DIY tax returns: The deadline for self-lodging sole traders is closer than you think (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. If you lodge your own tax return, you have about four weeks left. And if you have been quietly thinking this might be the year you hand it to an accountant instead, you have even less time than that as you need an accountant to onboard you and add you to their Australian Taxation Office client list before that date. For individuals who lodge themselves, the 2025-26 tax return is due October 31. This year October 31 falls on a Saturday, so und
How employers can make the most of the ATO’s practice year for payday super (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. Since 1 July, most of what I’ve read and witnessed about payday super has sounded like a disaster movie: payments bouncing back, super funds not answering verification requests, payroll teams googling “what is a QE day” at 9pm on a Thursday. Some of that is fair, but there’s a piece of good news that has had almost no airtime, and it’s the one every employer should know about: the Australian Taxation Office has put in writing that it will go
The $20,000 tax write-off nobody is using (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. Last month, small businesses got the thing they had asked for since 2015: the $20,000 instant asset write-off to remain permanent. On August 19, 2026, the tax measure passed through Parliament without amendment, which means businesses with turnover under $10 million can immediately deduct the business portion of a capital purchase up to $20,000, per asset, on an ongoing basis. No annual cliff, and no waiting to see whether it survives the nex
The ATO already knows about your contractor income. Here’s what happens if you don’t declare it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. The ATO expects more than $1 billion in contractor payments to go undeclared this year. It already knows about most of them. Every August, businesses in building and construction, cleaning, courier and road freight, IT, and security and investigation services lodge a taxable payments annual report (TPAR). It lists every contractor they paid, that contractor’s ABN, and the total paid including GST. The deadline is August 28. Around $21 billion
The hidden cost of Australia's card surcharge ban for small business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. From October 1, businesses can no longer surcharge Visa, Mastercard or Eftpos transactions. The RBA says this will save consumers $1.6 billion a year, which is a great headline, but buried in the fine print is a detail worth reading twice: the banks can still charge those fees to the business. The cost doesn’t disappear; it is just hidden from the customers. You've reached your article limit. Create a free account, or log in to continue. Get
