22.01.2022 All your Accounting and Tax news for March 2016

22.01.2022 The end of September will be upon us soon, it certainly has been a busy 6 months ! Businesses needing ongoing support must get familiar with the rules of JobKeeper 2.0 plus State Government grants that may be available to your business.

22.01.2022 Today we officially opened our new office. Cutting the ribbon is Cr Gail O’Neill, Margaret Lutton (Tweed Historical Society) and Laura Gerber MP Currumbin.

22.01.2022 Are you ready for the ATO Payroll changes with 20 or more employees? Single Touch Payroll is the next step in streamlining your payroll reporting. It will change the way you report your employees payroll information to the ATO. It starts from1 July 2018 for employers with 20 or more employees.You will report payments such as salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and super information to the ATO when you pay your employees.... You can do this through your existing payroll software (such as xero, myob or quickbooks) as long as it is updated to offer Single Touch Payroll reporting. Payroll software providers are updating their products now. If you have 20 or more employees you will need to report through Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2018. The first year will be a transition period and penalties may not apply. If you have 19 or less employees, you will need to report through Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2019, subject to legislation being passed in parliament. What does it mean? When you start reporting through Single Touch Payroll you will send your employees payroll and super information to the ATO from your payroll solution each payday. Your payroll cycle will not change. You can still pay your employees weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Your payment due date for PAYG withholding and super contributions will not change. However, you can choose to pay earlier. You may not need to provide your employees with a payment summary at the end of financial year for certain payments you report through Single Touch Payroll. The ATO will make that information available to employees through myGov. You will have the option to invite your employees to complete Tax file number declaration, Superannuation standard choice form and Withholding declaration online. This feature will not be available immediately. When you report to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll, your employees will be able to view their year-to-date tax and super information through myGov. How do I get ready? Count the employees who are on your payroll. If you have 20 or more,and you are using xero or an equivalent package, the software will be automatically updated and ready for your first payrun in the new financial year.

16.01.2022 The Governments newly announced JobKeeper payment provides businesses significantly impacted by the Coronavirus outbreak access to a subsidy to continue paying their employees. This assistance will help businesses to keep people in their jobs and re-start when the crisis is over. For employees, this means they can keep their job and earn an income even if their hours have been cut. The JobKeeper Payment is a temporary scheme open to businesses impacted by the Coronavirus.... The JobKeeper Payment will also be available to the self-employed. The Government will provide $1,500 per fortnight per employee for up to 6 months. The JobKeeper Payment will support employers to maintain their connection to their employees. These connections will enable business to reactivate their operations quickly without having to rehire staff when the crisis is over. Is your Business Eligible ? Employers (including non-for-profits) will be eligible for the subsidy if: their business has a turnover of less than $1 billion and their turnover will be reduced by more than 30 per cent relative to a comparable period a year ago (of at least a month); or their business has a turnover of $1 billion or more and their turnover will be reduced by more than 50 per cent relative to a comparable period a year ago (of at least a month); and the business is not subject to the Major Bank Levy. Employers must elect to participate in the scheme. They will need to make an application to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and provide supporting information demonstrating a downturn in their business. In addition, employers must report the number of eligible employees employed by the business on a monthly basis. Eligible employers will receive the payment for each eligible employee that was on their books on 1 March 2020 and continues to be engaged by that employer including full-time, part-time, long-term casuals and stood down employees. Casual employees eligible for the JobKeeper Payment are those employees who have been with their employer on a regular basis for at least the previous 12 months as at 1 March 2020 If you are a Sole Trader (No Employees) Businesses without employees, such as the self-employed, can register their interest in applying for JobKeeper Payment via The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) from 30 March 2020. Businesses without employees will need to provide an ABN for their business, nominate an individual to receive the payment and provide that individuals Tax File Number and provide a declaration as to recent business activity. People who are self-employed will need to provide a monthly update to the ATO to declare their continued eligibility for the payments. Payment will be made monthly to the individuals bank account. For more detailed information and examples see the Employer Fact Sheet or All Businesses /Sole Traders need to register here https://www.ato.gov.au/general/gen/JobKeeper-payment/
