Yes, at least! Sometimes even longer.

And depending on your circumstances, that could be 5 years from the date you:

💻 lodge your return
🔑 sell the property
👉 fully claim any carried forward losses.

Need a downloadable checklist of what those records are? Well, here you go 😉👇

Yes, you might!

If your business pays contractors for providing certain services on your behalf, you may need to lodge a Taxable payments annual report (TPAR).

It tells us who you paid and how much you paid them.

You may need to lodge if you paid contractors for:

🚧 building and construction
🧹 cleaning
🚚 courier and road freight
💻 IT
🛡️ surveillance, investigation or security.

Check to see if it applies to your business, and lodge online by 28 August.

If you sell shares and make a profit, you may need to pay tax.

So before you cash out, make sure you know your obligations 👇

Nice, but you need to tell us about it! It still counts as income & needs to be reported in your tax return.

🔓 When you declare your cash jobs, you can claim a deduction for any work-related expenses you incur while earning that income.

Cash earned = assessable income.

This includes:
👉 weekend cashies
👉 side hustles
👉 one-off gigs
👉 jobs with no payslip.

Cash income doesn’t pre-fill in your tax return. You’ll need to add it yourself.

✅Keep good records of what you earn, when, and who paid you throughout the year.

If you didn’t give the buyer a clearance certificate by settlement, you may have had 15% withheld from the sale price.

To get this credited or refunded, you’ll need to lodge a tax return.… even if your income was below the usual lodgment threshold.

Good boss move ✔️
