"I have enjoyed 10 years of Dot Rose providing amazingly thorough professional advice to my business. Dot has terrific business acumen and routinely provides tips and strategies that make me wonder why I ever sought advice from anyone else. Her attention to detail is only exceeded by her practical approach to things that other consultants would classify as problems. Every business needs Dot Rose." Brendan Bourke

🚨 TRADIE MYTH: “They have an ABN and send me an invoice, so I don’t have to pay super.”

Not necessarily.

You may still need to pay super for an individual subcontractor if:

🔨 The contract is mainly for their labour
🔨 They are required to perform the work personally
🔨 They are being paid for their time and skills, rather than to complete a specific result

This can commonly arise when tradies engage labourers or other sole traders on an hourly or daily rate.

Having an ABN, submitting invoices or being called a “subcontractor” does not automatically remove your super obligations.

With Payday Super now in effect, it is more important than ever to correctly assess each subcontractor before they start.

Not sure whether your subcontractors should be receiving super? We can help you review the arrangement before it becomes an expensive problem.

Happy New Financial Year! 🥂

It may not come with fireworks or a midnight countdown, but for business owners, bookkeepers and accountants, 1 July definitely has that fresh-start feeling.

A new financial year is the perfect time to reset, tidy up the loose ends, review what is working, and set your business up for the months ahead.

Here’s to clean books, organised records, fewer last-minute surprises and a smooth year ahead.

Happy FY2027!

Income tax and GST often get lumped together, but they are very different things.

GST is collected and reported through your BAS. Income tax is calculated on your taxable profit and handled through your income tax return.

It is also important to understand who can help with what:

A bookkeeper helps keep your records accurate and up to date.

A registered BAS Agent can assist with GST, BAS, payroll, STP, super and other BAS-related obligations.

A registered Tax Agent assists with income tax returns, tax advice and tax planning.

The right support at the right time can make a big difference to how confidently you manage your business obligations.

At SCS Bookkeepers & BAS Agents, we help business owners stay on top of their bookkeeping, BAS and payroll so they have clean, accurate records ready for tax time.

📱 SMS CHANGES ARE COMING

From 1 July 2026, businesses that send SMS messages using a business name instead of a mobile number may need to ensure their SMS Sender ID is registered.

If your customers receive messages showing your business name, such as appointment reminders, notifications or marketing messages, it is worth checking with your software or SMS provider to see if any action is required.

Businesses that do not register their Sender ID may find their messages appear as “Unverified”, which could impact customer trust and engagement.

What should you do?
✔ Check whether your business uses a branded SMS Sender ID
✔ Contact your software or SMS provider
✔ Confirm whether registration is required before 1 July 2026

This change generally does not affect businesses that send SMS messages directly from a standard mobile phone number.

Not sure if this applies to your business? Reach out to your software provider or contact us and we’ll point you in the right direction.

👕 What workwear can you actually claim?
Just because you wear it to work, doesn’t always mean it’s claimable.
✅ Safety gear and PPE like gloves, hi-vis, steel caps and safety glasses are usually okay.
❌ Everyday clothing like plain jeans, hoodies, t-shirts and normal jackets usually aren’t claimable, even if they get dirty onsite.
The general rule?
If it protects you, your staff, or is clearly identifiable as workwear, you’re usually on the right track.
Not sure? Better to ask before the ATO asks later.

💳 Just because the money left your account doesn’t mean the ATO will accept it as proof!

An EFTPOS receipt tells you how you paid — not what you bought.

For business expenses, you still need a proper tax invoice or receipt showing:
✅ Supplier details
✅ What was purchased
✅ Date of purchase
✅ GST details (where applicable)

Save yourself the stress at BAS time — keep the invoice, not just the payment slip! 🙌

GST can be confusing when you’re growing your business.

One of the most common questions we hear is:

*“When do I actually need to register for GST?”*

In most cases, you need to register for GST once your business turnover reaches $75,000 or more. You also need to keep an eye on your expected turnover, not just what has already happened.

A few simple things to remember:

✅ If you are not registered for GST, you generally should not be charging GST on your invoices.
✅ If you are registered for GST, you need to charge GST on taxable sales and lodge a BAS.
✅ If you think your turnover is getting close to the threshold, it is better to check early rather than fix it later.
✅ Once you become aware you need to register, you generally have 21 days to do it.

This is why regular bookkeeping matters. It helps you spot these things before they become a messy clean-up job.
