June is packed with important compliance and tax deadlines.

As EOFY approaches, now is the time to make sure your tax planning, BAS obligations, super contributions, and compliance requirements are under control.

Key dates this month include:

✔️ 5 June – Individual & Trust Tax Returns (FTL concession)
✔️ 7 June – Payroll Tax
✔️ 8 June – King's Birthday Public Holiday
✔️ 21 June – Monthly BAS Lodgment
✔️ 25 June – FBT Return (Electronic Lodgment)
✔️ 30 June – Super Contributions Cut-Off for FY26 Deductions
✔️ 30 June – End of Financial Year

Leaving tax planning until July often means missed opportunities.

The weeks before 30 June are your chance to review deductions, assess business structures, manage cash flow, and implement legitimate tax strategies before the financial year closes.

Need help getting EOFY-ready?

Book a consultation with our team and let's make sure you're heading into the new financial year with confidence.

From 1 July 2026, super will need to be paid every payday instead of quarterly.
For many businesses, this is less about compliance and more about cash flow timing.

The businesses preparing early will avoid unnecessary payroll stress later.
The ones waiting until June 2026 will likely scramble.

Most EOFY advice focuses on checklists.

Buy assets.
Prepay expenses.
Top up super.

But by June, many major tax outcomes have already been decided.

That’s why panic spending rarely fixes the bigger issue.

The decisions that still matter now are:
• cash flow
• compliance
• super timing
• structure review

EOFY should confirm decisions — not create financial stress.

Most businesses don’t have a tax plan

And by the time they think about it
it’s already too late

EOFY isn’t where strategy happens
it’s where outcomes show up

If you're relying on a June checklist
you’re already behind

We explain why EOFY checklists don’t actually reduce your tax — and what does.

Two businesses can earn the exact same profit and still pay completely different amounts of tax.

Why?
Because structure affects:
• tax rates
• cash flow
• reinvestment
• long-term growth

A lot of businesses outgrow their original setup but never review it again.
That decision compounds quietly over time.

A lot of business owners still think the instant asset write-off means:
“I’ll get the money back at tax time.”

That’s not how it works.

A deduction reduces taxable income.
You still spend the money upfront.

Which is why panic-buying assets before EOFY often creates more financial pressure than actual benefit.

The smartest purchases are usually the ones your business already needed — not rushed June decisions.

15 May is approaching

If you lodge through a tax agent
this deadline matters

Miss it and you risk penalties and compliance issues

But the bigger risk?
Lodging with numbers that don’t line up

Here’s what the ATO is actually looking at in 2026 — and what gets flagged

EOFY isn’t a checklist
it’s a strategy checkpoint

The businesses that pay less tax
made decisions months ago

June just locks them in

If you’re only thinking about this now
you’re already limiting your outcome

Here’s what actually reduces your tax bill long term
