Did you know the ATO's General Interest Charge (GIC) is no longer tax-deductible?

If your business has an outstanding tax debt and you're accruing GIC, that interest charge cannot be claimed as a deduction on your tax return - meaning it costs you dollar for dollar, not at your marginal rate. This change makes it even more important to:

✔ Stay on top of your BAS and income tax lodgements
✔ Enter a payment arrangement early if cash flow is tight
✔ Avoid letting small debts compound into larger ones. GIC accrues daily and the rate is currently well above standard commercial lending rates.

Proactive management of your tax position is no longer just good housekeeping - it's a real cost-saving measure. Speak to your accountant if you have an outstanding ATO debt. Options exist, but acting early makes all the difference.

Your venue is full on weekends. Revenue is up. So why does it feel like there's never quite enough left at the end of the month?

This is the question we hear often from Gold Coast hospitality operators - and the answer is rarely about working harder.

In our latest article, we break down the silent margin killers most busy venues don't see until it's too late:

→ Labour-to-sales ratios that haven't kept pace with wage rounds
→ Menu pricing lagging behind supplier cost increases
→ Trading periods (public holidays, lunch service) that might be costing more than they earn
→ Cash flow gaps hiding behind strong revenue figures

Busy doesn't always mean profitable. And profitable on the surface doesn't always mean protected underneath.

If you're running a Gold Coast hospitality business and any of this sounds familiar, it's worth a read.

𝟑𝟎 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 is closer than you think - and once it passes, this year's tax saving opportunities are gone for good.

Before you close out FY26, have you considered:
✅ Maximising your superannuation contributions
✅ Prepaying deductible business expenses
✅ Purchasing equipment under the $20,000 instant write-off
✅ Reviewing your trust distributions

Our free 2026 Tax Minimisation Guide walks you through all of this in plain English - with real examples and actual dollar savings from clients we've worked with right here on the Gold Coast.

No jargon. No obligation. Just practical strategies you can act on before 30 June.

𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 - it's tax planning season, and one thing we're talking about with almost every client right now is this: do you actually trust the numbers in your accounts?

Because clean, accurate books aren't just a compliance thing. They allow you to make genuinely good decisions for your business - on hiring, on investment, on where to cut and where to grow.

The good news? Getting there isn't about a big overhaul. It's four habits:

✔ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆
✔ 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹
✔ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲)
✔ 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗦𝗧 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲

Small disciplines. Big difference.

If your Xero accounts could use a tidy-up before EOFY, let's chat. Drop a comment or send us a message - we'd love to help you get the numbers you can actually use.

From 𝟭 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, super must be paid alongside wages. That means payroll processes, timing, and cash flow all need to be ready before the deadline - because late payments come with penalties. The businesses that will feel this the least are the ones that start planning now. If you haven't looked at how payday super affects your operations, that conversation needs to happen today - not on 30 June.

Last week we shone a spotlight on Tara Wilson and her passion for the building and construction industry. This week, we're continuing that theme by introducing another specialist in our team - Eric New.

The building and construction industry is one of the most dynamic and complex sectors to work in as an accountant. QBCC licensing obligations, Net Tangible Asset requirements, project-based cash flow cycles, subbies, and seasonal fluctuations - it takes real expertise to truly understand what's at stake for business owners in this space.

That's exactly what Eric brings.

He works closely with construction and trade business owners - from sole traders through to commercial developers - providing specialist financial guidance that goes well beyond standard bookkeeping. Every client brings a different set of challenges, and helping them navigate those complexities is something Eric finds genuinely fulfilling.

If your construction business needs specialist support - or if QBCC requirements have you losing sleep - Eric would love to help.

The 2026–27 Federal Budget delivers some of the most significant tax changes we've seen in years - and the implications for business owners, investors and family trusts are substantial.

Key measures announced on 12 May:

→ Instant asset write-off permanently increased to $20,000 for small business (from 1 July 2026)
→ Negative gearing on established residential properties restricted for acquisitions after Budget night
→ CGT discount replaced by CPI indexation with a 30% minimum tax rate (from 1 July 2027)
→ Minimum 30% tax on discretionary trust distributions (from 1 July 2028)
→ EV FBT exemption progressively wound back from April 2027
→ Loss carry-back extended for companies with turnover under $1 billion

While these are announcements and not yet law, several measures take effect from Budget night itself - making early advice critical.

We've prepared a comprehensive summary for our clients and contacts. If you'd like to understand how these changes affect your business or investment structure, we'd welcome the conversation.

One of the most effective tax planning strategies available to individuals and business owners? Maximising your superannuation contributions.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 - including salary sacrifice and personal deductible contributions - are taxed at just 15% inside your super fund. For most people, that's significantly lower than their marginal tax rate.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: a reduced tax liability today, and a stronger retirement position tomorrow.

If you'd like to understand how this strategy could work for your specific situation, our team is here to help.
