Payday Super Update: Legislation Now Before Parliament

The government’s payday super reforms have officially moved to the next stage, with legislation now introduced to Parliament.

Under the proposed changes, employers will need to pay super on payday, giving employees more frequent contributions that grow sooner—and helping reduce unpaid super.

A key shift in the rules: contribution deadlines will be measured in business days, not calendar days, with employers given 7 business days to make payments.

The legislation still needs to pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate before it becomes law, but it’s a great time for businesses to start preparing.

🎉🎉 HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, STACEY! 🎉🎉

Today we’re celebrating our very own tax whizz, spreadsheet superstar, client-care champion and all-round wonderful human, Stacey!

From the leafy suburbs of Melbourne’s North East to Monash Uni, a year in the city, a stint in Tasmania, and finally putting down firm roots in Hamilton in 1999… Stacey’s journey has been full and inspiring. And we’re so glad it brought her here. 🌱❤️

Before joining the accounting world, Stacey ran her own small business, then became a Chartered Accountant and joined CoggerGurry in 2008. She recently completed her Masters in Taxation with UNSW, a huge achievement that reflects her passion for helping businesses understand their numbers and grow with confidence.

Stacey is everything you want in a trusted adviser: caring, smart, steady, and always willing to go above and beyond for her clients.

When she’s not working her tax magic, she’s enjoying life with husband Daz and their gorgeous family — Ella, Archie and Maggie.

Here’s to 50 years of warmth, wisdom and quiet brilliance Stacey. We’re incredibly lucky to have you as part of the CoggerGurry family. 💛

🎂✨ Happy Birthday, Stacey! Let the celebrations begin! 🥂💐

Vouchers And GST In Your Business

If your business sells or buys vouchers, it’s essential to understand how to account for and report GST correctly.

A voucher is a document or an electronic record that represents a right to receive goods or services. This includes physical gift cards, digital vouchers and even prepaid phone cards.

When your business sells a voucher, you’re essentially providing the recipient with a promise to supply goods or services in the future, and it’s at this future point that the GST implications come into play.

Start Your Year-End Payroll, Tax And Employee Leave Planning Now

The end-of-year holiday period can be make or break for your business. Whether you’re gearing up for a rush or planning a shutdown, the key is early planning for payroll, tax and super, alongside careful compliance with workplace laws.

Start by checking whether any year-end paydays will fall on public holidays or during your closure. If so, you’ll need to bring the pay run forward so staff are paid before bank cut offs, and tell employees about any temporary date changes in writing.

While the ATO generally allows lodgment and payment on the next business day when a due date falls on a weekend or public holiday, that doesn’t extend to paying wages late. Report each pay run through Single Touch Payroll (STP) on or before payday, including any brought forward payments you’re processing before year-end closure.

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) is a government payment to help families with the cost of raising children. Despite its name, it’s not a tax refund or tax deduction – it’s a social security benefit to help with everyday costs like food, education, clothing and other child-rearing expenses.

FTB has two parts. Part A is the main payment available to most eligible families, and Part B is an extra payment for single parents or certain single income families (usually where one parent stays home or works part-time). Importantly, FTB is paid by Services Australia (through Centrelink), not the ATO.

To be eligible, you must have at least one dependent child in your care aged 0–15 years, or a full-time secondary student aged 16–19. Your child must be an Australian resident and you must meet certain residency rules.

FTB is means-tested, and there are income tests for both Part A and Part B payments. FTB isn’t a tax refund

Medicare Levy

What’s the difference between the Medicare levy and the Medicare levy surcharge?

Many people getting their tax notice of assessment wonder why they see amounts for the Medicare levy and Medicare levy surcharge. Here’s how it works.

The Medicare levy is a compulsory charge that helps fund Australia’s public healthcare system. Almost all Australians pay this levy, which is 2% of your taxable income. The levy is generally withheld from your pay by your employer throughout the year, so you may not notice it until tax time.

It’s important to note that having private health insurance doesn’t exempt you from paying the Medicare levy; it only affects your liability for the Medicare levy surcharge. In certain limited cases, such as if you’re a low-income earner, a foreign resident or have a medical exemption, you may qualify for a reduced rate or full exemption.

The Truth About FBT And Your Business’s Work Ute

If your business provides vehicles for employees to use in their work duties, you may have heard that providing a dual cab ute is automatically exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT). Unfortunately that’s not quite right, and believing the myth could leave you with an unexpected tax bill.

While dual cab utes can be exempt from FBT, they need to meet specific conditions, and employees’ personal use of work vehicles is an important factor.

Fringe benefits tax is what you pay as an employer when you provide benefits to your employees or their
families, like allowing them to use a work vehicle for personal trips. It’s separate from income tax and is your responsibility, not your employees’.
