Jointly owned property, superannuation, and assets held through companies or trusts can be dealt with differently. Your powers of attorney and medical treatment arrangements may also need to be considered.

Our latest article looks at what should be reviewed when your family, assets, business interests or financial arrangements change.

If you’re lodging your 2025–26 individual tax return yourself and aren’t registered with a tax agent, your return is generally due by 31 October 2026.

With the deadline now just over a month away, it’s worth checking that you have all the information you need and understand your lodgement options.

If you need more time, registering with a tax agent before 31 October may allow you to access a later lodgement date, depending on your circumstances.

We’ve outlined what you need to know, including the information to prepare, potential extended deadlines and what to do if you haven’t arranged your tax return yet.

The $20,000 instant asset write off does not mean your business gets $20,000 back.

For eligible small businesses, it can allow the business portion of eligible assets costing less than $20,000 to be deducted immediately. The deduction reduces taxable income, and the actual tax benefit depends on the circumstances of the business.

Our latest article explains how the $20,000 threshold works, what happens to assets above the threshold and what to consider before making a purchase.

The RBA will announce its next cash rate decision next week.

Whether the cash rate moves or stays at 4.35 per cent, there is one number borrowers can check today: the interest rate on their own loan.

If you have had the same home loan for several years, it may be worth checking the rate, fees and features you are currently paying for and whether the loan still suits your circumstances.

Our latest article covers what to check before deciding whether to stay with your lender, negotiate your rate or consider refinancing.

At The Hopkins Group, we pride ourselves on staying up to date with all aspects of the property management industry, including the latest compliance and regulatory changes.
