17.01.2022 Want to claim a deduction for super contributions? Did you know, super payments are only considered to be paid for the purpose of claiming a tax deduction once they have been received by the super fund, not the date the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) accepts them? To ensure you can claim a deduction for the 201920 income year, you need to allow processing time for your super payments to be received by your employees' super funds before the end of the 20...1920 income year. Payments need to be accepted by the SBSCH by 23 June 2020. Remember to check with your employees if you need to update their super fund details in your SBSCH account including, a change of ownership of a superannuation product. If there has been a change in ownership, the super fund's ABN or Unique Superannuation Identifier (USI) may have been changed for your employee’s super account. Super funds will inform members (your employees) of any such changes, which your employee should give you. There is no change to when SG quarterly payments are due, the next quarterly due date is 28 July 2020.

16.01.2022 If you purchased a rental property after 1 July 2017, your deductions could look a little bit different this tax time.

Instead, these items will be taken into consideration when you sell the property down the track.

For the first two fortnights (30 March 12 April, 13 April 26 April), the ATO will accept the minimum $1,500 payment for each fortnight has been paid by you even if it has been paid late, provided it is paid by 8 May 2020.

For example, you can enrol by the end of April to claim JobKeeper payments for the two fortnights in April.

See the ATO’s cheat sheet of what you can and can’t claim: You can claim working from home expenses. You can’t claim the cost of gifts you buy for your students or any time you pay for their personal expenses (e.g. their lunch, excursion fees or school books). You can claim self-education expenses if the course relates directly to your current job. You can’t claim a deduc...tion if your study is only related in a general way to your job, or is designed to help you get a new one.

02.01.2022 If any of our clients receive Child Care Subsidy and Family Tax Benefit payments from Services Australia, you and your partner must lodge your 201819 tax return by 30 June 2020. Lodgement deferrals do not alter this requirement. If you are entitled to family assistance but didn’t receive any payments in the 2018-19 financial year, you will also need to lodge a lump sum claim with Services Australia by 30 June 2020. Services Australia needs your income details to balance paym...ents for Child Care Subsidy and Family Tax Benefit. If lodgement is not made by 30 June 2020: Our clients receiving Child Care Subsidy may: ** lose their ongoing entitlement ** receive a debt and have to repay the amount received in the 201819 financial year Our clients receiving Family Tax Benefit may: ** miss out on additional payments ** receive a debt and have to repay the amount received in the 201819 financial year. If applicable, you should notify the ATO if lodgement is not required and confirm with Services Australia that you are not required to lodge. Services Australia can assist those who have special circumstances preventing them or their partner from lodging before the deadline.
