Super is changing on 1 July 2026 and if you employ anyone in Australia, this one is for you.

Payday Super is replacing the quarterly system entirely. That means super gets paid with every single pay run and needs to reach your employee’s fund within 7 business days. Not quarterly. Every time you pay your team.

It also means super is leaving your business more frequently. If you pay weekly, you’re making weekly super payments. Worth factoring that into your cash flow now before July sneaks up on you.

And if you miss it? The ATO is assessing penalties directly under the new rules. It’s no longer self-reported, 25% to 50% of unpaid super plus daily interest.

1 July is fast approaching. Now is the time to make sure your payroll is ready for the change.

Sound familiar?

Some accountants are great (hello 👋🏼) others are just... there.

Most people only think to call their accountant when it’s tax time and things have already piled up. But a good accountant isn’t just someone you see once a year. They’re someone you actually talk to. Someone who knows your situation, your goals, and what you’re working towards, not just what’s in your shoebox come July.

If any of these hit a little close to home, it might be time for a conversation.

We’re good. But we’re not magicians.

We can’t pull together a great tax return from a shoebox of receipts, a rough guess at your kms, and a side hustle you forgot to mention. And with the ATO paying closer attention than ever this year, work expenses, investments, undeclared income the stakes of showing up unprepared are higher than they used to be.

The good news is it doesn’t take much to get it right. Just knowing what to bring and what your accountant actually needs from you before you walk in the door.

So we made you a checklist. Income, deductions, super, investments, side hustles, it’s all in there.

Free, in our bio. Download it before your next appointment, you’re accountant will thank you for it.

Does this sound like you? It might be time to speak to an accountant.

And don’t worry, the first coffee is on us 😉

Some tax claims are getting a lot more attention from the ATO this year. And a lot of them are things that show up in everyday returns.

On the radar: lifestyle assets, Division 7A, rental property deductions, motor vehicle claims, working from home expenses, GST reporting and cryptocurrency transactions.

If you’re running a business, GST reporting and Division 7A are worth paying particular attention to. Small oversights in these areas can turn into big headaches quickly.

None of these are red flags on their own. It almost always comes back to records and whether the expense genuinely connects to earning income.

If something sits in a grey area, that’s the conversation to have with your accountant before you lodge. Not after.
