Your tax changed on 1 July.
Do you know what shifted? 👇

Two changes worth knowing for 2026-27:
The rate on income from $18,201 to $45,000 dropped from 16% to 15%.

A new standard deduction of up to $1,000 for eligible work-related expenses, applying from your 2026-27 return.
One catch: a new rule doesn’t mean everyone gets $1,000. Whether it suits you depends on your circumstances.

Planning ahead? Let’s get the numbers right.

This is general information only.

⏰ Three Days Left!

If you paid contractors this year for construction, cleaning, courier or road freight, IT, or security work, the ATO wants a list of who you paid and how much.

Remember, it’s based on cash payments. What matters is what actually left your account before 30 June, not simply what you were invoiced.

Not sure if this applies to your business?
Send us your contractor list and let our team help you work it out.

📢 Queensland GP Practices: Payroll Tax Update

The payroll tax uncertainty around GPs in Queensland is now settled.

Since December 2024, wages paid to GPs, whether employed or contracted, are permanently exempt from payroll tax.
But the exemption does not cover everyone in your practice. Specialists and allied health practitioners may still fall within the payroll tax net under ordinary contractor rules.
If your practice has a mix of practitioners, it is worth reviewing how each arrangement is treated.

Your accountant knows your tax position. Your broker knows your borrowing capacity. Neither one is looking at both, and the gap between them is where good money decisions quietly fall through 🧐

FinTax Partners brings accounting, taxation and business advisory together in one Greenslopes office, with home and investment lending arranged through our affiliated finance company so your loan is structured around your tax position, not in isolation from it✅

SMSF property lending rules have changed, but not everything has!

From 10 August, new borrowing arrangements through an SMSF can no longer be used to purchase residential property. Existing SMSF property loans and commercial property borrowing remain unaffected.

Wondering what this means for your SMSF strategy or fund position? 🧐
Our team can help you understand the tax and financial implications.

If you are buying your first home in Queensland this year, two things have shifted over winter, and one of them is easy to get wrong.

The good news held: the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant was extended, not cut. But from 1 August 2026, transfer duty concessions come with a new eligibility test on residency status, and it applies from the day you enter the contract.
A few schemes still stack in your favour if you know how they interact 😌

⏰ SMSF property investors, mark your calendar: 10 August 2026.

From that date, SMSFs can no longer enter new borrowing arrangements to buy residential property. This isn’t a gradual phase-out, it’s a hard cutoff.

The detail most people miss? The key date is when you exchange contracts, not when settlement happens. If you’re mid-purchase and haven’t exchanged yet, the clock is already running.

What’s unaffected: existing loans continue as normal, and commercial property borrowing inside an SMSF isn’t touched by this change.

If your fund has a residential purchase in progress, now’s the time to check exactly where things stand. We’re here to help you work through it before the window closes.

The cash rate is holding at 4.35%, but the next three weeks could still change your mortgage. 🏡

The RBA left rates on hold this month, and hasn’t ruled out another rise. The date that matters?

29 July, when the next inflation figures land and largely shape the RBA’s 11 August decision.

For borrowers, that means no confirmed relief yet. Three rate rises this year have already trimmed typical borrowing power,

and if you’re buying soon, today’s capacity may look different by spring.

In the meantime: review your rate, check your borrowing capacity, and know your number before you’re competing for a property.

Want to know where you stand before the next decision? Let’s talk.
