Have an eggs-ellent Easter Break!
We’ll be closing the office for the long weekend, if you are closing too – be aware of the payroll implications.
How do you show your team that you appreciate them?
If you’re thinking of conveying recognition with a gift – keep the fun business tax (or Fringe Benefits Tax if you want to use the technical term) in mind.
Employee of the month awards and a public pat on the back can also be powerful (and cost effective).
Public holidays – don’t forget your fairwork obligations!
You need to pay all full time and part time staff for the normal hours they would have worked on Australia Day if you close your workplace.
If you open your workplace, all employees have the right to not work. Employers can request employees to work on a public holiday, but the request has to be reasonable. An employee can refuse a request to work if the employee has reasonable grounds to refuse or the request is unreasonable. Check awards for payrates.
The Hardship of Accounting
by Robert Frost
Never ask of money spent
Where the spender thinks it went.
Nobody was ever meant
To remember or invent
What he did with every cent.
Sick of conversations with the ATO about missing deadlines?
What actions do you need to take this year to avoid the tax office jailhouse?

Christmas time wages – so easy!
If you are closing your office you need to know about public holidays and how they effect wages for your team. Different states declare different public holidays, part-time staff need to be paid their normal hours, they do not need to make up the time on another day.
If your workplace remains open, you need to know about public holiday payrates/loadings and minimum shift lengths.
Check out all the details here or ask us to help.
Thinking about rewarding staff with a bonus?
Don’t forget super is likely to apply and you’ll need to use the schedule 5 tax scale to work out the tax to withhold.
If you don’t process and report the payment properly – you can’t claim a tax deduction.
Wishing you a very merry Aussie Xmas and a Happy New Year!
Enjoy a koala-ty break, wattle you do this year?
Our office will close at noon Friday 22nd December and reopen 9am Monday 8th January.
Delivering gifts down the chimney this year? Don’t get stuck with extra tax to pay!
Best to refresh your memory on the allowable deductions and FBT rules, before the hitting the shops, so you don’t end up with any surprise tax to pay!
