𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 — 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟎% 𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 🚗💰
Announced in the recent Victorian Budget, the rebate puts about $186 back in the pocket of the average driver.

How to claim 👇
✅ Go to the Service Victoria website (link below)
✅ Have your vehicle registration details ready
✅ Confirm your bank details for the refund
✅ Takes about 5 minutes
🔗 https://www.service.vic.gov.au/.../registrati.../transaction

𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠:
🔹 You need to apply — it's not automatic
🔹 Eligible for cars personally registered in Victoria
🔹 ⚠️ Vehicles registered to ORGANISATIONS (companies, trusts, businesses) are NOT eligible
🔹 The refund goes straight to your nominated bank account
🔹 If you have more than one personal vehicle, you can claim for each eligible one

So if your car is in your personal name — you're in. If it's in a company or business name — unfortunately not.

It's not a huge amount, but $186 is $186 you didn't have yesterday. Worth 5 minutes of your time.

From 1 June 2026, important changes are coming to Victoria’s labour hire licensing laws. These changes will affect both existing labour hire licence holders and new applicants.

The Labour Hire Authority will have stronger powers and will apply stricter checks before granting or renewing a labour hire licence.

Key changes include:

✅ Stronger fit and proper person test
Directors, nominated officers and other relevant persons will be assessed more closely, including their honesty, integrity, professionalism and whether they are influenced by someone who may not be fit and proper.

✅ Compliance history will matter more
LHA can consider a wider compliance history, including workplace laws, labour hire laws, bankruptcy, consumer protection, fair trading and corporate regulation matters.

✅ Financial viability requirement
Businesses applying for or renewing a labour hire licence will need to declare that they are financially viable, and LHA must be satisfied with this.

✅ 30-day notification obligation
Licence holders must notify LHA within 30 days if any relevant person is no longer fit and proper.

This means labour hire businesses should review their compliance now, including:

• BAS and tax lodgements
• Superannuation payments
• WorkCover registration
• Payroll and employee records
• Financial position and business viability
• Director and nominated officer details
• Any past or current compliance issues

These changes may also affect businesses in industries such as cleaning, security, construction, transport, logistics, NDIS staffing, hospitality labour supply and other workforce supply arrangements.

Business owners should not wait until renewal time. It is better to review your position early and make sure your records and compliance are up to date.

🚨 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 — 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞?

From 1 July 2027, the Government is scrapping the 50% CGT discount on investment properties held personally or in family trusts.

That means a property with a $500,000 gain could cost you $150,000+ in tax. 😬

But here's what most people don't know — SMSFs are completely untouched.

✅ Rental income taxed at just 15%
✅ Capital gain on sale taxed at only 10%
✅ In pension phase — ZERO tax on income AND capital gains

Your super fund can buy:
📦 Commercial property (including your own business premises)
🏘️ Residential investment property
🏗️ Industrial & retail premises

And yes — your SMSF can borrow to buy through an LRBA.

The window to plan ahead is NOW — before 1 July 2027 locks in the new rules.

📞 Book a no-obligation chat with our team to find out if an SMSF property strategy is right for you.

👇 Drop a comment, send us a DM, or call us directly.

⚠️ General information only. SMSF strategies involve compliance requirements and individual circumstances vary. Please seek tailored advice before acting.

🚨 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 – 𝐀𝐓𝐎 & 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 🚨

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and Fair Work Ombudsman are actively targeting sham contracting, especially in the Road Freight Transport and Building & Construction industries.

👉 What is Sham Contracting?
It happens when a business labels a worker as an “independent contractor” when they are actually an employee – often to avoid paying:
• Superannuation
• Leave entitlements
• PAYG withholding
• Workers compensation

This is illegal and under heavy scrutiny.

⚠️ Industries Under the Microscope
• Road Freight & Transport 🚛
• Building & Construction 🏗️
• Labour Hire & Courier Services

Regulators are using data matching, tip-offs, and reporting systems to identify non-compliance.

💰 Serious Consequences
Businesses caught doing the wrong thing may face:
• Penalties up to $495,000+
• Back payment of super & wages
• PAYG withholding liabilities
• Court action and reputational damage

📌 Key Warning Signs
If your “contractor”:
✔ Works mainly for you
✔ Has little control over their work
✔ Is paid hourly (not per result)
✔ Cannot subcontract the work

👉 They may actually be an employee in disguise

✅ What You Should Do
• Review all contractor arrangements
• Ensure contracts reflect actual working conditions
• Stay compliant with ATO & Fair Work obligations
• Seek professional advice before it becomes costly

🤝 At Integrated Accountants, we help businesses:
✔ Structure workforce correctly
✔ Review contractor vs employee risks
✔ Avoid ATO & Fair Work penalties

📞 Reach out for expert advice – better to fix it now than pay for it later!
