Clients, Gifts and the Footy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part two of three. Last week was your own team and the Christmas party. This week it's everyone who doesn't work for you. Same rule the series hangs off: entertainment isn't deductible and you can't claim the GST, unless you pay fringe benefits tax on it. Last week that mostly worked in your favour. This week it doesn't, because fringe benefits tax only applies to employees, and your clients aren't employees. Mia and Leo are joined by tax strategist Harvey Green. Clients, referral partners and s
Coffee, Clients and the Christmas Party: What You Can Actually Claim (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's party-booking season, so here's the question every business owner asks in October: can I claim it? This is part one of three, and it runs on one rule. Entertainment isn't tax deductible and you can't claim the GST on it, unless you pay fringe benefits tax on it. One way or the other, never both. Then the twist that catches everyone. When an exemption applies to entertainment, you don't just avoid the tax, you lose the deduction and the GST credit too. Usually still the better outcome, at fo
The Trust Tax Wasn't Dropped: What the Draft Law Actually Says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You may have read that the Treasurer dropped the trust tax. He didn't. What happened on 3 September is that the draft legislation landed, and with it a new way to stay out of the tax without restructuring. The 30% minimum tax on discretionary trusts still starts on 1 July 2028, and it's the last of the big Budget measures still to pass. Mia and Leo are joined by tax strategist Harvey Green, who fronted our Budget night episode and starts by correcting his own advice from May. In this episode, we
Payday Super: Two Months In, and What's Actually Biting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Payday Super went live on 1 July. Two months in, the pattern of what's going wrong is clear — and it's rarely what employers expected. Almost everyone gets this backwards: it isn't a cost increase. The rate is still 12%, the same people qualify, and for most employers the amount is identical to last year. What changed is the timing. And the timing is what's catching people. Mia and Leo are joined by tax strategist Harvey Green for the practical version. We previewed this in Episode 33; this is w
The Medicare Levy, the Surcharge, and the Cover That Doesn't Count (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three different things, one confusing name. The Medicare levy, the Medicare levy surcharge, and private health insurance all interact — and getting them mixed up is quietly costing people thousands. In this episode, Mia and Leo separate them properly: who actually pays, who's exempt, what kind of cover gets you out of the surcharge, and the policies that look like the real thing but do nothing at all. We lead with the 2025-26 figures, because that's the return most people are lodging right now,
