Wishing everyone a day filled with more treats than tricks!

Important reminder if you're lodging your own tax return. ⚠️

The deadline for the 2025-26 financial year is 31 October 2026. Because that falls on a Saturday, the ATO's next business day rule applies — meaning you have until Monday 2 November 2026 if you're lodging yourself.

Lodge late and you risk a Failure to Lodge penalty. The ATO doesn't waive these lightly.

If you're lodging through a registered tax agent, concessional due dates apply and you'll have more time — but make sure you're actually registered with your agent before the deadline.

If you're not sure where you stand — call your accountant this week, not next. 💜

Your wardrobe isn't the only thing that needs a spring clean. 🌿

If your books have been sitting untouched since EOFY — or your Xero is full of uncategorised transactions and things you've been meaning to sort — October is a great time to deal with it before Q2 gets away from you.

A clean set of books going into the holiday period means less stress, better cash flow visibility, and no nasty surprises in the new year.

If yours need some attention — DM me. 💜

Payday super has been running for a few months now — is your payroll actually working the way it should?

Now is a good time to do a proper check rather than assuming everything is fine:

→ Is super being processed correctly with every single pay cycle?
→ Have there been any rejected or returned contributions you haven't noticed?
→ What's the ongoing cash flow impact — is it manageable?
→ Are there opportunities to simplify or automate the process?

The ATO's compliance activity around payday super is increasing. Getting ahead of any issues now is significantly easier than dealing with them down the track.

If anything on that list made you uncertain — DM me. 💜

If your business is growing, this is something to keep an eye on.

GST registration becomes compulsory once your annual turnover hits $75,000 — or $150,000 for non-profit organisations. Once you cross that threshold you're required to register, charge GST, and lodge BAS.

Missing this has real consequences — the ATO can back-date your registration and you can find yourself owing GST on revenue you already received and spent.

Here's what to stay across:

→ Monitor your GST turnover regularly — not just at EOFY
→ Know where you are relative to the $75k threshold
→ Understand how registration will affect your pricing and invoicing before it happens
→ Don't wait until year end to check — if you're approaching the threshold, talk to your accountant now

Any questions about GST registration? Drop them below. 💜

It's Small Business Saturday! 📣

Drop your business below and tell me what you do — I'd love to see who's in the Cairns and FNQ community. 👇

And if you see a business you recognise or love — give them a shoutout in the comments. We're better when we support each other. 💜

Got a PAYG instalment notice that looks different to what you expected? Here's what might be going on.

The ATO adjusts PAYG instalments based on your most recently lodged tax return. If your income went up last year, your instalments go up. If it went down, they should go down too — but the ATO won't always automatically reduce them.

You have the option to vary your instalment amount if you believe your current year income will be significantly different from last year. But vary it incorrectly and there can be interest charges.

This is absolutely something to discuss with your accountant before you change anything — not something to DIY based on a hunch.

Has yours changed recently? 👇

21/10/2026

Are you paying more GST than you need to?

It happens more than people realise — and not through any wrongdoing, just through small errors that compound over time.

The most common GST mistakes I see:

→ Missing GST credits on legitimate business purchases — you're entitled to claim these
→ Incorrect GST coding in your accounting software — wrong code = wrong BAS
→ Not obtaining valid tax invoices where they're required — no invoice, no claim
→ Claiming GST on expenses where no GST was actually charged — some suppliers are not registered

If you haven't had your BAS reviewed by someone who actually knows what they're looking for, it might be worth it.

Questions? Drop them below. 💜

Revenue is just one number. Here are the five financial metrics every small business owner should actually be tracking. Swipe through for the breakdown. 👉

The businesses that track these regularly make better decisions — faster, with more confidence, and with fewer nasty surprises.

If your bookkeeping isn't up to date, these numbers won't be accurate. And inaccurate numbers are sometimes worse than no numbers at all.

Save this one and start tracking. 📌

20/10/2026

Do you actually know what you owe the ATO right now?

Not a rough guess. Not "I think I'm up to date." The actual figure — including any running balance, interest charges, or payment arrangements.

You can check your account balance through myGov or through your tax agent. It takes about two minutes and it's information you should have.

The businesses that get into ATO debt trouble are almost never the ones doing things intentionally wrong — they're the ones who lost track of what was accumulating.

Know before you spend. Know before you hire. Know before you invest.

Save this as your reminder to check this week. 📌
