clvq8qzjj000b08jz3mmjeoik Navigating complexities of crypto investments: SMSFs
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
The digital currency landscape continues to be treacherous terrain for Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) trustees, with a growing number of reports indicating significant losses due to a variety of factors, including scams, theft, and collapsed trading platforms. The ATO is urging trustees to educate themselves on the potential pitfalls of crypto investing, including the fact that many crypto assets are not classified as financial products. This means that the platforms facilitating their trade often lack regulation, increasing the risk of loss without recourse.

clv68yqgs000b08jv5ui6cuje Old ATO debts: IGTO weighs in
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
ATO’s recent actions to activate debts, some decades old, and either offsetting them against tax refunds or issuing demands to pay from taxpayers have caused considerable angst among many. In light of this, the Commonwealth Ombudsman/ACT Ombudsman, and the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman (IGTO) have jointly issued new guidelines aimed at improving how Australians are notified about government debts to ensure that the process of debt notification is handled with transparency, clarity and sensitivity towards impacted individuals.

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
The start of April signals the approach of FBT lodgment time. With the landscape of FBT evolving every year due to legislative amendments and administrative updates, employers need to be mindful of the changes applying for the current FBT year. For the 2023-24 FBT year, 25 May 2024 is the deadline for employers to lodge returns and pay any associated liabilities. However, employers that lodge FBT returns electronically through tax practitioners will have access to a deferred due and payment date of 25 June 2024.

cluav397h000b08la3utk9311 Rental bond data matching program continues
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
The ATO has announced that it will continue rental bond data matching to the 2025-26 income year. This program first commenced in 2005, collected data dating back to 1985 and has continued since then. According to ATO estimates, records relating to around 900,000 properties will be obtained each financial year. This data will be used to identify under-reporting or non-reporting of income in tax returns, the misapplication of CGT provisions leading to under or non-reporting in relation to sale of properties, and non-compliance with foreign investment laws.
clu28nk5y000j08l52k0lbyx7 ATO concerns over Div 7A
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
Division 7A of the ITAA 1936 was originally introduced as a way to uphold the integrity of the tax system by ensuring the fair taxation of transactions between private companies and their stakeholders. As it is such a complex area, the ATO is working in partnership with tax professionals in 2024 to raise awareness of common errors and issues identified. These include keeping adequate records, properly accounting for and reporting payments as well as the use of company assets by shareholders and associates, and complying with rules around Div 7A loans.
clt88jn19001g08jr8fbug6ub SBSCH and SMSF bank account validation
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
To safeguard retirement savings held in SMSFs from fraud and misconduct, the ATO is rolling out new security features. One soon to be implemented feature consists of checking for a match between an employee’s SMSF bank account details and the SMSF record when electronic payments are made via the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH). Where there is a mismatch, SBSCH cannot accept payments to an employee’s SMSF until the error is resolved.
clsy8d5aq000d08leehw61e23 Australia’s love affair with SMSFs continues
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
Establishing a self managed superannuation fund (SMSF) offers a variety of benefits, so it is perhaps no surprise that in the latest data released by the ATO, the number of SMSFs in Australia continues to grow as more people seek to take advantage of control and flexibility offered. However, taxpayers seeking to establish SMSFs should also be aware of the challenges and considerations that can significantly impact these funds’ suitability for individual retirement planning, such as the complexity and responsibilities involved.
clso8fkfq000b08l6dqdoehkz FBT electric vehicle home charging rate
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
With the rise in businesses purchasing EVs for the use of their employees, the ATO has finalised its guidelines setting out the methodology for calculating the cost of electricity when an eligible electric vehicle is charged at an employee’s or an individual’s home. The rate of 4.20 cents per km has been listed as the appropriate figure and will apply from 1 April 2022 and later FBT years. To use this rate, employers will need to keep a record of the distance travelled by car and a valid logbook must be maintained if the operating cost method is used.
clse7g7dw001o08jz0a8j7ows Tackling offshore tax evasion
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
With the revelation that an increasing number of ordinary professional Australians are turning to establishing offshore companies as a way to decrease the amount of tax paid in Australia, the ATO has warned against the move and is using the many tools available to it to tackle the problem before it becomes established. This includes using advance data analytics to identify and cross-reference information from various sources, actively participating in the exchange of tax information with various countries and gathering information through multi-agency taskforces.
cls47y7or000b08ju9hcagvik Stage 3 tax cuts vs proposed changes
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
With the government finally caving into pressure to change the stage 3 tax cuts despite previous promises to keep the already legislated measure, new proposed tax rates have been flagged to come into place from 1 July 2024 which largely benefits those earning less than $45,000. The government will now be starting a campaign to win support for these proposed changes from various senators to ensure amending legislation is introduced and passed before 1 July 2024 when the original stage 3 changes were due to apply.
clrk7xow9000f08jscdb71310 Employee vs contractors: new rules
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
Following two prominent High Court decisions which dealt with the distinction between employees and independent contractors, the ATO has sought to provide guidance to businesses in the form of a Taxation Ruling. The most significant departure from its previous position is that the ATO now considers that various indicia of employment identified in case law, while relevant, should only be considered in respect of the legal rights and obligations between the parties, with the most important factor the holistic consideration of the contract between the parties.
clq676u4u000q08jx2vxp90sf ATO areas of interest for the coming year
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
As 2024 approaches, the ATO has highlighted three areas of focus for businesses which will persist into the new year. These include steps to address cyber security and increased protection of personal data, addressing the growth in the collectable debt book particularly for small businesses, and improving overall tax performance and stamping out the shadow economy. The takeaway message for businesses, especially small businesses, for the coming year is to be proactive and engaged with the ATO in terms of any unpaid tax or super debts and securing their data.
clpw7a0y4000b08lb3knhdtoz Holiday homes not genuinely available for rent
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
Owners of holiday homes should be aware that deductions may not be able to be claimed where a property is not genuinely available for rent. Factors that may indicate a property is not genuinely available for rent may surprise, and could include “unreasonable or stringent conditions” placed on renting out the property, such as “no children” and “no pets”. In instances where there is a short-term accommodation restriction by the State or Local government for part of the year, or where the owner uses the property for personal purposes for part of the year, expenses may have to be apportioned.
clpm74dwo000b08iff5q90p9h ATO pauses debts on hold campaign
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
The ATO has apologised for the “unnecessary distress” caused to taxpayers with its recent awareness campaign around tax debts that were previously put on hold. Recently, the ATO had written to some small businesses with debts on hold greater than $50 to inform them that offsetting of debts will apply. It notes that the purpose of the letters was to ensure that taxpayers had full visibility of their existing debts with the ATO, however, it will pause the campaign to allow a review into its overall approach to debts on hold before progressing any further.
clpc6rm9l000b08l9965958hc Employer SG obligations: annual report
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
In the most recent employer super guarantee compliance and obligations report from the ATO, most employers seem to be doing the right thing by their employees and complying with super guarantee obligations without intervention. This rate has remained steady from the previous year. Going forward, as a part of the government announced a package to move to “pay day” super, the ATO will have improved SG recovery targets each year which is to commence from the 2026-27 financial year.
clp2729re000k08jrfqkmaksa ASIC identifies suspicious investment opportunities
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
ASIC has published an investor alert list which may help consumers to identify whether entities they are considering investing with could be fraudulent, a scam or unlicensed. This new investor alert list replaces the previous list of “companies you should not deal with” issued by ASIC but has the advantage of including both domestic and international entities that the regulators are concerned about. The alert list also includes imposter entities. For consumers looking to invest, ASIC recommends conducting various checks before handing over any money.
clos5hgjm000b08l811q922ua ATO’s GST compliance focus
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
At a recent conference, the ATO’s GST focus areas for 2023-24 were outlined. In addition to its previous focus on small businesses, the ATO will also implement a targeted industry strategy in relation to privately owned high wealth groups focusing on retail, construction, and retirement village industries. It is hoped that this targeted approach will allow the ATO to understand the distinctive issues facing each industry and pinpoint areas or risk to develop tailored approaches to ensure entities within particular industries are paying the correct amount of GST.
cloi5dkg9000b08l870zac9ko International businesses and GST
Valid Invalid date - Invalid date
GST is a broad-based tax on 10% of most goods, services and other items sold or consumed in Australia. It doesn’t just apply to Australian businesses; international businesses may need to register and pay Australian GST if their GST turnover from sales connected to Australia is AUD$75,000 or more over a 12-month period. For most international businesses, the easiest way to manage this obligation is to apply for simplified GST registration with the ATO, which will allow for online lodgment and payment of GST obligations.

The help and guidance that I received when my partner passed away was particularly exceptional. I've been using Duesburys for more than 15 years and the staff have always been extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Neville has been my primary accountant he is so exceptionally helpful. Without his guidance I would have found the challenge of continuing to run our business and preparing for the future much more difficult. Thank you so much for everything.
