A few key reminders for Tax 2026 -

1. The ATO's compliance approach for Payday Super
What you can expect for the first year of Payday Super.

Act now to be ready for 1 July, and keep in mind it may take a few pay cycles to settle into the new process.
Employers who genuinely try to do the right thing will not be the subject of The ATO's compliance action in the first year of Payday Super.
Super itself is not changing, just when it’s paid. Super is still going to all eligible employees, in the right amount, at the right time, and to the right fund.
Check out The ATO's link below for information which explain how employers can transition from paying super quarterly to paying super each payday.

2. End-of-year finalisation through STP
Making a finalisation declaration
You need to make a finalisation declaration by 14 July each year to ensure your employees can access their finalised information to complete their tax return.

3.Standard deduction for work-related expenses
The Government announced a standard deduction up to $1,000 for work-related expenses for eligible taxpayers.
The measure will commence on 1 July 2026 and apply to the 2026–27 individual tax return. The standard deduction does NOT apply to the 2025–26 individual tax return.

Who are you cheering for tonight?

We might be a little biased at Liddy Kennelly but I promise we are not all Maroon lovers! 🏈🎉

May the best Mar..... team win!
