⚠️ Pay Day Super is mandatory from today ⚠️

Payday Super is right around the corner!

From 1 July 2026, your employer needs to pay super contributions at the same time they pay your salary or wages, so the contributions reach your nominated account within 7 business days.

There are some exceptions. For example, the first super contribution for a new employee will need to be made within 20 business days of their salary or wages being paid.

The Australian Tax Office is responsible for implementing the new rules and is the best source of info about the changes. Keep up to date on their website: https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/payday-super

⚠️ ATO warns taxpayers to be cautious of Tax Time misinformation and focus areas⚠️

The ATO is urging Australians to be wary of online tax ‘tips’, refund hacks and unverified advice that could lead to incorrect tax returns. With tax-related content increasingly shared through social media, AI platforms, influencers, and well-meaning family and friends, taxpayers are reminded to verify information with trusted sources.

While AI can be a useful tool, the ATO warns that inaccurate advice can result in costly mistakes: “Your tax return isn’t the place for guesswork.”

This Tax Time, the ATO will be closely monitoring common error areas, including:
✔️ Work-related deductions and correctly apportioning expenses
✔️ Omitted income from side hustles, cash jobs and rental properties
✔️ Other claims that may not be adequately substantiated

Taking a little extra care now can help avoid delays, amendments and potential penalties later.
