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.
Time is flying, and the 2025/2026 financial year is nearly over.
EOFY deals are great for salespeople hitting targets, but are they right for your bottom line?
Before you make any last-minute business purchases, you need accurate data.
Preparation is the secret to a stress-free tax season.
Make sure to lean on your qualified & licenced tax accountant for specific advice, and for everything else bookkeeping… sing out!
Here is what we need to action together right now to get you sorted before 30 June:
June is a massive month for business owners, don’t let International Panic Day live up to its name – we’re making sure to balance the hard work with some fun celebrations and a long weekend for the King’s Birthday! 👑
Mark these critical dates in your calendar:
June 19th – Authorise super to claim it for the 25/26 financial year! 💰
June 22nd – May IAS due.
June 30th – EOFY!!
Keep calm, eat a donut on the 5th, and let us take care of the June 30th countdown for you. 🧾
Time has run out for mucking around (even with our BAS agent extension) – its time to lodge and pay your March BAS.
Not enough money in the bank? Lodge anyway to avoid a late lodgement fine ($330 – $1650 for small businesses) and make a payment plan.
January-March super contributions must be received (by fund) by 28th April.
Payments should be authorised right now as it can take several days to process.
Late payments of superannuation are not tax deductible and attract interest, fines & additional paperwork.
Directors also become personally liable for the debt.
Authorise payments from Xero no later than 2pm on Friday.
All January – March super contributions must be received (by fund) by 28th April, regardless if you pay monthly or quarterly.
Severe penalties will apply for late payments.
Approve payment by Friday 17th at the absolute latest.
Does a DIY BAS feel like chasing a unicorn? 🦄 We’ve got you.
April is looking like a fun one with Easter, Wear PJs to Work Day, and the Anzac Day long weekend. But amongst the festivities, remember to tick off your Jan-March Super by the 17th and if you DIY your accounts, March BAS needs to be lodged and paid by the 28th (if we lodge for you, you’ll get an extra 4 weeks to make the payment).
Stay cozy, stay compliant, and let us handle the numbers while you enjoy the extra days off! 🐣✨
