๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Great team, great cause, and a fantastic day!

Today, the Connect Business Solutions team joined in the Darrel Chapman Fun Run, helping raise funds for an incredible local cause.

This much-loved Lismore event has been bringing our community together for over 30 years, with all funds raised going to Our Kids, a local charity that helps purchase lifesaving equipment for our local hospitals, helping keep our kids local when they need urgent medical care.

We were proud to be part of such a fun day supporting an organisation that does so much for our community. Great team, great cause and plenty of fun along the way!

โค๏ธ If youโ€™d like to support this amazing cause and help us raise money for Our Kids, you can donate to the Connect Business Solutions team here:

ATO Scam Warning โ€“ Stay Alert ๐Ÿ””

The ATO is warning Australians about a new email scam impersonating the ATO.

The scam email claims you have a scheduled phone appointment with the ATO and asks you to open an attachment to access appointment details or reschedule. The attachment then directs you to a fake myGov sign-in page designed to steal your personal information.

The ATO has confirmed it will never:
โŒ Email an attachment containing a link to a myGov sign-in page.
โŒ Ask you to access ATO services through links in unsolicited emails.
โŒ Direct you to a login page that isnโ€™t hosted on an official myGov or ATO website.
โŒ Request your myGov username, password or security code via email.

If you receive an email like this, donโ€™t click any links, open the attachment or respond. Delete the email immediately.

If youโ€™re ever unsure whether a message claiming to be from the ATO is genuine, contact our team before taking any action.

ATO Warning for Rental Property Owners ๐Ÿก

The ATO is reminding rental property owners that property manager reports may not always classify expenses correctly for income tax purposes.

Some of the common issues identified include:
โœ”๏ธ Claiming capital expenses as an immediate tax deduction.
โœ”๏ธ Expenses being grouped together without enough detail to determine the correct tax treatment.
โœ”๏ธ Differences between when expenses are incurred versus when they are paid.
โœ”๏ธ Private expenses being incorrectly included, such as costs relating to the ownerโ€™s personal use of the property.

Donโ€™t assume your property managerโ€™s end-of-year report is tax-ready. Taking the time to review your expenses can help ensure your rental property claims are accurate and compliant.

If youโ€™re unsure how your rental property expenses should be treated, our team is here to help.

๐Ÿข New Restrictions on SMSF Property Borrowing

From 10 August 2026, new rules will change how Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) can use Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs) to purchase property.

Under the new legislation, LRBAs entered into on or after 10 August 2026 can only be used to acquire business real property.

The good news? These changes do not affect:
โœ”๏ธ LRBAs entered into before 10 August 2026 to purchase real property.
โœ”๏ธ Existing LRBAs that are maintained or refinanced after this date.

Business real property generally refers to land and buildings used wholly and exclusively in one or more businesses.

If youโ€™re considering purchasing property through your SMSF, itโ€™s important to understand how these changes may impact your plans.

๐Ÿก Working from home? Make sure youโ€™re claiming the right expenses at tax time.

The ATO is reminding taxpayers that home occupancy expenses (such as rent, mortgage interest, council rates and home insurance) canโ€™t be claimed by most people who work from home.

These expenses are generally only available where part of your home genuinely qualifies as a place of business. This is a much stricter test than simply working from your dining table or spare room.

To be eligible, factors may include:
โœ”๏ธ The area is clearly set up as a place of business.
โœ”๏ธ It isnโ€™t used for private or domestic purposes.
โœ”๏ธ Itโ€™s used exclusively (or almost exclusively) for work.
โœ”๏ธ Clients or customers regularly visit the space.

If youโ€™re an employee, youโ€™ll also need to show that working from home was necessary because your employer didnโ€™t provide an alternative workplace.

Not sure what you can claim? Our team is here to help ensure your tax return is accurate and youโ€™re claiming everything youโ€™re entitled to - no more, no less.
