKEEPER SCAM*** The ATO is receiving reports of scammers pretending to be from the ATO calling members of the public and asking them to provide their bank account details. They are telling them that their employer has registered them for the JobKeeper Payment, but that the ATO needs their bank account details to deposit the funds into their account. PLEASE DO NOT PROVIDE the information requested. ... Employees that are eligible for JobKeeper payments will be paid by their employer and the ATO will reimburse their employer for these payments. The ATO does not need the bank account details of individual employees. If you are not sure whether an ATO call is legitimate, hang up and phone the ATO directly on 1800 008 540 to check.
