In response to the Reserve Bank’s reforms around card surcharging, the ATO recently announced it would stop accepting credit and debit card payments as of 1st December. This may create some real challenges for businesses that have previously relied on card facilities to manage their tax payments.

For businesses paying BAS, GST, or ATO payment plan instalments, card facilities have sometimes provided valuable breathing room, particularly where there’s a timing gap between paying tax obligations and receiving customer payments.

With this option no longer available, effective cash flow management becomes even more important.

At DDR Bookkeeping, we can help you stay on top of your cash flow through:

- Cash flow forecasting

- Accurate tracking of income and outgoing expenses

- Managing accounts receivable and improving payment cycles

- Better planning for upcoming tax and supplier obligations

If you’d like to get a better handle on your business cash flow, understand where your cash is going, and be able to anticipate upcoming commitments, contact DDR Bookkeeping today for a free and confidential discussion.

On 1st October, the Reserve Bank's reforms on card surcharging came into effect, removing the ability for businesses to on-charge payment fees for debit, prepaid, and credit cards.

For consumers, it means the advertised price of a product is what they pay at the register.

For businesses, it means either absorbing the cost and reducing profit, or increasing pricing to cover merchant fees that were previously paid by the consumer.

At DDR Bookkeeping, we can help you navigate this change, and ensure your product or service pricing is correct.

Do you use SMS with a branded sender ID to communicate with customers?

From 1 July 2026, businesses using branded SMS sender IDs need to register with the SMS Sender ID Register.

If you're not registered, your messages could appear as "Unverified" on your customers' phones, potentially reducing trust and increasing the chance they'll be ignored or grouped with scam messages.

This could affect important communications such as appointment reminders, overdue payment notices, marketing campaigns, and customer updates.

More information can be found at https://www.acma.gov.au/sms-sender-id-register

At DDR Bookkeeping, we do much more than just balance the books.

While everyone is being bombarded with alerts about Pay Day Super, you may have missed the Fair Work Commission announcing a 4.75% increase to the National Minimum Wage.

Most employees are covered by an industry award, and updated minimum pay rates are expected to be released before 1 July 2026.

The new rates for each award will apply from the first full pay period on or after 1 July. For example, employers who use a weekly Monday to Sunday pay period must be applying the increased rate for hours worked on Monday 6th July.

At DDR Bookkeeping, we can help you interpret and manage payroll across one or multiple awards, and ensure you stay compliant with all payroll obligations.

Contact us today for a free, confidential consultation.
