Welcome to this month’s issue of our newsletter. Our aim is to keep you informed about current tax and superannuation related matters.
This month we look at:
- Director identification numbers…time is running out: Directors need to act quickly and apply for a director identification number (director ID). The deadline for most directors is 30 November 2022. You must apply personally via the Australian Business Registry Services website
- Bridging the super gender gap: Fresh statistics released by the ATO reveal that the superannuation gender cap is very real. There are however a number of strategies that can be employed to bridge this gap.
- Optus data breach: This recent breach potentially exposes Optus customers to identify theft. The government’s Scamwatch website provides a number of steps Optus customers (and indeed all people) should take to protect their personal information online.
- Claiming business losses: You may be able to offset your business loss against other income (such as salary and wages) if you’re a sole trader or in a partnership. However, there are a number of hurdles to clear.
- SMSF member obligations: A recent Administrative Appeals Tribunal decision reminds us all that SMSF trustees (members) can be disqualified where serious breaches, be they advertent or inadvertent, of the super rules are committed.
