LJR Accounting and Business Services - The Tax Shelter

🚨 Tax time is also scam season.

Every July, scammers increase their efforts by sending fake ATO texts and emails designed to steal your personal information or money.

Remember:
🔹 The ATO will never ask for your TFN, passwords or bank details via text or email.
🔹 Be cautious of urgent messages, unexpected refund offers, or links asking you to log in.

If something doesn't feel right:
✅ Don't click any links.
✅ Verify the message through the official ATO app or by calling the ATO directly.
✅ Or give us a call, we're happy to help you check whether it's genuine.

Taking a minute to verify could save you from becoming the next scam victim.

Lodging early ? - Are you prepared for an Audit

Employers have until today to finalise there STP, don't risk an audit by not having all your data accurate.

Ps the ATO has a lot of data already but many banks, dividends, ETF's etc are still to upload AVOID a definite Audit and don't lodge to early

I had a special guest in the office yesterday saying hi amidst the busyness of End of Financial year,

It turns out I also have a new business partner in my daughter so if you get a call from a 5 year old telling you to get your receipts collated, your log book updated and do final checks on your work from diary, you can bet your bottom dollar she’s only asking so I pay her in ice cream
