Australia’s expanded AML/CTF regime from 1 July 2026 is more than a compliance change — it also changes how families, investors and advisers need to think about documentation.

In our recent discussion with SBS Vietnamese, Ha Nguyen - Advanced Partners’ Managing Director highlighted a practical issue we increasingly see in cross-border transactions: having the funds is not enough — being able to clearly evidence where the funds came from and how they moved is equally important.

This is particularly relevant where parents overseas provide significant financial support to children purchasing property in Australia.

Our practical message is simple:

“The path of the money should be supported by the path of the documents.”

Good planning and a clear paper trail can help ensure compliance and significantly reduce complications when the transaction eventually takes place. 📑

SBS Podcast : Insights on Australian Federal Budget 2026-27 and the Tax Reform 🔖

Following the release of the 2026–27 Federal Budget on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, the Australian Government has announced one of the most significant packages of structural tax reform in the past 25 years. Key areas of proposed change include Capital Gains Tax, Negative Gearing and Family Trusts Tax.

In the current environment, it is hard to ignore the growing sense of uncertainty.

What lies ahead? How should we respond? And what steps can we take now to protect and strengthen our financial position?

In times like these, clarity matters. 💡

In the latest podcast contributed to SBS Vietnamese, Ha Nguyen, Managing Director at Advanced Partners www.advancedpartners.com.au, shares insights on the key announcements of the Budget and what they may mean for business owners, investors and family groups.

Latest update: The Government is seeking to progress the first two proposed tax reforms, relating to negative gearing and the CGT discount, as quickly as possible. Draft legislation is expected to be released as early as tomorrow, so there will be more updates to come.

Stay informed, stay prepared and seek advice early. 📌

15 May is always a special day for tax agents and accounting firms in Australia, the day we need to meet the Australian Tax Office (ATO) lodgement benchmark by lodging at least 85% of our clients’ tax returns on time.

It may sound simple, but every firm knows how much work sits behind that number, especially in an environment of staff shortages and increasing compliance requirements in Australia.

Last year, AP reached the benchmark at 85.1% without requesting an ATO extension. This year, our team went even further - achieving close to 90% on-time lodgement one day before the deadline. 🙌

This milestone reflects the dedication of our whole team across Vietnam and Australia: the long hours, late-night emails, weekend work, and genuine commitment to our clients and to each other.

15 May is also extra special as it is the birthday of our Chief of Staff, Ms Janet Huong Giang. 🎂

Happy birthday, Giang, and congratulations to the entire AP Team on this wonderful achievement and another great year of teamwork together. ✨
