Footy season is over and we kick off the last quarter of the year!
In our latest newsletter, we have included some tips on how business owners could reduce costs. If you earn money through ride-share or rent or hire your car to others, then our article enclosed is a must-read.
We take a look at the importance of guarding your super and not accessing it until you retire.
If you have always dreamt of starting a business, then we hope our article provides some useful tips and inspiration.

Key Dates: 

21 November
  • Lodge and pay October 2018 monthly business activity statement.
25 November
  • Lodge and pay quarter 1, 2018–19 activity statement if you lodge electronically.
28 November
  • Lodge and pay quarter 1, 2018–19 Superannuation guarantee charge statement - quarterly if the employer did not pay enough contributions on time.

    Employers lodging a Superannuation guarantee charge statement - quarterly can choose to offset contributions they paid late to a fund against their super guarantee charge for the quarter. They still have to pay the remaining super guarantee charge.

RBA Interest Rate Announcement!



At its meeting today, the Reserve Bank Board announced it was leaving the cash rate unchanged at 1.50 per cent.

Please click here to view the Statement by Philip Lowe, Governor: Monetary Policy Decision.
Whilst the official rate is unchanged, we're watching closely what the banks do with their rates, as some of Australia's biggest lenders have decided to make changes to their rates regardless of official interest rate moves by the RBA.
You will be notified directly by your bank if and when they change their interest rate.
