No excuses …

The Administrative Review Tribunal has refused to stay all 9 TPB termination decisions involving Parampreet Singh Rajput and his associated companies. Our Chair Peter de Cure AM said ‘Practising in the tax agent profession is a privilege… It’s the conduct of a few such as this that undermines community confidence in our tax profession and ultimately the tax system.’ All affected entities are now prohibited from offering tax agent services.

I have snapped this from another post - it does happen!! Please be grateful when your bookkeeper nags you for documents or raises potential issues that he/she/they have noticed. Your best interests are never far from their thoughts.

We’ve released our compliance priorities for 2026 to provide greater transparency and clarity to the tax profession. Our priorities target both emerging and ongoing risks, with a focus on tax practitioner misconduct or unethical behaviour, including tax practitioners who:
🚨help clients avoid paying tax debts or engage in illegal phoenix activities, undermining employee entitlements and creditors' rights
🚨put clients into schemes designed to avoid tax, such as artificially shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, hiding income or assets in secrecy havens illegally, and misusing research and development concessions
🚨facilitate shadow economy activities
🚨encourage clients to overclaim work-related expenses
🚨engage in activities that exploit vulnerable Australians
🚨fail to meet their personal tax obligations.

Yep .. this 👇🏼

That 10% tax you collect on your taxable sales? That’s for your BAS, not your biz. 👀

🔥 Our hot tip: Keep GST separate from your cash flow.

Why it helps:
✅ Makes your cash flow easier to track
✅ When your BAS is due, you’ll have the funds ready to pay.

👉 You could start by setting the money aside in a different bank account. You can also consider reporting and paying monthly with smaller, more manageable payments.
