25.01.2022 KIDS GET IT they really do. Check out this sequence of pics with B1G1 Member Antony Gaddie and his 8 year old Skye proudly supported by 10 year old brother, S...tirling. Skye was able to share her understanding of the Goals (and Goal 5 Gender Equality is her favourite right now) with a group of high-performing people in Antonys Symphony 7 Group. And guess who they said was the highlight of their day. Skye took it all in her stride (and is now leading the SDG charge at her school too). Again, KIDS GET IT. Share your experiences of that here as well!

21.01.2022 Reminder: Fuel tax credit rates have increased 1 October 2019 Remember, registered tax agents and BAS agents can help you with your tax Fuel tax credit rates increased on 5 August, so dont forget to use the new rates when you calculate your claim on your next business activity statement (BAS).... Claim less than $10,000 in fuel tax credits per year? Why not use the ATO simplified method. Just use the rate that applies at the end of the BAS period when you work out your claim. You can now do this via our refreshed fuel tax credit calculator by clicking Calculate my claim using simplified fuel tax credits. Also, make sure you: include fuel tax credits in your business tax return as they are assessable income keep accurate business records to help you apportion for the fuel you use remember, different rates can apply depending on the activity the fuel is used for. .

19.01.2022 Our recent work with the Australian Taxation Office and police to investigate an unregistered tax agent services provider has led to an arrest. During our inves...tigation we discovered that the unregistered preparer targeted the backpacker community and used clients MyGov details to lodge income tax returns. Unsuspecting clients discovered their refunds were paid directly into the unregistered preparers bank account and in many cases their work-related expenses were significantly overstated. http://ow.ly/AJow50vNwPB See more

18.01.2022 Hi EOFY is fast approaching and this is a reminder that in order for compulsory superannuation contributions for your employees to be tax deductible in the 2019/2020 financial year the payment by you must be received by their superannuation fund before 30 June 2020. It is therefore important to allow time for your superannuation payments to be processed. The ATO have advised all payments made through the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House must be paid by you no later than 23rd June to ensure receipt before 30th June. Supporting you, Heather

14.01.2022 How STP works STP works by sending tax and super information from your payroll or accounting software to the ATO as you run your payroll. When you start reporting:... you will run your payroll, pay your employees as normal, and give them a payslip your pay cycle does not need to change (you can continue to pay your employees weekly, fortnightly or monthly) your STP-enabled payroll software will send us a report which includes the information we need from you, such as salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and super information Dont panic it will soon seem like 2nd nature!

03.01.2022 TAX TALK Top 5 Audit Triggers! ATO audits are something that every taxpayer and every business dreads. While you or your business can be selected at random by t...he ATO, often your conduct is the trigger for an audit. What are some common audit triggers? 1. Unpaid Superannuation Not paying superannuation on time and in full for your employees is a sure-fire way to attract ATO attention and potentially trigger a wider review into your affairs. 2. Inconsistency Between BAS and Tax Return The income declared on your or your businesss year-end tax return should broadly align with the amount of income you have recorded throughout the year on your BASs. Large discrepancies invite and often result in ATO scrutiny. 3. Falling Outside the ATO Small Business Benchmarks If your business falls outside the ATOs Small Business Benchmarks this will most likely lead to further ATO enquiry, and possibly an audit. In simple terms, the benchmarks are industry-specific financial ratios that the ATO has developed to assist in comparing your business against others in the same industry. If your business falls outside the benchmarks, the ATO will likely make contact and give you the opportunity to explain why. For instance, it may be that you have higher costs or lower selling prices than other similar businesses of the same size within your industry. Whatever the reason, it is important that you communicate it to the ATO if they ask. If the ATO is satisfied with your explanation, this may be the end of the matter...and a review or audit may be averted. 4. Compliance History If you have outstanding debts or outstanding returns/BAS (or are consistently late in these areas) you are much more likely to be audited than businesses with a good compliance history. 5. Company Car But No FBT If your business has purchased a motor vehicle but has not lodged an FBT return or at least included in its income tax return an employee contribution so as to minimise the FBT payable on the car benefit, then this will likely lead to further ATO scrutiny. It is rare indeed for a company car to not be used at least in part for private purposes during the year.
