Got crypto or shares? Here is exactly what the ATO wants from you.

The ATO has full data matching in place with Australian crypto exchanges, share registries and international platforms, so anything you buy, sell or earn is on their radar whether you report it or not.

Not sure what you need to report? Reach out to Walker Hill.

General advice only. Please consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

Think your side hustle is flying under the ATO's radar? Think again. 👀

Between data matching from banks, PayPal, Uber, Airbnb, ride-share platforms, crypto exchanges and online marketplaces, the ATO has more visibility over your income than most people realise. If you are earning on the side, it needs to be declared.

The good news is a lot of your side hustle expenses can be claimed too, which can seriously offset what you owe.

Own a rental property? These are the claims the ATO is watching closely. 🏠

Rental deductions are one of the most common areas the ATO reviews, and getting them wrong can mean amendments, penalties and interest. Adam walks through the ones to be careful with, from interest on redraws used for personal expenses, to repairs vs improvements, to claiming the property as available for rent when it really isn't.

Getting this right the first time saves a lot of pain later.

Got a rental property and want to make sure your claims stack up? Reach out to Walker Hill.

Do I need a company yet? 📁

One of the most common questions we get from sole traders as their business starts to grow. The honest answer is that it depends on more than just how much you are making.

A few things worth thinking about before you make the switch:

→ Profit level: Once your business is consistently earning above certain thresholds, the company tax rate (25% for base rate entities) can be more efficient than paying tax at your personal marginal rate

→ Risk and liability: Sole traders are personally liable for the debts of the business. A company creates a separate legal entity, which offers protection for your personal assets

→ Reinvesting vs drawing: If you are pulling every dollar out to live on, a company structure adds cost without much benefit. If you are reinvesting into growth, it can start to make sense

→ Setup and ongoing costs: A company costs more to set up and comes with ongoing compliance, ASIC fees and annual reporting. Worth factoring in

→ Long-term plans: Bringing on partners, raising capital or eventually selling? A company usually makes that a lot cleaner

The wrong structure can cost you thousands in tax and admin every year. Getting a second opinion before you make the switch is worth it.

If you are the type to lodge your return the second EOFY hits, this is worth knowing for 2027. CPA Australia is urging Australians not to rush their returns, for two big reasons:

Amendment risk: Taxpayers who lodge before the ATO's pre-filled income data is finalised are more than twice as likely to need amendments later. Last year alone, over 595,000 returns had to be adjusted for missing income or overstated deductions.

Scam risk: Tax time is peak season for scammers impersonating the ATO via calls, texts and emails. In May this year alone, the ATO received nearly 1,400 reports of impersonation scams, up 11% on the previous month.

The takeaway for next year? Wait for your pre-fill data to be complete, use a registered tax agent, and never click a link or share info from an unexpected "ATO" message without verifying it through official channels first.

Save this one for July 2027.
