Happy New (Financial) Year from the team at Gilberts Accounting.

It's never too soon to at least look into options to get started on preparation for 2026 Tax Return lodgement.

Quite a few people think they should hold off, especially if payable. But why not have everything prepared, but not lodged, so you know what is to come and when, well in advance.

📣 **Small Business Owners – Time to Check Your GST Registration!**

As the year wraps up, it’s the perfect moment to review your GST obligations. The ATO is reminding small businesses to:
✅ Check if your turnover has reached the **$75,000 threshold** – if so, GST registration is required.
✅ Make sure your **GST-inclusive pricing** is clear to customers.
✅ Lodge your **Business Activity Statements (BAS)** on time.
✅ Keep accurate records to avoid compliance headaches in the new year.

👉 Exporters, remember that many overseas sales are **GST-free**, but you still need to report them correctly.
👉 If you’re under the threshold, registration is optional – but it can help you claim input tax credits.

Let’s start the new year strong by staying compliant and confident with our GST obligations 💼✨
