It is a very common mistake when the January arrives that we get the date wrong. How often in the past two weeks have we stop ourselves as we write 2019 instead of 2020 in the date. When we are entering transactions into our accounting software it is very easy to get the date wrong […]
I don’t think a day would go by when we are not asked about PAYG Instalment. It causes a great deal of confusion and distress for tax payers. The tax office letters that are issued are written in ATO language which means no one can easily understand them. Perhaps this will in some way help […]

There is a great deal of confusion about how the rent […]
Nothing like a change in the eligibility for stimulus money being sent out on a Friday afternoon to ruin your weekend. We were notified of the need to retest JobSaver eligibility for the fortnight 30 August – 11 September on Friday the 10 September. The phone calls started, the details were sketchy, yet if you […]
