If you have a business, it’s that time of year where you’re starting to think about Christmas parties and office celebrations. It’s also time as a business owner to say thank you to your employees for another year of hard work. But it’s also worth knowing what you can claim and what you can’t. The rules can be confusing, so we are providing some suggestions on how to make the most of your corporate budgets this year. Learn whether a Christmas Party and Christmas gifts are subject to FBT.
Learn everything you need to know about the new budget tax cuts: when you need to lodge, how much they can save you, why the tax cuts are coming forward, if you should invest your tax cuts, what the extra tax deductions are and if you have to pay tax on JobSeeker, JobKeeper and redundancy payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Faq1
Who can complete my tax return?
A relative or friend may complete your tax return on your behalf, but they cannot charge you a fee. Only registered tax agents may charge a fee for completing your return. Alternatively, you may sign up for Tax Help for free. This service is provided by community volunteers trained to assist low-income individuals in preparing their tax returns. Remember that only you can sign your tax return and you are fully responsible for the accuracy of the information.
Faq2
What happens if I fail to lodge my returns on time?
The ATO may apply a penalty for failure to lodge by the due date. The policy is to not apply a penalty when there is no tax payable and when an individual lodges their tax return voluntarily. The ATO website has published a guide to payment, interests and penalties that you may consult when in need of more information.
Faq3
Who must pay income tax in Australia?
In general, individuals who earn an income from salaries, commissions and other sources pay income tax. On the other hand, companies and trusts pay corporate tax on their annual income.
Company tax is calculated at a flat rate of 30% and slightly less for small businesses.
Faq4
Question: How long does it take to get a tax refund?
Faq5
Can I withdraw money from my superannuation before the attaining age?
Certain situations may warrant you permission to withdraw funds from your superannuation before you reach the attaining age. If, for example, your account contains unrestricted non-preserved money, you may withdraw it when you resign from your employer. The ATO also says that you may withdraw between $1000 to $10,000 on the grounds of severe financial hardship. You can only make one early withdrawal within any 12-month period.
