🚨 **Payday Super Is Here – What Every Employer Needs to Know**

From **1 July 2026**, superannuation rules are changing.

Instead of paying your employees' super quarterly, employers will generally be required to pay **super at the same time as wages**.

**What does this mean for your business?**

✔️ Review your payroll software and processes
✔️ Ensure your cash flow can support more frequent super payments
✔️ Speak with your accountant before the new rules take effect

Businesses that prepare early will avoid unnecessary penalties and make the transition much smoother.

At **Expert Tax**, we can help you review your payroll systems, ensure you're compliant, and get your business ready for the new Payday Super requirements.

🚗 Buying a Car for Work? Read This Before You Claim!

Thinking of purchasing a vehicle for work or business use?

Make sure you understand ATO car limits and GST rules before claiming deductions.

🔹 ATO Car Limit for 2025-26 is $69,674.

Your tax deduction for depreciation is capped at the ATO car limit, even if the vehicle costs more.

👉 Paying extra doesn’t mean extra tax benefit.

🔹 GST on Car Purchases

✔️ GST credits can generally only be claimed up to the ATO car limit
✔️ Any amount above the limit usually cannot be claimed for GST
✔️ Different rules may apply for commercial vehicles, utes, or vehicles over certain load capacities

🔹 Work vs Private Use

Claims must be apportioned based on business use.
A logbook can make a big difference to what you can legally claim.

📌 Every situation is different — structure matters!
📞 Speak to us before you buy, not after. Call us on 1300 869 829 or 0449 952 855 to discuss.

Smart purchase = smart tax outcome.
