Bailey the office dog is here to remind you that with EOFY, if you have staff it isnt as easy as pressing the button to finalise them! We have checks in place to check accuracy and therefore avoiding grumpy employees if you need to re finalise the wages!
Contact us today if you need assistance - its a small price to pay for peace of mind that everything is correct!

On the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to remember all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice 🌺

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget

Always good advice, dont hassle your bookkeeper for your payment summary (of which you dont get one physically anymore!) as you are best to wait until the end of July to contemplate getting your tax done - your accountant loves having all the information and it not being drip fed! Trust me!😊

Meet Kalinda 👋

She’s learnt from experience that it’s best to lodge your return at the end of July.

Last year, Kalinda lodged as quick as she could on 1 July. But some of her income amounts were wrong. The ATO contacted her to let her know they are amending her return. Worse still, she had to pay back some of her refund, with interest!

Kalinda’s friend Maya lodged her return on 24 July. Her income, government payments, and private health details had all been pre-filled. With no errors on her return, she received her refund in the first week of August.

Take a leaf out of Maya’s book - waiting to lodge can pay off.

This is very important coming into EOFY and Tax season. The ATO will never message you to ask you for money (they love snail mail too much). Please do not click on any links and if in any doubt - delete, delete, delete!

This isn’t just a PSA to tell you you’re going to have to lodge your tax return soon. It’s a PSA to remind everyone that scammers may tell you your Tax File Number has been suspended or cancelled, ask for payment through gift cards, vouches or cryptocurrency, tell you to pay a fee for a refund and other instances to steal your money and identity.

Remember, the ATO will never:
👉 Ask for payment through gift cards, vouchers or cryptocurrency
👉 Ask you to pay in cash
👉 Ask for payment to receive a refund
👉 Send an email or SMS with a link to log in to their online services

This tax time make sure you:
💡 Are careful when downloading attachments or clinking on links, even if the message seems to come from someone you know.
💡 Enable multi-factor authentication on all your accounts.
💡 Don’t trust popup windows that ask you to download software.
💡 Keep your devices up to date with the latest operating system and anti-virus.
