MARCH 2017

Seems like not long ago we were wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, but here we are getting ready for Easter.

We have had a busy start to 2017 and the next few months are only going to get busier with the final due date for the 2016 returns only just around the corner. So we can prepare your returns on time, drop off your information today!



In other news, Aliesha will be going on maternity leave in just a few short weeks to have her second child, while Angela Ross will also be going on maternity leave in June, also for her second child. Congratulations to both families!

MY DEDUCTIONS APP

Sole traders with simple tax affairs are now able to use the MyDeductions tool on the ATO App.

This tool allows you to record income, expenses and vehicle trips as soon as they occur so you don't miss a claim due to faded or lost receipts. 

It also makes it easier at tax time as you can email the file to your accountant rather then giving them all of your separate receipts.

If you do use this tool you need to remember to back up your device regularly as you don't want to lose any data if your device is broken, lost or stolen.
