22.01.2022 Today we’re celebrating the 86% of this female-driven industry for International Women’s Day #IWD2020. When we ask bookkeepers why they chose this particular c...areer path, a common response we hear is because it offers a more suitable work/life balance and flexibility with working from home and/or supporting a family. It’s wonderful bookkeeping is a leading industry where women can innovate, lead and thrive, and we look forward to seeing more industries push towards a more equal and inclusive workplace. Here’s a shot of our fabulous gals at #ICBCon Canberra!

18.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Well, it has come to that time of year where I release the annual lights list. Firstly, a HUGE Thank You to all the property owners who confirmed a...nd to those who were part of the last minute rush to confirm, as this has really bumped the list up and made it look a lot better than what it did a month or so ago. After months of preparation and planning, the end result is here and I cant wait to see all the amazing displays. Us displaying properties love your feedback and are thankful for all your support, so be sure to get out there and let the property owners know you appreciate their efforts. Can I ask that you do not just bulk tag friends and family to the list, or just share it to your page, but instead make sure to get them to like, tag and share the page as well. Usually I have a spiel and some things to talk about regarding the page or list, but not this year, I think I am just happy and thankful to have gotten to this point and that the list has turned out better than first feared. Thank You to everyone for your support with the page and keeping the spirit of Christmas alive and well in Cairns. If you are going to start driving around looking at lights, please be mindful of others on the road and keep your children close and safe. Also when visiting displays, especially those that are walk through and interactive, please look with your eyes, not your hands, unless started otherwise, have respect for the efforts made and for the property your visiting, and lastly, HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!!!! Here it is people!!!

10.01.2022 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT While many are very disappointed by the recent travel and public gathering restrictions, it is essential to limit the spread of ...CV. But hear me out for a minute as I want to flip your thinking on it’s head. Forever the eternal optimist in life I see the opportunity every negative brings my way and so instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, why not look at the opportunities this presents for you as a proud Cairns Local. Let’s think about how we can support one another through these trying times. 1. Things will get back to normal soon, so breathe! 2. What is one action you can take today, tomorrow and in the coming weeks and months ahead to keep local businesses doors open. 3. If you had a holiday planned that has been cancelled and you’ve been issued with a refund or credit - ask yourself, where can I holiday locally and get the same level of relaxation I was hoping for, but keep my money spinning into the local economy? Don’t hold onto the money - spend it locally. You owe it to your town to do so. 4. It is inevitable that the Federal Government will have to throw more money at this situation - take comfort in knowing that this WILL happen as they continue to scale up their efforts. The last thing the Government wants is an avalanche of people losing their homes and sitting in the welfare system. Make your voice heard to your local Federal and State MPs so they know how best to support you and your family in these times. 5. STOP WHINGING and START SOLVING our collective problems. Think of new ways you can meet this challenge head on. It will only be for months, not years, so start planning and coming up with solutions NOW. Solutions, not problems is what our political leaders need to hear from you. . . . My family and I are doing our bit to support local businesses and keep their cashflow moving. What are you doing to support others? One thing I love about this region is how resilient we are. We have some of the Best Business Warriors in the world, take comfort in knowing that the leaders (both old and new) are rising up to this challenge. So let’s have each other’s backs instead of pulling one another down (that includes our politicians ... be kind people - they are doing their best in very trying circumstances) So Let’s Keep It In Cairns and ...

07.01.2022 Treasury have released "JobKeeper Payment - Frequently Asked Questions", dated 5th April 2020. In advance of the legislation (due on Wednesday 8th April) Update...d Treasury Factsheets Frequently Asked Questions For Employees (5April) For Employers (5April) Supporting Businesses (5April) Summary of new information - JobKeeper "Businesses must have paid their employees before they are entitled to receive the JobKeeper payment" But see below Agents do not need to register each client seperately for the information, unless information is to go to the client. JobKeeper payments (becuasse they are part of the employees pay) are to be paid through software and reported through STP. If you are NOT using STP (ie closely helds) then there will be a manual claim process (online form but to be entered) It is for the Full pay period starting on or after 30 March. Drop in turnover can be proven by "other" evidence (not just compared to last year) If drop in Turnover will be in April or later "You can apply if you reasonably expect that your turnover will fall by 30 per cent or more (50%) relative to... a year earlier" "...the business can start receiving JobKeeper Payment at a later time once the turnover test has been met" JobKeeper payment will generally be paid to the employer and not used to offset tax liabilities If on full workers compensation then no JobKeeper If employee is partly paid wages by the employer while on workers compensation - jobkeeper applies If an employee is on paid leave more than $1500, the employees pay doesnt change the employer will receive JK If an employee is on paid leave less than $1500 then the employees pay must be topped up to the $1500 An employee on unpaid leave is eleigble to receive JK payments Id being paid Parental Leave or Dad and Partner Pay (through Centrelink) then not eligibile for JK Casual employement 12 month rule continues even if a change of owner of the business JK can be received for Apprentices and Trainees who also receive the 50% wage subsidy for March Quarter but cannot receive the wage subsidy for June quarter if on JK. The Cash Gap WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUE PAYING MY ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES UNTIL THE PAYMENTS ARE MADE? The JobKeeper Payment is a reimbursement scheme that will be paid by the ATO monthly in arrears. In cases where this may present cash flow difficulties, those businesses may want to speak to their bank to discuss their options. The banks have said businesses may be able to use the upcoming JobKeeper payment as a basis to seek credit in order to pay their employees until the scheme is making its first payments. An interesting answer that we require more detail "IF I HAVE STOOD DOWN MY EMPLOYEES WITHOUT PAY AFTER 1 MARCH 2020 CAN I ‘BACK PAY’ THEM TO 30 MARCH 2020? Yes. If you want to claim the JobKeeper Payment for your employees you will need to confirm your eligible employees want to be part of the scheme and arrange for them to be paid a minimum of $1,500 per fortnight before tax from 30 March 2020." Trusts / Partnerships / Company Directors Only ONE partner in a partnership can receive JK. Partners cannot be employees of the partership. Only ONE beneficiary of a trust, where the beneficiaries only receive distributions as the reward for service) can receive JK. Noting Beneficiaries who are also employees willl receive JK as employee. Only one Director can receive JK payments for "Directors Fees", Directors who are employees will recceive JK due to being an Employee **Recommend wait for the legislation on this** Confirmed Noteworthy Details Employee must have an employment relationship as of 1 March 2020 Employer must have a decrease in turnover of 30% (50% for over $1b turnover) Turnover is defined by the GST Law and is only Australian based sales. Self Employed will be eligible First JobKeeper Subsidy will be recceived by employers after 1st May Payments will be made monthly in arrears Employees stood down are eligible $1500 per fortnight flat rate subsidy for all eligible employees JobSeeker recipients must tell Centrelink if they are receiving JobKeeper through the employer Compliance There will be a positive obligation on employers to establish their eligibility and that of their employees.
