Group certificates, or STP finalisation – to use the new lingo, must be completed TODAY!
Reconcile payroll accounts (check for payroll tax thresholds while you are there) and submit declarations to the tax office.
You will need to file an annual ‘STP Finalisation’ to the ATO by 14th July. (This replaces providing Payment Summaries/Group Certificates to your staff). Staff will not be receiving any documentation from you.
If any adjustments to payroll are needed jump onto it ASAP, then reconcile payroll accounts and only then submit the finalisation to the ATO.

Super should be authorised in Xero by Monday 17th June if you are chasing 2024 tax deductions (to soak up a profit) or if you are managing your annual super cap.
Super contributions must be received (by fund) by 30th June to qualify in this year and you need to allow plenty of time for payments to fly through cyber space.
The usual final deadline of 28th July still applies if you choose to not make an early payment.

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.
Payments (cash basis) made to subcontractors (not employees) for their labour need to reported to the ATO by 28th August if you operate in the construction, IT, cleaning, courier/delivery or security space.
