Attention Employers
July 23, 2019
If you run a business that operates primarily in the building and construction industry, please be reminded that you are required to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report with the ATO where you have made payments to contractors for building and construction services.
Your TPAR should be lodged by 28 August for payments made in the 2019 financial year.

Tax free threshold rises
July 12, 2019
Every year the ATO sets a base limit for tax free payments from genuine redundancy accounts.
From 1 July this figure increased to:
$10,638 for the initial year, and
$5,320 for each full year of service with your employer.
This makes for significant savings for Protect members. Since, 2003, when we introduced our second severance account type - the GRA or Genuine Redundancy Account, we estimate to have provided our members with tax savings in excess of $75 million.
