As of April 1 this year, small businesses that have a track record of failure to comply with tax regulations - including late or non payment, late or non lodgement, and incorrect reporting - may be moved to monthly rather than quarterly GST reporting by the Australian Taxation Office.
The ATO emphasises this change is intended to help small businesses with the establishment of "good business habits", for example by facilitating smaller, more manageable monthly payments rather than larger quarterly ones, for smoother cash flow. Businesses that disagree with their assessment may lodge an objection; businesses may also adopt monthly rather than quarterly payments voluntarily, if they so desire, which many have already done.
Do you struggle with the many compliance obligations faced by your small business? It may be a very good idea to engage a professional bookkeeping service, before you find yourself the recipient of an unexpected letter from the tax office. Infinity Business Solutions are small business bookkeeping specialists, and we are here to help.
