🤒 Well, it turns out even accountants can't claim a tax deduction for the flu!
I've been knocked around by a nasty dose of the flu this week and will be taking a couple of days to rest and recover. I plan to be back in the office on Thursday, ready to tackle your tax and accounting questions.
In the meantime, Liz is in the office and holding down the fort, so if you need assistance please don't hesitate to give us a call.
Thank you for your patience while I swap spreadsheets for tissues and coffee for cold-and-flu tablets! ☕➡️💊
Stay healthy everyone, and I'll see you all again on Thursday.

💰 TAX TIP – THOSE LITTLE CHARITY DONATIONS MAY NOW COUNT! 💰

One of the lesser-known tax changes announced is the removal of the $2 minimum donation threshold for tax-deductible gifts.

What does that mean?

Those small donations you make throughout the year may now be deductible, including:

🛒 Rounding up your shopping bill for charity
☕ Small workplace fundraising donations
❤️ Micro-donations through apps and payment platforms
🎗️ Other eligible charitable contributions

Many Australians make dozens of these small donations each year without thinking twice. Individually they may only be cents or a few dollars, but over a full financial year they can add up.

So before throwing away those receipts, take a second look. You may have more deductible donations than you realise.

As always, donations must be made to eligible charities and records should be retained.

Tax time is just around the corner!

⏰ PAYDAY SUPER IS COMING! ⏰

From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay their employees’ superannuation at the same time as wages are paid.

This is a major change from the current quarterly superannuation system and will impact businesses of all sizes.

What does this mean for employers?

✅ Super will need to be processed each pay run
✅ Cash flow planning will become more important
✅ Payroll systems may need updating
✅ Late super payments could be identified much sooner
✅ Additional penalties may apply for non-compliance

Now is the time to review your payroll processes and make sure your business is ready.

If you currently process payroll manually or only think about super once a quarter, we strongly recommend preparing well before 1 July 2026.

🚨 BIG CHANGES ARE COMING TO ACCOUNTING PRACTICES 🚨

From July 2026, accountants, tax agents and bookkeepers will be subject to new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) obligations under the Government’s Tranche 2 reforms.

What does this mean for our clients?

✅ We may need to verify your identity more frequently
✅ Additional documentation may be requested
✅ Enhanced client due diligence procedures will apply
✅ Ongoing monitoring and record-keeping requirements will increase
✅ There will be new compliance obligations for accounting practices

While most clients won’t notice significant changes, you may be asked to provide identification or other information that we have not previously requested.

These changes are being introduced across the accounting profession and are designed to strengthen Australia’s financial system and reduce financial crime.

Over the coming months, ATTAX will be implementing new systems, procedures and compliance processes to ensure we meet our obligations and continue providing professional services to our clients.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these changes roll out.

If you receive a request from us for identification or additional information, please understand that we are complying with new legal requirements.
