Back to business after the holidays and suddenly remembering… oh right, the numbers 😅

February is the month where things get real again. Cash flow, BAS, payroll, and tax don’t take holidays.

If your finances feel a bit messy after the break, now’s the best time to reset and get back in control. Let us assist you.😎

Tax Tip Tuesday 💡

Just because you answer one work email on your phone doesn’t mean the ATO wants to pay for your entire Netflix habit 📱🍿

If an expense is partly personal and partly business (think phones, internet, cars, home office), you can only claim the business-use portion.

Not sure what’s reasonable or how to work it out? That’s where we can help!🥳

🚨 Payday Super is officially law! 🚨
From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay super at the same time as salary and wages. That’s right — super will now arrive so on time it might start judging the rest of your life admin. 😉

Heads-up if you’re using the now-retiring Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) — you’ll want to switch to another provider soon.

Make sure you set up your new provider before 1 July 2026, so you’re ready when the clock strikes “Payday Super” time.

💼✨ New Sole Trader? Here’s Your Quick Tax Cheat Sheet

Working for yourself in Australia? Being a sole trader has a little admin that comes with the title:

🔹 Get an ABN so you can officially operate
🔹 Report your income to the ATO
🔹 Pay tax on your total taxable income
🔹 Earning $75k+? You’ll need to register for GST and start adding it to your invoices

If the tax side starts to feel overwhelming, that’s exactly what we’re here for. Kennedys Accountants can take the stress off your plate and keep you safely on the ATO’s good side. 😅📚

🎄📄 Christmas Parties & FBT

Planning a staff Christmas party? Here’s your accountant-approved cheat sheet (tinsel optional):

On-premises, workday, employees only: Food and drinks are usually FBT-free — the ATO’s version of a Christmas miracle.

Offsite events or plus-ones invited: You may face FBT… unless the cost per person is under $300 and counts as a minor benefit.

Inviting clients? Their portion isn’t subject to FBT, but you also can’t claim a tax deduction for their costs.

FBT-exempt = not tax-deductible: If the ATO lets you off the FBT hook, you lose the deduction.

🎅📊 Unsure whether your 2025 party will trigger FBT or deliver tax deductions? I’m here to help keep things festive and compliant.

Merry Christmas and may your celebrations be merry, bright, and audit-proof!

💡 PAYG Instalments

Wondering why the ATO suddenly wants you to pay tax in instalments? You might’ve crossed the magic thresholds.

Individuals & Trusts get auto-added if:
• Instalment income is $4,000+
• Last tax bill was $1,000+
• Notional tax is $500+
(Yes, it’s a trio — all three must apply!)

Companies & Super Funds join if:
• Instalment income hits $2M+, or
• Notional tax is $500+, or
• You’re the head of a consolidated group
(Just one of these will do.)

How you’ll know:
The ATO will send a friendly “welcome to PAYG” message — via myGov, online services, or old-school paper mail (bonus SMS if they’re feeling chatty).

You can even volunteer to join! Perfect if you’d prefer smaller, regular payments over one big tax-time surprise.

Need help making sense of it? We’ve got you. 💼😄
