Budget 2026–27 brought proposed changes that could affect many Australian investors and business owners.

Negative gearing. Capital gains tax. Discretionary trusts.

None of it is law yet but it's already worth reviewing your position.

From 1 July 2026, quarterly super payments are out. Every pay run will need a super payment, and contributions must reach the employee’s fund within 7 business days of payday.

One missed deadline can mean the Superannuation Guarantee Charge, plus interest and penalties. If your current payroll process still runs on quarterly timing, now is the time to get ahead of this change.

Be honest: when did you last review your business structure? 🤔

Most people set up their structure early on and never look at it again. But as your business grows, what worked at the start might not be protecting you or saving you tax as effectively as it should.

We regularly help clients review whether a sole trader, company, or trust structure still makes sense for their situation.

It's worth a conversation. Drop us a message or book a consultation.

No more card surcharges from 1 October 2026.

Eftpos, Mastercard, and Visa: all covered. One final price at checkout, whether in-store, online or via mobile.

For SG deductions, the money must physically clear into the employee’s super fund by June 30. If it doesn’t, the deduction shifts into next year, even if you lodged it on time.

The usual 28-day quarterly deadline helps with compliance, but it won’t save the current-year tax deduction. If you’re planning super payments now, don’t leave them until the final day.

We see this every year: company cars, entertainment, expense payments, and suddenly the file that was meant to be “easy” turns into a rushed scramble.

If any fringe benefits were provided to employees in 2026, now is the time to get it sorted properly. No last-minute panic. No avoidable errors.

Fuel bills biting harder than cash flow?

For some businesses, the ATO already has a pathway to help when high fuel costs are the reason a tax debt can’t be paid right now.

Eligible businesses may be able to apply for a payment plan with no upfront payment, up to 36 monthly instalments, and potential GIC remission, but only if lodgments are brought up to date within three months of the plan starting.

And if Payday Super is on your radar, the clock starts from 1 July 2026: super must reach funds within 7 business days of payday, with stapled super and qualifying earnings rules also coming into play.

If fuel costs are squeezing your business, let’s check what applies before the 30 June 2026 deadline. Contact us today!
