21.01.2022 How will the Commonwealth Budget Affect you? The government’s 2014-15 Budget is likely to support business confidence with a range of positive measure, (ie cutting company tax by 1.5% which will help about 800,000 businesses) but the budget is expected to have a negative impact on households and families. Key components of the 2014-15 Budget:...Continue reading

15.01.2022 RATES REMAIN OH HOLD 3/6/2014 NOW IS A GOOD TIME FOR BUDGET BUDDIES TO HELP YOU GO INTO THE NEW FINANCIAL YEAR TO ASSIST YOU BETTER IN YOUR FINANCIAL NEEDS Mixed economic news indicates continuing wait and see approach Housing markets reinvigorating although likely solid prices growth to remain below 2013 levels... The Reserve Bank has decided to leave interest rates on hold over June with the likely prospect that the current settings will remain throughout the remainder of 2014 at least. The Bank has indicated it is taking a wait and see approach and that rates are likely to stay at current levels reflecting recent mixed economic news. Unemployment rates have remained steady with solid jobs growth although jobless levels in some states are still stubbornly high. Latest wage growth data is benign reflecting the low inflation economy with the level of real wages generally declining. The local currency has settled at levels probably higher than Bank expectations but with the recent upward trajectory moderating. The share market has also recorded recent moderate growth but without a real sense of surging confidence or rising speculative activity with overall levels remaining below the previous peaks of 2007. Home building levels although flattening recently remain encouraging higher than a year ago although the greater proportion of activity is with unit development which has a longer term impact on housing supply imbalances and economic activity. Housing markets are providing signs of reinvigorating following a softening of growth rates over the March quarter. Strengthening auction clearance rates over May in both Melbourne and Sydney from record listings together with rising buyer activity now in Brisbane and Adelaide indicate upside potential for solid prices growth over winter although not at the strong levels of 2013. Although official interest rates remain on hold at the lowest levels for 60 years, indicative mortgage rates remain higher than the levels of 2009. This indicates scope for downward mortgage rate movements from competition between banks for market share. Low and falling mortgage rates will continue to fuel housing market activity. See more

10.01.2022 Budget pain? Not for millionaires who pay no tax Pain all round will be the rallying cry of the night. Joe Hockey says his first budget - tonight - will hit everyone from high earners to politicians to Australians too poor to pay to see the doctor. All of us will have to contribute budget repair. Except that we won’t. The latest tax statistics show 75 ultra-high-earning Australians paid no tax at all in 2011-12. Zero. Zip....Continue reading

06.01.2022 FINANCIAL STRESS AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES If you’re facing increasing debt, take action instead of hoping for the best. If you fail to make payments on your business debts, the consequences can be disastrous. They can include loss of employees, seizure of stock and costly court cases brought by your creditors. Potentially worse, is the risk of government intervention (or in most cases the Australian Taxation Office). If you fail to pay the taxes you owe, th...Continue reading
