Why Do I Suddenly Owe Tax This Year? ๐Ÿค”

Youโ€™ve been paying tax from every payslipโ€ฆ so why do you still have a tax bill? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

There are a few reasons this can happen, including:
โ€ข Having more than one job
โ€ข Changes in your income
โ€ข HELP/HECS repayments
โ€ข Additional income
โ€ข Not having enough tax withheld throughout the year

It doesnโ€™t necessarily mean something has gone wrong. Your tax return looks at your overall tax position for the financial year to work out whether youโ€™ve paid the right amount of tax.

๐Ÿ’ก Not sure why you owe tax? We can help you understand whatโ€™s contributing to your tax bill, make sure youโ€™re claiming the deductions youโ€™re entitled to, and lodge your return correctly.

Fuel Tax Credit rates changed from 3 August 2026.

If your business is eligible to claim Fuel Tax Credits, the new rates could affect how much you can claim on your next BAS.

๐Ÿ“Œ For eligible diesel and petrol acquired from 3 August, some of the new rates include:

๐Ÿšœ All other eligible business uses: 53.7ยข per litre

๐Ÿš› Heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes travelling on public roads: 21.3ยข per litre

โš ๏ธ Why does the date matter?

Because the rates changed on 3 August, your next BAS may include fuel purchased both before and after the rate change.

This means different Fuel Tax Credit rates may need to be applied depending on when the fuel was acquired. So, itโ€™s important to make sure the correct rate is used when calculating your claim.

Not sure what the new Fuel Tax Credit rates mean for your business?

Book your free consultation today! Cash flow problems rarely happen overnight.

More often, they start with small warning signs that are easy to overlookโ€”but when left unchecked, they can have a significant impact on your business.

Here are some of the most common cash flow red flags we see:

๐Ÿšฉ Customers taking longer to pay their invoices
๐Ÿšฉ Old unpaid invoices continuing to pile up
๐Ÿšฉ BAS bills that come as a surprise every quarter
๐Ÿšฉ Paying suppliers later than usual
๐Ÿšฉ Being profitable on paper, but wondering where the money went
๐Ÿšฉ Financial reports that don't match your bank balance

These aren't necessarily signs that your business is failing, they're early warning signs that your cash flow may need attention.

The sooner you identify these issues, the easier they are to fixโ€”helping you avoid unnecessary stress and make more informed business decisions.

As Registered BAS Agents, we don't just record the numbersโ€”we help you make sense of them. By keeping your bookkeeping accurate and up to date, we can identify warning signs early, improve your cash flow visibility, and help you make confident business decisions.

Take the guesswork out of your business finances.
