24.01.2022 Business owners in the construction industry - don't forget you need to lodge your Taxable Payments Annual Report to report all contract payments made during the 2018 financial year. This is due in to the ATO by the 28th August, so don't delay. Contact the office if you need assistance with this or you have any questions.

22.01.2022 PHONE SCAM ALERT! Scammers pretending to be from the ATO are using a new tactic. They’ll phone you about a fake tax debt and try to start a three-way call ...with another scammer who claims to work alongside your regular tax agent. Keep an ear out for suspicious phone calls and warn your friends and family to beware of this scam, especially if they use an agent. If you have any doubts about a call you receive, don’t hesitate to hang up and report it to us on 1800 008 540. For further details on this scam and others, visit www.ato.gov.au/scamalerts

22.01.2022 Are you a small business and considering trying out Xero? Perhaps you need to become STP compliant before 30th September? They are currently offering 6 months free to all new subscribers who sign up before 30th September 2019. Use promo code 'FREESEPT' when upgrading from your free trial to a paid plan - and ensure you upgrade to the paid plan before midnight on 30th September. https://www.xero.com/au/pricing/

21.01.2022 "What do I need to give you to complete my tax return?" - This is a common question we get at this time of the year. To help you out we have a handy 2018 Tax Return checklist that you can print and tick off as you gather your info on our 'Useful Links & Forms' page on our website. There is also a detailed checklist for rental properties too. *Note - if you rely on the ATO pre-filling reports to supply us with the info on your bank interest income, private health coverage and... more, these will not be available until early - mid August. So if you want your tax done before then you will need to supply us with the information yourself. https://www.jbco.com.au/j-burke-co-useful-links

20.01.2022 What can I claim? There are most likely items that you don’t realise are claimable, and possibly some that aren’t. Get in touch with us to ensure your return is being lodged correctly.

18.01.2022 Have you made a personal contribution to super this year? Are you planning on claiming a tax deduction for it? If so - you must notify the fund of your intention to claim - we cannot lodge your tax return without a written confirmation from your fund that you have notified them of your intention to claim. Most funds send out a form at the end of financial year for you to nominate whether you will claim a deduction, sign and send back. If you don't receive one, contact your ...fund for a copy or ask them how you notify them of your intent to claim a tax deduction on personal super contributions. Note - you MUST lodge your tax return by your due date, or you miss out on the deduction altogether!

17.01.2022 Have you heard about the increases to the Low & Middle Income Earner Tax Offset on the news or radio? Have questions about it? We have been fielding a lot of en...quiries on this after all the media coverage the last two days, with one media outlet claiming everyone will be getting an extra $1,000 when they lodge their tax return! Got to love sensationalist media stories that aren't quite the whole truth - some people MAY have their refunds increased by up to $1,000 but many people will receive less, and some won't be affected at all. We've put together this handy Frequently Asked Questions page to help explain it as simply as possible, with lots of examples of how it may affect you. The main thing to be aware of is you don't need to do anything to be eligible, we will automatically calculate it when we prepare your return. See more

11.01.2022 Happy New Financial Year! For business clients this means it's time to send through your April - June BAS info or get in touch to let us know your cloud accounting file is up to date. For all clients it means tax time - so we'll see you all over the coming months. If you are unsure if you need to lodge a tax return, just contact the office.

07.01.2022 Don’t forget to get your contractor payment information to us if you haven’t already

06.01.2022 When is the best time to lodge your tax return? Well - If you want to rely on us having your bank interest, dividend income and health fund information from the ATO via pre-filling then you will need to wait till mid-August, as that is when they are all available. If you want your tax prepared in July, you must remember to supply it all to us yourselves. If you don't tell us, and the ATO don't tell us, we don't know about it!! ... If you forget to declare income you may end up with a not so nice letter from the ATO down the track asking why you didn't declare your bank interest income and have to pay some of that tax back.

06.01.2022 Have you been considering changing to Xero? They have a pretty awesome discount at the moment - 50% off for the first 4 months!! Set-up your file now to get you prepared for the start of the new financial year. They have regular discount offers for new users but they are never quite as good as this, so if you were considering Xero, contact us to get you started with the discount. The current discount offer expires on 30th June 2018.... https://www.xero.com/au/

03.01.2022 Be aware everyone - scammers have set up a fake mygov website. Once someone has your mygov log-in details, if you have linked ATO services they then have access to your TFN, date of birth, address - everything they need to steal your identity.
