When does a hobby become a business?

Many people don’t realise that their hobby or side hustle can quietly cross the line into a business from a tax perspective.

If you’re earning money regularly, you may already be carrying on a business, even if you don’t think of yourself as one.

Generally, a business exists where there are ongoing and repeated activities with an intention to make a profit, such as:
✔️ Regularly selling goods or providing services
✔️ Holding licences or permits where required
✔️ Keeping records of income and expenses

On the flip side, it may not be a business if:
➖ The activity is a one-off
➖ There’s no intention to make a profit
➖ You’re working solely as an employee, not independently

The distinction matters because it affects tax obligations, deductions, and reporting. If you’re unsure whether your hobby or side hustle has become a business, it’s worth getting advice early, before tax time surprises you.

Big Changes to Employee Super Are Coming!

From 1 July 2026, the ATO is introducing Payday Super — and if you employ staff, this will affect how you process payroll.
Here’s what you need to know.

💼 What’s Changing?
🔹 Super must be paid on payday
No more quarterly payments — super needs to be sent to your employees’ super funds every pay run and received within 7 business days.
🔹 Super will be calculated differently
Instead of just ordinary time earnings (OTE), super will be based on Qualifying Earnings (QE), which includes OTE plus other payments.
🔹 Stronger penalties for late payments
If super isn’t paid and received on time, the super guarantee charge will apply — with daily interest.
🔹 Single Touch Payroll will expand
Employers will need to report both QE and super liability in each pay cycle.
🔹 Small Business Super Clearing House is closing
SBSCH will close on 30 June 2026, so businesses will need a new solution to process super.

✅ What Should Employers Do Now?
✔ Review your payroll software and processes
✔ Consider shifting to more frequent super payments now
✔ Talk to your bookkeeper or accountant
✔ Keep up to date with ATO announcements

These changes are designed to help employees grow their super faster — but they also mean businesses need to prepare early.
If you need help reviewing your payroll setup or understanding how this impacts your business, we’re here to help. 👋

A Timely Reminder on Substantiation as ART Rejects $61K in Work‑Related Expense Claims

The Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) has recently affirmed the ATO’s decision to deny over $61,000 in work‑related expense deductions claimed by a taxpayer, highlighting how critical proper evidence is when lodging returns.

The taxpayer, an engineer working partly from home, claimed a range of deductions—including car, travel, clothing, and home office expenses. The ART disallowed many of these due to inadequate substantiation.

Key issues included:

🔍 Car expenses:
Logbooks were not kept contemporaneously and didn’t match independent records such as vehicle service documentation.

🔍 Travel expenses:
Claims for taxi and rideshare trips lacked essential details (dates, times, destinations), and the taxpayer could not clearly distinguish reimbursed from unreimbursed travel.

🔍 Home office expenses:
Only estimated business‑use percentages were provided, without evidence of the actual utility costs. The ART also found the apportionment method neither fair nor reasonable.

💡 Takeaway for taxpayers:
Work‑related expenses are only deductible when you can clearly demonstrate both eligibility and substantiation. Estimates without documentation are unlikely to withstand ATO scrutiny.

If you or your team need guidance on record‑keeping or ensuring your deductions meet compliance standards, our firm is here to support you.
