【Why Is Your Accountant Suddenly Asking Where Your Money Came From?】

Over the past few months, we have been hearing the same questions from clients:

“Will it become harder to transfer money from overseas into Australia?”

“If my parents gift me money, or I invest overseas funds into Australia, will I be asked for more documentation?”

The short answer is:

Legitimate funds and normal transactions are not the problem. However, being able to explain the source of funds will become increasingly important.

From 1 July 2026, Australia’s new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) reforms will come into effect.

The changes don’t just affect banks.

Accountants, lawyers, real estate agents, conveyancers and other professional service providers will also be required to conduct additional identity verification and source-of-funds checks.

This means that if you are:

✔ Receiving overseas funds

✔ Purchasing property

✔ Establishing a company or trust

✔ Bringing in investors

✔ Undertaking business acquisitions

You may be asked to provide more supporting documentation than before.

What should individuals be aware of?

If you are involved in:

• Overseas transfers into Australia

• Parental gifts for property purchases

• Overseas investment funds

• Trust-owned assets

• Commercial property transactions

Consider keeping copies of:

✓ Bank statements

✓ Transfer records

✓ Gift letters

✓ Loan agreements

✓ Sale and purchase contracts

These documents may become important evidence of the source of your funds.

What should business owners be aware of?

For SMEs, the focus will increasingly be on financial transparency.

Activities such as:

• Company formation

• Share transfers

• Bringing in investors

• Business acquisitions

• Trust restructuring

may require additional information, including:

✓ Shareholding structure charts

✓ Trust structure diagrams

✓ Beneficial ownership information

✓ Source of investment funds

✓ Explanation of fund flows

Businesses involving overseas investors, overseas shareholders, Family Trusts or Unit Trusts may face more frequent due diligence reviews.

What should you do now?

My recommendation is simple:

Start building your own “Source of Funds File” today.

Keep records of:

✓ Large transfers

✓ Overseas remittances

✓ Gift documentation

✓ Loan agreements

✓ Investment contracts

✓ Share transfer documents

✓ Trust deeds and trust records

In the future, compliance will not only be about lodging tax returns.

You may also need to clearly explain:

Where did the money come from? Why was it transferred? Who ultimately controls it?

Good record-keeping today can save significant delays, questions and stress later when dealing with banks, accountants, lawyers and regulators.

The businesses and individuals who prepare early will be in a much stronger position when these new rules take effect.

【How much will you need to live well in retirement?】

Retirement planning is not only about calculating a number. It is about understanding the lifestyle you want, the choices you may need to make, and the confidence you want to build for the future.

ASIC’s Moneysmart Retirement Planner can help Australians explore retirement income from super, the Age Pension, investments and different life scenarios.

At Eway Growth Partners, we encourage individuals and business owners to take 10 minutes to review where they are today and whether they are on track for the retirement they want.

The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The second-best time is now.

【Super Benefits You May Missed】

When it comes to year-end tax planning, many people focus only on deductions. However, two superannuation benefits are often missed:

1. Government Super Co-contribution

This may apply if you are a low or middle-income earner and make an eligible after-tax contribution to your super.

For 2025–26: If your income is $47,488 or below, you may receive up to $500 from the government.

The benefit gradually reduces once your income is above this threshold and cuts out at $62,488.

In simple terms: You put after-tax money into super, and the government may match up to 50%, capped at $500.

2. Spouse Super Contribution Tax Offset

This may apply if you contribute to your spouse’s super and your spouse has a low income.

If your spouse’s income is $37,000 or below, you may receive a tax offset of up to $540.
The offset gradually reduces and cuts out when your spouse’s income reaches $40,000.

The maximum offset is calculated as:
$3,000 contribution × 18% = $540

Important timing reminder: Super contributions generally need to be received by the super fund before 30 June. It is not enough to simply transfer the money on the last day.

These benefits may not apply to everyone, but they are worth checking before year-end, especially if you or your spouse have a lower income this financial year.

Eligibility depends on income, contribution type, super balance, contribution caps and cash flow position.

Time for Tax Planning｜Individual Year-End Tax Planning

When people hear “tax planning,” many assume it’s only for business owners or high-income earners.

In reality, personal tax planning is much simpler—and more relevant—than it sounds.

It’s about taking a moment before the end of the financial year to review: your income, super contributions, timing of expenses, and supporting records.

Because every dollar is earned with effort, planning ahead is not just about reducing tax—
it’s about making informed decisions within the rules and protecting your cash flow.

As we approach the end of the 2025–26 financial year, there are three key areas worth reviewing:

1. Super

Check your concessional contribution cap ($30,000), including employer contributions and salary sacrifice.

If eligible, unused caps from previous years may be carried forward (subject to conditions).
Make sure contributions are received by your fund before 30 June if you intend to claim a deduction.

2. Timing

If your income is higher this year, consider whether certain deductible expenses can be brought forward— such as donations, income protection insurance, or prepayment of eligible expenses.

The focus is not to spend for the sake of tax, but to ensure timing aligns with your financial position.

3. Records

Many deductions are not denied because of the rules, but because of missing evidence.

For example, work-related car expenses may require a logbook (typically a 12-week record).
Refinancing or loan changes? Keep interest summaries and loan documents ready.

Personal tax planning doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s simply about reviewing your financial position before year-end and putting things in order.

The earlier you act, the more choices you have.
The later you leave it, the more reactive it becomes.

Time for tax planning — respect the effort you’ve put in this year.

【 Time for Tax Planning | Don’t Wait Until Tax Season to Start 】

Running a business has not been easy in recent years. Rising costs, cash flow pressure, policy changes and market uncertainty have made every decision more challenging.

That is exactly why year-end is a good time to pause and review:

How is the business performing this year?
What is the estimated tax position?
Is cash flow sufficient?
What needs to be actioned before 30 June?

Many tax planning opportunities are time-sensitive. Once the financial year closes, the window to act may be gone.

A practical year-end review may include:

1. Profit and cash flow position
Prepare an estimate of full-year profit and tax payable, and review whether PAYG instalments should be varied to avoid unnecessary cash flow pressure or future tax surprises.

2. Asset purchase timing
Eligible small businesses may consider the instant asset write-off rules. The focus should not be unnecessary spending, but whether the asset is genuinely required, meets the relevant criteria, and is installed or ready for use before 30 June.

3. Timing of deductible expenses
Where profit is higher than expected, it may be worth reviewing the timing of certain expenses, such as prepayments, interest or service costs, provided they are commercially justifiable and compliant.

4. Superannuation contributions
Although the statutory due date for the April–June quarter is usually in July, a deduction generally depends on the super fund receiving the contribution before 30 June. Timing matters.

5. Dividends and trust distributions
Company dividends and trust distributions should also be considered before year-end. Trust distributions, in particular, usually need to be dealt with in accordance with the trust deed and relevant timing requirements.

Year-end tax planning is not just about “paying less tax”. It is about understanding your tax position, cash flow, business structure and compliance obligations before decisions become reactive.

Time for tax planning.
The earlier you start, the more options you have.

Today is ANZAC Day.

Across Australia, many people gather before sunrise to attend Dawn Services.

The tradition of the Dawn Service is often linked to the military practice known as “stand-to”. During the First World War, dawn was one of the most vulnerable times on the battlefield, when soldiers were woken before sunrise to stand guard and remain alert.

Over time, this quiet moment of early morning watchfulness became a way for veterans and communities to honour those who served, remember those who did not return, and reflect on the cost of war. It also carries a deep connection to 25 April 1915, when the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, known as the ANZACs, landed at Gallipoli.

In today’s world, where uncertainty remains and conflict still affects many parts of the world, remembrance carries even greater weight.

We honour sacrifice.
We reflect on war.
We cherish peace.

May ordinary people in every corner of the world live far from war, in days of peace, and protect what they love.

Lest we forget.
