RTB Accounting Group

Our May 2026 Budget Edition of The Next Move is now available.

This edition explores the major announcements from the 2026–27 Federal Budget, including proposed changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing, discretionary trusts, superannuation, electric vehicle FBT concessions and more.

With many of these measures still subject to legislation, there is understandably a lot of uncertainty around what the changes may ultimately mean in practice. As further detail becomes available, we will continue reviewing the developments closely and providing updates to help our clients navigate the changes ahead.

If you have any questions about how these proposed changes may affect you, please contact our office

Ok, I admit, I scheduled this one to go at 10pm instead of 10am and I've only just realised....but better to be late than never! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums, Step Mums, Grandmothers, Great Grandmothers and all the special women in your life. We hope you had an amazing day and thank you for everything that you do for us and for those who are no longer with us, you are always in ours hearts, especially today

⏰ Reminder: Pay Day Super is coming - less than 2 months to go.

From 1 July 2026, super must be paid at the same time as wages — not quarterly.

For employers, that means:

Super paid every pay run
Payments made within 7 days of payday
No more quarterly deadlines

Now’s the time to get ready

✔ Check your payroll system
✔ Talk to your accountant or provider
✔ Plan for the cash flow shift

Getting organised early will make this a much smoother change for your business.
