I say I say I say, its so nice to see you again!
We’re really excited to be able to meet our clients and peers again. In tough times being able to meet and confide in another can really lighten the load.
Another court decision has called into question how employees are classified.
To paraphase the decision: calling a worker a casual doesn’t make them a casual.
The same applies for contractors.
When you classify the nature of a worker you need to look at how they do their job.
What a great time to be a small business owner!!
Right now it might feel like the world is going to hell in a hand basket and you might feel pretty powerless as things just happen around you or things are forced upon you. Don’t panic.
We need to lodge your March quarterly BAS by 25th May or you risk being fined by the ATO.
This the first BAS the ATO cashboost stimulus applies to.
The sooner we lodge, the sooner you receive the credit!
Your workers are worthy of being paid the correct wages – that is the award wage or higher.
If you are paying your staff a salary you need to run BOOT (Better Off Overall Test) to make sure you aren’t taking advantage of ‘free overtime’.
Are you paying a worthy wage to your workers?
JobKeeper deadlines have been extended – nothing is due today!
Not currently eligible? Keep checking & apply when you meet the turnover requirements. There are another 5 possible months to enrol.
The JobKeeper portal is expected to open on Monday.
You can enroll when you become or are about to become eligible (this could be in anytime between now and September).
Ask your BAS or Tax agent for assistance.
The ATO says:
As the business owner, you are accountable for understanding your record-keeping obligations. If you use a registered tax or BAS agent to manage your records, you still retain primary accountability.
We don’t recommend a filing cabinet as the best way to mange and store your records, e-record keeping is quicker, easier and cheaper.
