The Government is releasing the outcome of the review into JobKeeper and JobSeeker, and its economic update (along with any further
initiatives).
During this webinar we'll cover:
| Trading at a loss / not sustainable. |
If you are in the position where even the economic stimulus measures such as JobKeeper and Cash Boost are not assisting you to break even,
you may need to make the tough decision to place your business into administration or liquidation before the temporary relief from personal
liability from insolvent trading expires on 24th September 2020. This is big decision to make and for many will carry significant impact on several levels. If you are unsure of where you stand, please call us to chat about your position. |

Trading at break-even. Business has been difficult. |
You have made the decision early on to pivot your business and take advantage of changed business opportunities and conditions. You are preserving cash, but JobKeeper and Cash Boost payments are keeping you afloat. Cash Flow planning is essential right now to ensure your business remains viable after government income is reduced or removed completely. In essence, plan your cash flow without any income assistance. Be honest about your ability to trade and where you can adapt. We can assist you to create a 12 month cash flow plan. You may also want to consider asset protection and/or estate planning. |
| Trading well. Business is booming. |
Covid-19 hasn't been all bad for some businesses. In fact, financially things have got better for some. Cashflow is good. You are up to
date with your taxes. You business is enhanced by taking advantage of new opportunities. You're making good profits and expect to
continue to make good profit over the next 12 months. We love a feel good scenario like this and we'd love to help you maintain the momentum. Consider your strategic plan and ensure you're able to continue to respond quickly to market and economic changes. |
On 31 March 2020, the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) year ends. With the ever increasing budget deficits, the ATO will be reviewing whether all employers who should be paying FBT are, and that they are paying the right amount. Who needs to lodge a FBT return? Find out here.
With the borders between the State and Territories all but open and 2021 in sight, there is a hunger for a return to normal. With Australia's desire to ‘get on with things,' sentiment reached its highest level since November 2013 and Christmas spending is expected to be consistent with previous years.
Stimulating investment is high on the Government’s agenda. To encourage spending, the 2020-21 Budget introduced a measure that allows businesses to immediately deduct the cost of new depreciable assets and the cost of improvements to existing assets in the first year of use.
