JOBKEEPER
For those businesses with staff and a proprietor eligible for JobKeeper the May turnover figures need to be reported to the ATO by the close of business 14/06/2020 to receive payments for JobKeeper fortnights 3 & 4. If we have undertaken the claims for you please ensure that you get this information to us ASAP. For June JobKeeper fortnights 5 & 6 the turnover declaration will be due by the 14/07/2020.
For those that are yet to be eligible for JobKeeper there is still a chance to join the system utilising your June turnover figures, so please keep your information up to date to assess this.
EXTENSION TO $150,000 PLANT WRITE OFF PERIOD
The government has extended the $150,000 end date from the 30/06/2020 date to the 31/12/2020. This means that if you purchase any item of plant under $150,000 plus GST you are entitled to an instant tax write off for the whole amount for new and second hand items.
SMSF PENSION WITHDRAWALS
Please check to ensure you have drawn down your minimum pension amounts and this has cleared by the 30/06/2020 to ensure your balance remains in pension mode.
