There are so many costs involved in starting up again, so it is great that women looking to return to work will be able to use these grants towards things like training and education, textbooks or stationery.

The grants program will provide women with financial assistance and targeted support including mentoring, advice and training to help them return to the workforce. These grants will help women whose employment has been affected by COVID-19 to overcome some of the obstacles in the way of returning to the workforce.

16.01.2022 True or False: You can claim a standard $300 deduction in your tax return for work-related expenses? False! There is no such thing as an ’automatic’ or ‘stand...ard deduction’. There are limited circumstances where receipts may not be required. You still need to calculate your claim on a reasonable basis, have spent the money and show the expense was related to earning your income. Find out the records you need at www.ato.gov.au//Income-and-deduc/Records-you-need-to-keep/

14.01.2022 Audit Insurance to include JobKeeper Audits. It is inevitable, after the 6 months JobKeeper runs its course, the ATO will start their audit and review of employer JobKeeper eligibility and whether or not all i's have been dotted and t's crossed. This can be a costly exercise in either time and/or money. You may want to consider insuring your business for Audit cover so in the event of an audit, the insurance will cover a set value of accounting fees.

Through this adversity, I feel the business community has strengthened and I am proud to have been a part of that journey (although I'm very happy to kick 2020 to the kurb ). When the COVID government assistance programs were released, it involved a lot of extra work for accountants and sometimes my head was just above water......So I wanted to thank you for your patience.

I also wanted to thank Danielle Hemming, my super star administrator, who is a very valued employee. I am also very pleased to announce you will see a new face in the office from 1st February 2021.
