21.01.2022 How Secure is MYGOV? We had an interesting call from the ATO last night, They were querying why the income and expenditure on a clients tax return did not correspond to their business activity statements. This is unusual as we normally perform a reconciliation of BAS to income tax return prior to lodgement. Upon further investigation, we found that that 2 Business Activity Statements had been amended, with the net result being that in theory the client would be entitled to a...lmost $4million dollars in refunds. The alarm bells started to ring as any refund of such proportion would initiate a tax audit. We immediately phoned the client and suggested he come to see us urgently. He had no knowledge of anyone revising Business Activity Statements. Two days earlier, he had received a text message from the ATO suggesting that there had been suspicious activity on his Mygov account. He was not aware of any activity and had chosen not to respond. It now appears that his Mygov account has been hacked. At this stage, we are unsure of whether this involved changing bank accounts for the perpetrator to collect refunds. We advised him to contact the ATO immediately to advise of this breach, and we will follow up at this end. Interesting, we also found that a tax return had also been lodged for this client, but not by us. We had been unable to lodge his actual tax return because the system told us that one had already been lodged. Whilst we can correct the activity statements at our end, we have no certainty that a hacker will not access the Mygov account again. It is important to note that we do not have access to a clients Mygov account and can only access information by the Tax Agents Portal. It was also interesting that the client had been removed from our list of clients on the Tax Portal; something that normally only happens if the client engages another accountant; which clearly is not the case. The question therefore remains: How secure is Mygov? We all must be vigilant in protecting our confidential information. See more

13.01.2022 It isnt too late to start planning for the next year end - if you have a plan in place you are in a better position to achieve your goals! We would be happy to help.

09.01.2022 If youre behind with the ATO let us negotiate a payment arrangement for you. Accountants have a rapport and extensive experience with the ATO. They also have greater confidence in negotiating with us rather than an individual client.

08.01.2022 Single Touch Payroll (STP) is the new and obligatory way of reporting tax and super information. You must submit your PAYG and Super information to the ATO with each pay run. You will no longer issue a payment summary at the end of the financial year. STP is to be reported at the same time as you pay your employees. A software program is required and we have found that there is not a more simple and easy program to use than XERO. We would welcome the opportunity to take the hassle away completely. We report on your behalf if you outsource your payroll to us! Call us to set up a free consultation.

06.01.2022 Last few days before EOFY is here. Are you making the most of the $30 000 tax write off for equipment? If you are not sure how it affects you, give us a call and we will happily talk you through it.

05.01.2022 As a small business, you may not need a full-time CFO. You perhaps need more expertise than a bookkeeper and more effective ongoing advice than a trip to your accountant. Certum Accountants, your Chief Financial Officer is just that on call for your business when you need them. That could be every now and then, once a week or once a month. As a virtual or part-time CFO, we can work from anywhere, and are always available by phone and email. Your CFO is also able to meet with you face to face, and discuss new ideas whenever you need their support.

02.01.2022 We talk a lot about how late payments affect businesses from a financial and operational perspective. Its an issue thats close to our hearts here at Certum, and it is a conversation that needs to be had. One aspect of late payments thats often lost amid all the talk about lost revenues, invoice-chasing and the rest is the human cost of late payments. When businesses arent paid on time, it doesnt just affect the bottom line it affects people. It is advisable to have systems in place that mean you dont spend hours chasing monies that are owed to you. Automate with direct debits and such like. If you need help, give us a call
