The Federal Government has announced a phased wind-back of the FBT exemption for electric vehicles starting 1 April 2027.

The good news: The full 100% exemption remains available for new arrangements until 31 March 2027, and existing leases will be grandfathered.

If you've been thinking about adding an EV to your business fleet or setting up a novated lease, timing your arrangements this financial year is critical to locking in maximum tax savings.

Big changes are coming to Australia’s payments landscape. Banning card surcharges is official, and all credit and debit card payment surcharges will end on 1 October 2026.

While businesses can no longer pass percentage or flat fees to customers, a simultaneous drop in underlying wholesale bank fees aims to save merchants $910 million annually.

If your business currently relies on surcharges, now is the time to audit your merchant fees, review your pricing matrix, and protect your margins ahead of next weeks, October deadline.

Did you know you could boost your super by up to $300,000 ($600k for couples) using the proceeds from your home sale, even if you’re already over your contribution caps?

The best part? You don’t actually have to 'downsize.' You can buy a larger home, move into a rental, or use the cash to travel. As long as you meet the criteria, how you live next is up to you.

Are you eligible?
- Aged 55 or older.
- Owned your Australian home for 10+ years.
- The home was your primary residence (CGT exempt).

Watch out for:
The 90-day deadline from settlement.
The mandatory ATO election form. Centrelink asset test changes.

Check your eligibility with the PPT team today.

A lot is shifting right now - rates, markets, super rules, trade. The best thing you can do is make sure your financial plan reflects where things actually stand, not where they were 12 months ago.

We're here to help with that review - get in touch on (03) 5331 3711, or visit us online at ppt.com.au

Have you made the most of your super contributions this financial year?

The concessional cap is $30,000 and if your super balance was below $500,000 at 30 June 2025, you may be able to carry forward unused amounts from previous years.

Contributions need to be received by your fund before 30 June.
Don't leave it to the last minute, get in touch this week, (03) 5331 3711.

Another RBA meeting, another decision to watch. With inflation still running above target and most major banks tipping a further hike in May, now is the time to review your mortgage, your business debt, and your cashflow, before the decision, not after.

We're here to help you get ahead of it. Call (03) 5331 3711.

The Australian Government is reviewing EV tax incentives, meaning the window to lock in significant savings may be closing.

While the 2025–26 framework still offers full FBT exemptions and higher LCT thresholds, the Treasury is considering "tapering" these benefits soon.

Review your strategy and consider initiating arrangements before potential 2027 legislative changes to secure your tax-exempt status.
