LJR Accounting and Business Services - The Tax Shelter

We hope you all had a great fathers day

If you have an appointment or are needing to drop into the office for drop off, signing or picking up documents this morning we have just found out the David Low Way/Kumbar Street entrance is being closed due to Shadforths crew doing work for the new development

Please see my creative map showing you how to access our office today and potentially tomorrow.

It was never going to be forever, Maddi stepped in to help us over the busy part of tax season on the phones and reception, and today she steps into her calling serving one of our local churches in there kids ministries.

We've been blessed to have you as our director of first impressions and wish you all the best into the future.

Whilst it's a loss for us there's a greater cause being served

Did you know,

1. The Governments $1,000 minimum tax deduction isn't in place for the 2026 financial year, so don't get caught out over claiming

2. The ATO's data matching system and Austrac, monitor money moving around bank accounts, Crypto wallets, online transactions, when they say big brother is watching he is with improved technology

3. You can't just claim 5,000 km's no matter what your mate at the pub says, you still need to be able to justify what the claim is for, how you worked this out, and it isn't travelling from home to work.

4. You should start to notice your superannuation coming in more frequently with Pay day super, if you're not please ask your employer what they are doing with your retirement money

🚨 Tax time is also scam season.

Every July, scammers increase their efforts by sending fake ATO texts and emails designed to steal your personal information or money.

Remember:
🔹 The ATO will never ask for your TFN, passwords or bank details via text or email.
🔹 Be cautious of urgent messages, unexpected refund offers, or links asking you to log in.

If something doesn't feel right:
✅ Don't click any links.
✅ Verify the message through the official ATO app or by calling the ATO directly.
✅ Or give us a call, we're happy to help you check whether it's genuine.

Taking a minute to verify could save you from becoming the next scam victim.

Lodging early ? - Are you prepared for an Audit

Employers have until today to finalise there STP, don't risk an audit by not having all your data accurate.

Ps the ATO has a lot of data already but many banks, dividends, ETF's etc are still to upload AVOID a definite Audit and don't lodge to early

A big Happy Birthday to Luke and James!

Luke has officially entered the final countdown to 40. 😏🎈

And James has reached the impressive milestone of being halfway to 70... we'll let you do the maths! 😂🎉

We hope you both had a fantastic birthday filled with plenty of cake, laughs, and maybe even a break from answering tax questions (although we doubt it!) 🎁🎊
