One of the most common questions we hear from business owners is:

"Can I claim this as a tax deduction?"

The answer is often... it depends.
To claim a business expense, it generally needs to be connected to earning your business income, and you should have the appropriate records to support the claim.

Some commonly misunderstood expenses include:

📱 Mobile phones
🚗 Vehicle expenses
💻 Computers and equipment
☕ Meals and entertainment
🏠 Working from home costs

The rules can vary depending on how the expense is used and whether there is a private component involved.

That's why it's important to get advice before making assumptions at tax time.

📢 What Is STP Finalisation?

If you're an employer, STP Finalisation is one of the key payroll tasks to complete at the end of the financial year.

In simple terms, it tells the ATO that your payroll information for the year is complete and ready to be used by employees when preparing their tax returns.

Before finalising, it's important to review your pAayroll records, check employee details, and correct any reporting errors.

Getting it right helps avoid unnecessary headaches for both employers and employees.

Understanding how BAS works can help you:

✅ Avoid surprises at lodgement time
✅ Improve cash flow planning
✅ Stay compliant with the ATO
✅ Keep accurate business records

We've broken down the BAS process into a simple step-by-step guide so you can better understand where your BAS position comes from and what affects the amount you pay.

The new financial year is the perfect time to step back and make sure your business is set up for success.

Before you get caught up in the day-to-day, take some time to review:

✔️ Business goals and budgets
✔️ Payroll and super obligations
✔️ Pricing and profitability
✔️ Upcoming tax and BAS deadlines

Many small businesses spend time working hard in their business but not enough time working on it. A simple financial review now can help you identify opportunities, avoid surprises, and make better decisions throughout the year.

What is your biggest financial priority for the new financial year?

Quick Tax Tip for Property Investors

One of the easiest ways to maximise your tax deductions is also one of the most overlooked: keeping good records.

Property-related expenses such as repairs, property management fees, insurance, and loan interest may be deductible, but only if you have the supporting documentation.

A simple habit like photographing receipts and storing them digitally can save time and help ensure you don't miss legitimate deductions at tax time.

If you own an investment property and want to make sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to, our team can help.

📅 Reminder for Australian employers: STP Finalisation is generally due by 14 July.

If you've been reporting payroll through Single Touch Payroll (STP), you'll need to complete your end-of-year finalisation so your employees can access their finalised income statements and lodge their tax returns.

Before finalising, it's worth checking:

✔ Employee wages and salaries
✔ PAYG withholding amounts
✔ Superannuation reporting
✔ Employee details and records

Taking a few minutes to review your payroll data now can help avoid corrections and unnecessary stress later.

If you're unsure whether your STP reporting has been completed correctly, our team can help review your payroll records and ensure you're meeting your EOFY obligations.

📩 Send us a message or book a consultation if you'd like assistance with STP finalisation, payroll compliance, bookkeeping or EOFY reporting.

💬 Have you completed your STP finalisation yet? Let us know in the comments.

If your accountant recommends waiting until after 15 July to lodge, it’s not a delay — it’s good practice.

The ATO doesn’t finalise most pre‑fill data (bank interest, payroll, dividends, private health, investment info) until mid‑July.

Lodging too early often means missing details, extra follow‑ups, and amended returns later on.

Waiting a little longer means:
• More accurate information
• Less back‑and‑forth
• A cleaner, faster lodgement

If you want this year’s tax season to run smoothly, our team is here to help.

Send us a message or book a consultation and we’ll take care of the rest.
