What support is available for my business?
That is a great question – there are a number of support measures available and each one has slightly different eligibility requirements

But before you bring someone into your business make sure you are on the right side of fairwork!

Did you know the June BAS has 3 different due dates depending on the lodgement method?
Regardless of method – on time lodgement is important – fines can be imposed for late lodgement.
Even if you can’t pay the BAS – you’ll be better off lodging to avoid fines, you can make a payment plan while times are tough.

STP finalisation for staff is due by 31st July – make sure you reconcile your payroll accounts BEFORE you press the button.
If we manage the whole payroll shebang for you, we have reconciled your accounts and need your permission to finalise – make sure you review and sign.
