It’s Preparedness Month, and we’re here to take the pain out of your bookkeeping!
Celebrate (or fake it) during ‘I’m On Top Of It Day’ and talk like a pirate while watching pigs fly!
If you have a construction, cleaning, IT, freight/courier or security business you need to report payments made for service to your subcontractors (a bit like group certificates) to the ATO – by today!
This is one of those rare lodgements that don’t cost you any money! (assuming you lodge on time, otherwise expect a fine).
Didn’t know TPARs were a thing? Ask us to help.
June quarter BAS is due tomorrow (if you get the agent extended deadline).
Can’t pay? Lodge anyway to avoid late lodgement fines and personal liability of the debt – you can make a payment plan with the ATO to manage your cashflow better.
Don’t forget to arrange payment of your August IAS.
It’s due by Friday at the latest.
If you are unable to pay in full, contact the ATO on 13 72 26 to arrange a payment plan.
(Don’t forget interest is no longer tax deductible)
Heads up: Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) are due by 28th August.
You need to report payments to contractors (a bit like group certificates) if your businesses operates in these industries:
– Building and construction services (this covers a broad range of services including engineering and decorating)
– Cleaning services
– Courier services
– Road freight services
– IT services
– Security, investigation or surveillance services
– Government entities
Failure to Lodge penalties apply if you should lodge, but don’t.
From Afternoon Tea Week to major BAS and TPAR deadlines, August is a busy ride! 🎢
Check out our calendar so you don’t miss a single date this month.
Payday Super has started for July and beyond,so we won’t needs to post this ever again!
However, any remaining April – June super contributions must be received by 28th July.
Payments should be authorised no later than 17th July as it can take several days to process.
Severe penalties will apply for late payments.
Birthdays, chocolate, and big compliance deadlines – July is officially here! 🍫
Keep your business on track by saving these key dates from our calendar! 🗓️
It’s that time of the year again! If you want to claim a tax deduction for your employee super contributions in the 2026 financial year, or if you are managing your own super caps, the cash must hit the superfund’s bank account by 30 June.
Because clearing houses and superfunds love to muck around with the moolah for a few days, processing deadlines are tight. To guarantee the payments clear in time, all super payments in Xero need to be authorised by Friday 19th June 2026.
The standard compliance deadline for the April–June quarter is still 28 July 2026 if you don’t need more deductions this financial year. Chat to your accountant about the tax benefits of bringing the payment forward into June.
