Don’t forget you need to lodge and pay your August IAS this Thursday 21st September (if you are a monthly lodger).
You crack open the cookie, only to be disappointed.
At times, starting your own business can be much the same.
Stop winging it, shut down the computer and go to dinner with family and/or friends (Deep fried icecream for us please), then come back tomorrow and focus on growing your fortune with a team of experts to support you.
Bosses and employees generally exchange labour for cash!
There’s a bit more to it than that. They also exchange lots of secret data.
How do your new employees safely exchange their personal details with your HR team (probably you!)? Please don’t say email, its just not a safe way to transfer TFNs and other identity documents.
Holler if you’d like to chat about ways to reduce the exchange of employee data with strangers.
Next week the cost of your Xero business subscription will increase.
When was the last time you reviewed your prices? Are you valuing your skills appropriately?
If you haven’t audited your charge out rates recently, its time to check your margins.

A nice quiet month. Take a breather.
Monthly lodgers will need to submit August IAS by 21st September, other than that, prepare for the end of another quarter.
We are willing to lend a hand to support our local community, we’ve signed up again this year as pitch partners with our Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank. In 2 weeks 10 local charities will present shark tank style to locals who have pledged to make donations.
We are proud to be 3 time supporters.
Are you willing to lend a hand? What can you do to support others?
Its not too late to partner up
We’re back at the desk after a week at Xerocon.
We had a great time reconnecting with our favourite app partners, chatting up some new ones, hearing where our industry might be heading, being motivated & uplifted and hanging out with our peers & friendly competitors.
There was a focus on AI, Will Buckley Xero AU country manager said: I’m going to be really clear: AI should not take anyone’s job in this profession. Building trust, having meaningful conversations informed by data, and harnessing the latest technology, is where the real magic happens.
If you have a construction, cleaning, IT, freight/courier or security business you need to report payments made for service to your subcontractors to the ATO.
This is one of the submissions that won’t cost you any money (assuming you lodge on time, otherwise expect a fine).
Construction is very broad – it includes engineering services, architects, communications construction, landscaping, retaining walls, swimming pool installation and wallpapering.
Need a hand to get the paperwork in by 28th August? Ask us to help.
It’s time to make sure your June quarter BAS has been lodged and paid (or a payment plan arranged).
Not in the mood? Late lodgement fines, defaulting on existing payment plans and your BAS agent is no longer allowed to file your payroll STP with their annual authority, its probably easier just to do a spot of adulting and lodge the thing.
Suspect you’re not really capable of nailing it? Get a tax or BAS agent to assist (you also get a big longer until the payment is due – win!).
