🎃 Don't let the October tax deadline give you a fright 👻

The usual deadline is 31 Oct BUT if you register with us as your tax agent before then, you could have until 17 May 2027 to lodge (AKA an extra six months to sit on it 🐕‍🦺)

Already a client of ours? You're in safe hands 🫶 We'll take care of your lodgement deadline, provided you're eligible.

📩 Not a client yet? Get in touch before the deadline and we'll help you get sorted.

Eligibility conditions apply.

Not trying to be dramatic but WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD ACCOUNTANTS HIDING?! 👀

Seriously. We're hiring, we're a great bunch of people and the office banter is very good. We're a vibe guys! No lie 💁‍♀️

So if you're an accountant looking for a change, or know a good one who might fit in with our crew, send them our way.

Come join the fun! (could be overselling the word 'fun' here ... it is tax after all 🫣) but you'll be well paid and have a good laugh with us along the way.

We’re SUPER busy and growing! Join a down-to-earth team with great clients, plenty of variety and no boring corporate vibes

🚨 FALSE ALARM! THE POINTS PARTY IS BACK ON! 💳✈️🎉

Remember when we told you the ATO was putting an end to your tax-bill-funded holidays? Well… turns out we held the funeral a little early.

The ATO has had a change of heart (well, kinda) and extended the credit card payment deadline from 1 December 2026 to 30 June 2027! 🙌

So, for those of you turning your tax bills into frequent flyer points, you've officially been given another 7 months to rack them up! ✈️🌴

RIP tax-bill points? Not just yet. They've been granted a stay of ex*****on 😂

Bad news for anyone who’s been turning their tax bills into Qantas points 😭✈️ From 1 December 2026, the ATO will no longer accept credit card payments!

So if you’ve been thinking “well, if I HAVE to give the ATO money, I may as well get a holiday out of it”… sadly, the party’s over.

And if you have an ATO payment plan linked to a credit card, make sure you update your payment method before your first instalment due after 30 November.

RIP tax-bill points. Gone but not forgotten 🪦✈️😪

Surely someone around here knows a good accountant 👀😅 We’re SUPER busy and looking for another great human to join our Banyo team.

If you know an accountant who might be ready for a change, give them a little nudge and send this their way... 100% they'll thank you for it 👇

Take a moment to check in with the people around you.

Ask the question, listen to the answer and make a little time for a convo that matters.

R U OK? 💛

Because the best time to talk about tax isn’t after the financial year is over. It’s usually before you BUY the thing. Before you CHANGE the thing. Before you have your BEST YEAR yet and wonder where all the profit went 🫣

We’re obviously here for the tax returns. But we’d also love to be part of the convo along the way too.

Running a business and looking for an accountant who actually gets to know it? Come talk to GTS 💚

Happy Father’s Day 💚

Here’s to the dads, stepdads, grandads, father figures and all the good humans doing the dad stuff.

And a little extra love today to anyone missing their person, wishing things looked a little different, or finding today a bit tricky 🫶

May your day include absolutely no discussion about what is and isn’t tax deductible ... Unless you really want to. We know some people 🤓

✨ Feature Friday ✨

This week’s feature is … me.

As the person who usually writes these, I’ve taken the completely unbiased approach of giving myself a turn. So please enjoy several slides of info about me that absolutely nobody asked for 💁‍♀️
