EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH 💼✨
- Jessica Nguyen

This month on ADV Partners’ Employee Spotlight series, we’re featuring Jessica Nguyen

“Being the person who brings clarity and order to a client’s financial journey is what truly drives me every day.”

What keeps her going? A dynamic, collaborative team culture - and those well-earned reset moments with a Coffee or Matcha Coconut ☕🥥

Outside the office, she recharges in nature 🌿 and believes one key financial truth:
“It’s not just about how much you earn, but how you allocate it - discipline in cash flow is the foundation of long-term security.”

🚨 Sham contracting in the spotlight

The ATO and Fair Work Ombudsman are cracking down on businesses misclassifying employees as contractors 👇
- Calling a worker a “contractor” doesn’t make it legal
- If they act like an employee, they likely are one
- Avoiding super, leave & entitlements = serious breach
- Penalties can reach:
• $19,800 (individuals)
• Up to $495,000+ for larger businesses

Data-matching + tip-offs are exposing non-compliance across industries like construction and transport

Bottom line:
Misclassification isn’t a loophole — it’s illegal and costly.
Review your worker arrangements before regulators do.

ADV Partners can help ensure you stay compliant.

Non-commercial losses: can you offset or defer?

If you’re an individual or sole trader making a loss, here’s how it works 👇
✔️ In business? Your activity must be genuinely operating (not just prep stage)
✔️ Income under $250K? Needed to offset losses this year
✔️ Pass 1 of 4 tests? If yes → you can claim the loss

If not:
⏸️ Loss must be deferred to a future year
💡 Exceptions apply for primary production & arts (under $40K income)
⚖️ Or apply for the Commissioner’s discretion in limited cases

Bottom line:
Not all losses are immediately deductible - structure matters.

🚨 Division 293 tax: quick guide

If your income + concessional super contributions exceed $250,000, you may pay an extra 15% tax on part of your super.

Applies to the lower of:
- Amount over $250K
- Your concessional contributions

The ATO will notify you after your tax return + fund data are processed.
Even one-off spikes (bonuses, capital gains) can trigger it.
Smart contribution planning is key to staying tax-efficient.

🚨Super Guarantee update: what’s changing from 1 July 2026
The shift to Payday Super is here — and it changes how and when super gets paid.

Here’s what employers need to know 👇
💼 SG rate stays at 12%
⚡ Super paid every payday (not quarterly)
📊 Max contribution base: $270,830/year
⛔ No SG required on earnings above this cap

What’s different?
- Before: SG paid quarterly on ordinary time earnings
- Now: SG paid each payday based on qualifying earnings

Why it matters:
✔️ Faster super payments for employees
✔️ Tighter compliance timelines for employers
✔️ More accurate, real-time contributions
Payday Super = less delay, more responsibility.

Need help preparing your payroll for the shift?
ADV Partners can help you stay compliant and ready.

🚨 Super update: 2026–27 rates & thresholds are here
More room to grow your super — but also more rules to get right.

Here’s what’s changed 👇
- Concessional cap → $32,500
- SG rate → 12% (from 1 July 2026)
- Non-concessional cap → $130,000
- Transfer balance cap → $2.1M

Plus updates to bring-forward rules, Division 293 tax, and co-contribution thresholds.
What it means for you:
✔️ More opportunities to boost retirement savings
✔️ Smarter contribution strategies
✔️ But tighter compliance if you exceed caps
Super is getting more flexible — and more complex.

💼 Payday Super is moving closer to reality

New regulations have been released to support the rollout of Payday Super - a major shift in how super is paid in Australia.

Here’s what’s changing
- Super paid at the same time as wages
- Faster processing — funds must act within 3 days
- Clearer rules on eligible payments and missed contributions
- Transitional support from the ATO in 2026–27

💡 What this means:
Less delay. More accuracy.
Higher compliance expectations.

⛽ Fuel tax credit rates updated (2025–26)

If your business claims fuel tax credits, make sure you’re using the correct rate based on when the fuel was acquired.

Here’s what to know 👇
- Rates vary across the year — with updates from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026
- From 1 April – 30 June 2026, the road user charge is set to $0 (temporary change)
- This means higher credit rates apply for eligible fuels during this period

💡 Key takeaway:
Using the wrong rate could impact your BAS and cash flow.
- Check the correct period
- Use the ATO calculator
- Review your claims carefully
