The ATO has a new data matching program running from the 2026-27 financial year through to 2028-29, and it’s worth knowing about if you or your contractors travel for work.

The program cross-references passenger movement data from Home Affairs, arrival and departure dates, visa and residency status, against your tax returns, business income and contractor arrangements.

It isn’t about targeting specific industries, but tourism and hospitality, construction and trades, and digital or professional services are more likely to be affected, since travel and contractor arrangements are common in all three.

The kind of mismatch that draws attention is travel activity that doesn’t line up with a residency claim, business income that looks continuous while travel data shows extended time overseas, or a contractor claiming to work locally while their travel record says otherwise.

Our full breakdown of the program and how to stay ahead of it 👉

If you or your contractors travel regularly for work, it’s worth a proper review. Call us at (07) 5593 6060.

28 October is one week away, the due date for Q1 BAS and July to September super guarantee.

If super hasn't been paid yet, remember it needs to be received by the fund, not just processed on your end, and clearing houses can take a few business days.

Paying it this week, rather than right on the deadline, is the difference between on time and technically late.

With Christmas trading eight weeks out, it's worth mapping your cash position for the next 90 days now, not just the next 30.

Stock orders, extra staff, and a quieter January after the rush all draw on cash at different points, and they don't always line up neatly with when the sales revenue actually lands.

A rough 90 day cash map, even a simple one, shows you where the tight points are while there's still time to plan around them.

Hospitality owners 🍽️, bringing on extra seasonal staff for the silly season does more than change your roster; it changes your wages bill.

Seasonal staffing spikes, plus any casual or contractor payments during busy periods, can push your total wages closer to the payroll tax threshold than your usual trading period suggests.

It's worth checking now, before the Christmas ramp-up, rather than discovering it in a review

Payroll tax is one of those obligations that quietly sneaks up on growing businesses.

The threshold isn't based on base wages alone; it includes superannuation, allowances, bonuses, commissions, fringe benefits, and contractor payments that are really for labour rather than a finished product.

Grouping rules add another layer: if you operate more than one entity under common ownership, their wages are combined for payroll tax purposes, which means you can cross the threshold even when each entity looks fine on its own.

Cross it without realising, and the Queensland Revenue Office can require retrospective returns, meaning payroll tax calculated for past periods, with interest and penalties on top.

Our full guide to spotting the threshold before it spots you 👉

Do you run your trading business and hold your valuable assets in the exact same entity?

It's an incredibly common setup, especially for businesses that started small and never revisited the structure as they grew. One company trades, owns the equipment, holds the cash reserves, and keeps everything else in one place.

The risk is that a single entity carries every kind of exposure at once. If a claim ever hits the trading side hard- a client dispute, an injury on site, a bad debt that snowballs- anything sitting in the same structure is exposed right along with it. Equipment, property, and cash reserves aren't protected just because they're useful to the business; they can also cause the problem.

Splitting trading activity from asset ownership addresses this directly. One entity carries the risk of day-to-day trading, while a separate entity holds the value, equipment, property, and accumulated profit. If something goes wrong on the trading side, the assets sitting in the other entity are generally out of reach.

This doesn't need to change how the business operates day to day. The trading entity can still lease or use the holding entity's assets under a normal commercial arrangement, since the separation exists on paper and in the structure, not in how the work gets done.

It's much easier to make this change while the business is stable than after something's already gone wrong.

Saturday check 💰

Add up your total wages bill for the last three months, but include superannuation, bonuses, commissions and any contractor payments for labour, not just base pay.

Most businesses are surprised by how much larger the real number is once you count everything.

Builders and tradies 🔨, deeds of covenant and assurance are among the most commonly miscounted items in QBCC reporting.

These deeds let a related party guarantee part of your net tangible asset position, but they come with strict limits that vary by licence category.

Counting one incorrectly, or relying on one that's since been revoked, is a common trap we see at annual reporting time, and it's usually only caught once the report is already being reviewed.

If your NTA relies on a deed of covenant, it's worth double-checking it's still correctly structured for your category.

05/10/2026

28 October is now just over three weeks away, and it's the due date for both your Q1 BAS and your July to September super guarantee payment.

If reconciliations are still outstanding for any of the three months, this is the week to close the gap, rather than trying to do three months at once in the final week.

A cleanly closed quarter makes lodgement a formality, not a scramble.
