Its just 3 weeks until Xerocon, we’ll be attending again this year – If this will be your first time, we’ve whipped up a couple of tips to help you get the most out of the event.
With Afternoon Tea Week approaching, we thought it would be the perfect excuse to get together.
How about we grab a cup of tea and a scone?
It’s a chance to just chat and catch up on whatever’s new – no need to discuss work, unless you want to!
We’d love to hear from you soon.
Afternoon tea is an important productivity enhancement tool – it will help you meet the August deadlines!
Super was due into your employees super funds by 28th July.
Your employee’s super contribution is only considered ‘paid’ on the date it’s received by the super fund. Not the date it’s received by the clearing house.
The expense is no longer tax deductible, super is calculated on all payments to employees (like overtime and allowances), fines are payable to the ATO, interest is payable to the fund for the employee, and directors will be personally chased for the payment.
If you’ve realised you haven’t made the payment on time, submit the statement ASAP to minimise the interest charges you’ll be liable for. Burying your head in the sand and hoping no-one notices could cost you a lot more down the line.
Need help to keep on top of all the deadlines? Ask us to give you a hand.
Intentional under payment of wages became a criminal offence on 1st January. Trying to save a few bucks could result in a 0 star ‘holiday’. Is it worth it?
If you haven’t already, review staff payrates against the current minimum wages and entitlements for your industry.
Prosecution can result in monetary fines, prison time, or both. An employer can be an individual or a company. You might be personally liable for the wrong doing of your company/boss.
We love you, but not enough to go to jail for you.
If you pay subcontractors, you may need to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) by 28th August.
Its a bit like lodging group certificates – no extra payment is required, you just need to report on total payments made during the last financial year.
Make sure you are recording staff leave to keep their balances up to date.
Employers need to tell employees their leave balances if they ask for it, or it can be displayed on payslips so your team can selfserve.
April – June super contributions must be received (by fund) by 28th July. This super is at the old rate of 11.5%.
Payments should be authorised right now as it takes longer than you think for the super fund to receipt the money.
Late payments of superannuation are not tax deductible – and fines and interest will be applied.
Annual ‘STP Finalisation’ needs to be filed with the ATO by today. (This replaces providing Payment Summaries/Group Certificates to your staff.)
Your team will not receive any documentation from you, they will be able to access details in their MyGov account once the finalisation has been completed – it may take an extra day or two to work through the system.
