25.01.2022 The instant asset write-off has been extended by six months to 31 December 2020. Eligible small businesses can therefore continue to fully deduct depreciable assets at the time of purchase, subject to the luxury car limit cap of around $57k for cars.

25.01.2022 Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend to Husband and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend. In addition, Husband uninstalled many other valuable programmes, such as Romance and Personal Attention and then installed undesirable programs such as Rugby , Football, Sailing and Continuous TV. Conversation no longer runs, and Housecleaning simply cr...ashes the system. I've tried running Nagging to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Desperate ..................................................................................................... Dear Desperate, First keep in mind, Boyfriend is an Entertainment Package, while Husband is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'http: I Thought You Loved Me.html' and try to download Tears. Don't forget to install the Guilt update. If that application works as designed, Husband should then automatically run the applications Jewellery and Flowers, but remember - overuse of the above application can cause Husband to default to Grumpy Silence, Garden Shed or Beer. Beer is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband. In summary, Husband is a great system, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. It also tends to work better running one task at a time. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food and Hot Lingerie. Good Luck, Tech Support See more

21.01.2022 The kangaroo dog that does seal impersonations

20.01.2022 The ATO is reminding employers that super payments are only considered to be paid for the purpose of claiming tax deductions once these have been received by the relevant superannuation fund. In other words, if a business is using the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) to accept super payments for employees, the date the clearing house accepts these payments is not the date it is paid, and therefore does not satisfy the grounds for deductibility. Employers need to allow for processing such that the contributions are paid by the clearing house and received by the funds by the end of the financial year. Advice from the ATO is that the key date for payments to be made to the SBSCH is 23 June (Tuesday of next week).

16.01.2022 Reminder: reporting for June JobKeeper payments is required by 14th July.

14.01.2022 The turnover test for JobKeeper 2.0 (post-September) has already been changed. The reduction of 30% is now to apply only for July to September 2020 compared to the same period of 2019(previously also the June quarter).

12.01.2022 The Fair Work Commission has announced a 1.75% increase to the National Minimum Wage following its 2020 Annual Wage Review. The increase applies to awards in three stages, which start from the first full pay period on or after: 1 July 2020 1 November 2020... 1 February 2021. See more

12.01.2022 The Federal Government is to introduce a $25,000 grant for eligible owner-occupiers to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home. The HomeBuilder grant will be available to individuals under the $125,000 income cap ($200,000 for couples) entering into a building contract between 3 June and 31 December 2020 where construction commences within three months of the contract date. For new homes, the total value of the land and new build cannot exceed $750,000... and must become the grant recipient's principal place of residence. Renovation contracts must be between $150,000 and $750,000, where the value of the property prior to renovations does not exceed $1.5 million. The grant will be non-taxable and paid by the relevant state or territory authority. The program is not available for investment properties or to owner-builders. Additions to property such as tennis courts, swimming pools, sheds and garages that are unconnected to the property are excluded for renovation contract purposes.

11.01.2022 Employers have up to 16 November 2020 to update their payroll systems to reflect the changes to the personal income tax thresholds for the 2020-21 income year. The ATO has published the updated PAYG withholding tax tables to be used to work out employees’ take home pay. These apply to payments made on and from 13 October 2020, but employers have been given additional time to adjust their processes.

10.01.2022 The JobKeeper Payment (JKP) has now been officially extended to 28 March 2021. The payment rate of $1,500 per fortnight for eligible employee and business participants will be reduced (to $1200 from October) and a lower tier of payment ($750) will apply for employees and business participants that worked fewer than eighty hours during the reference period.... Two periods of extension of have been introduced: 28 September 2020 to 3 January 2021 (Period One), and 4 January 2021 to 28 March 2021 (Period Two). JKP will remain open to new participants provided they meet the eligibility requirements for the relevant period. Key points include: Compulsory use of the accounting basis - cash or accrual - used for GST reporting purposes in calculating turnover (which can massively distort the process of determining the real extent of a downturn) No modification to actual GST turnover allowed for income from sale of capital assets, bad debts or discounts Tests for the extension period applied on a quarterly basis For the higher rate, eligible business participants to use the month of February as reference period while eligible employees determined on either the period ended 1 March 2020 or 1 July 2020 (whichever is higher)

05.01.2022 Happy birthday GST - twenty years old today, a day when business income tax rates reduce.

04.01.2022 In accordance with recent amendments, qualifying employers will be eligible for JobKeeper payments in respect of employees that met the eligibility requirements on Wednesday 1 July 2020 (previously Sunday 1 March 2020) for fortnights beginning on or after Monday 3 August 2020. This will include new employees engaged after 1 March 2020 and existing employees not eligible at Sunday 1 March 2020, who become eligible employees with the new date. The existing eligibility of employ...ees for JobKeeper fortnights beginning on or after Monday 3 August 2020 is preserved. Individuals that satisfied the Sunday 1 March 2020 requirements and nomination requirements before the amending rules commenced do not need to retest their eligibility. ATO guidance highlights that for the fortnights commencing on Monday 3 August 2020 and Monday 17 August 2020, the ATO is allowing employers until Monday 31 August 2020 to meet the wage condition for all new eligible employees included in the JobKeeper scheme under the Wednesday 1 July eligibility test.
