: The Federal Government has paused a planned ban on credit card tax payments until next financial year following days of pushback from small business groups.

The move backtracks on an earlier Tax Office decision to stop card payments, ahead of upcoming surcharge rule changes.

Card fees and ATO debt payments:

From the 1st October, surcharges on eftpos are no longer being on-charged to retail customers. Please remember that your business will still be charged these fees by your merchant provider, so please plan accordingly.

The ATO has also just announced that as from the end of October, the ATO will no longer accept payments by credit card (this includes Amex and other ‘points cards’).

It has come to my attention (from other tax agents) that the ATO may be sending letters direct to tax payers querying their previously reported Capital Gains.

If you receive a letter, and I prepared your lodgement, please call me to discuss before engaging with the ATO.

It unfortunately appears that ATO data matching has some erroneous errors….

7yrs ago Natalia and Crystal believed that people in regional and rural QLD deserved to have access to great services and they founded Strong Communities Ltd. I’m very proud to volunteer as a Director on the Board of this Social Enterprise.

Strong Communities is a non profit that is in business to improve our community.

Our staff are passionate and highly skilled, and Strong Communities is having a real social impact across Central Queensland families and our community.

It was amazing to be given the opportunity to attend these awards on behalf of Crystal and the Strong Communities team.

Winning this award recognises the achievements of not just our team, but also those we work with, those who sponsor us, and the community for believing in us and supporting our journey.

🎉 Happy New Financial Year!

It’s that time of year again!

Individual tax returns can now be booked online via my website.

Please note that availability is limited during July/August (whilst I prioritise business compliance).

For most people, there’s no need to rush to lodge in July, and booking from late August is recommended.

I look forward to helping you this tax season.

The end of the financial year is upon us and boy has the year flown!

If you intend to claim motor vehicle deductions via the logbook method, please make sure your logbook remains compliant by entering the codometer reading in it at the end of each financial year.

If you are using the c/km method then this won't be necessary.

Residential investment properties: what last night’s budget will change about negative gearing (using rental expenses to reduce wage earnings etc). If you’ve already purchased a property there is NO change to the deductions claimed.

If you haven’t yet signed a contract, you will experience these changes. This info is just negative gearing related, not related to the tax that will know apply on selling the property.

Tonight the treasurer released a budget that has widespread impact for all tax payers, from individuals to businesses running as trusts, and companies. 😱

Most of the impacts will not occur until AFTER 1 July 2027.

Once I’ve had time to research the new legislation fully, I will provide FB updates and I will reach out to more complex clients that may need to restructure their entity structures to avoid the massive 30% flat tax on all trust distributions (we will have 3 years to restructure). 😳

I appreciate your patience as I do need to make sure I fully understand the legislation before offering any advice/discussions. 🙏

If you want to reduce your study loan balance before indexation applies, you’ll need to make a voluntary repayment by 26 May. This will allow enough time for your payment to be processed.

There are a few ways you can make a voluntary repayment - including BPAY and credit card.

Repayments cannot be claimed as a tax deduction.
