Good record keeping can make tax time far less stressful and help ensure nothing is missed along the way.

Whether you’re an individual, investor or business owner, keeping organised records throughout the year can save time and make reporting more accurate.

Why good record keeping matters:
▪️ Makes tax time quicker and easier
▪️ Helps support deductions and claims
▪️ Reduces the risk of missed income or expenses
▪️ Gives you clearer visibility over your finances

Simple ways to stay organised:
▪️ Keep receipts and invoices in one place
▪️ Save digital copies as you go
▪️ Separate business and personal spending where possible
▪️ Reconcile accounts regularly
▪️ Use accounting software or apps to track expenses

Common misconceptions:
▪️ I only need records at tax time — staying organised year-round is best
▪️ Bank statements alone are always enough — supporting documents may still be needed
▪️ Small purchases don’t matter — they can add up over time

A few minutes of organisation now can save hours later.

Not sure what records you should be keeping? We’re happy to help.

With just 7 days until the upcoming due date, now is the perfect time to make sure everything is organised.

If your PAYGI, BAS or Super obligations are still outstanding, it’s best to act early and avoid last-minute pressure. Staying ahead of deadlines can save unnecessary stress and help keep everything running smoothly.

Need support or have a question? Sinna Accountants are here to help.

It’s often not the big expenses that get missed, it’s the smaller, everyday costs that add up over time.

Being aware of what you may be able to claim can make a difference, as long as the expenses are work-related and properly documented.

Commonly missed deductions can include:
▪️ Subscriptions and memberships (industry bodies, software, journals)
▪️ Home office expenses (internet, electricity, workspace use)
▪️ Work-related vehicle or travel expenses
▪️ Small purchases like stationery, tools or supplies
▪️ Professional fees and training related to your work

Key points to remember:
▪️ You must have a record to support your claim
▪️ Expenses need to be directly related to earning your income
▪️ If there’s a private portion, only the work-related part can be claimed

Common misconceptions:
▪️ Small expenses aren’t worth claiming — they can add up quickly
▪️ If you didn’t keep a receipt, you can still claim it — not always the case
▪️ Everything used “sometimes” for work is fully deductible

How to avoid missing deductions:
▪️ Keep records throughout the year, not just at tax time
▪️ Review your expenses regularly (monthly or quarterly)
▪️ Separate business and personal spending where possible

Not sure what you might be missing? It may be worth reviewing before tax time approaches.

⚠️ Scam awareness reminder

ATO impersonation scams continue to catch people off guard, especially through phone calls, text messages and emails.

The updated ATO app now allows you to verify whether a call is genuinely from the ATO before sharing any personal information.

If something doesn’t feel right, pause and check first.

Staying informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your business.

Ever received a call from someone claiming to be the ATO?

We’ve updated our app so you can now:
✔️ verify in seconds whether it’s us
✔️ check before sharing any personal details
✔️ shut down scammers before they get a chance.

Understanding what you can and can’t claim is key to getting your tax right. While deductions can reduce your taxable income, not every expense is claimable.

Why it matters:
▪️ Helps ensure you’re claiming correctly
▪️ Reduces the risk of errors or overclaiming
▪️ Keeps you compliant and confident at tax time

Key points to know:
▪️ Expenses must be directly related to earning your income
▪️ You must have a record to support your claim
▪️ If it’s partly personal, only the business portion can be claimed

Common misconceptions:
▪️ Not everything you buy for your business is automatically deductible
▪️ “If I have a receipt, I can claim it” — not always the case
▪️ Personal expenses generally can’t be claimed

The ATO’s Tax Time Toolkits are a helpful resource and include guidance on common deductions for individuals, occupation and industry-specific expenses, rental properties, shares and investments, as well as small business. https://www.ato.gov.au/tax-and-super-professionals/for-tax-professionals/prepare-and-lodge/tax-time/tax-time-toolkits

Not sure what you can claim or how it applies to your situation? It may be worth reviewing.
