What is AML and CTF?

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing. These laws are changing with the goal of the reforms is to close the gaps in our financial system to close avenues to organised crimes.

From 1 July 2026, expanded Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing legislation will require many accounting practices to undertake additional client due diligence when providing certain services. This may include collecting and verifying client identification, understanding ownership and control, conducting risk assessments, keeping detailed records and undertaking ongoing monitoring.

Here is a video to learn more about how the reforms might affect you.

Should you have any questions, we're here to help!

Happy 1st birthday, Cruzy! Can't believe you're ONE already!

We are very grateful to all our clients, family and friends who have trusted and supported us over the last 12 months. Without you, we wouldn't have reached this very important milestone and for that, we would like to say a massive THANK YOU! 💙

🚨 Finished your last pay run? You're not quite done yet!

One of the biggest misconceptions at the end of the financial year is that processing your final payroll means everything is complete.

Not quite!

If you employ staff, you'll also need to finalise your Single Touch Payroll (STP) by 14 July. This lets the ATO know your payroll information for the 2025–26 financial year is complete, allowing your employees to access their finalised Income Statements through myGov.

Before you click Finalise, make sure you've checked:
✔️ Payroll has been reconciled
✔️ Wages, PAYG withholding and superannuation are correct
✔️ Any end-of-financial-year payroll adjustments have been processed

It's a quick but important step that helps keep your business compliant and ensures your employees' records are accurate.

If you're unsure whether your payroll is ready for STP finalisation, or you'd like someone to take care of it for you, I'd be happy to help.

🎉 Milestone Achieved! 🎉

In just under 12 months, I have had the privilege of lodging 100 tax returns for individuals and sole traders.

As a small business owner, reaching this milestone means so much more than just a number. Every tax return represents a client who has trusted me to help them navigate tax time and meet their obligations. For that, I am incredibly grateful.

Thank you to every client who has chosen to work with me, referred their friends and family, or supported my business in any way. Your trust and support have helped make this milestone possible.

Here's to the next 100! 🚀

Are you keen to finalise your 2025/26 tax returns as soon as possible in July?

During early July, information from employers, banks, health funds, government agencies and investment providers is often still being finalised and reported to the ATO. Lodging too early can increase the risk of missing income or deductions and may result in amendments being required later.

Waiting until mid to late July often means:
✅ More information is available in the ATO's systems
✅ Less chance of missing important tax documents
✅ A more accurate and complete tax return
✅ Fewer amendments and delays

As a result, Cruzy doesn’t take tax return appointments between 1st July 2026 and 16th July 2026. A little patience can save a lot of hassle!

We are still open for business, so ring to book your appointment or email through your queries. We will be assisting businesses complete their EOFY obligations, such as superannuation and STP finalisations.
