Do you know what to do if you can’t make your Payday Super payments on time?

You should always aim to pay your Payday Super on the same day as you process your employees’ wages… but sometimes your cash flow might make this difficult.

Check in with your bookkeeper or accountant if this is becoming a problem, or read more about it in our latest blog

Stop guessing your cash flow.

Your bank balance doesn’t tell the whole story.

Before you make a big purchase, ask:

·What bills are due?

·What are my upcoming tax obligations?

·Do I need to chase outstanding customer invoices?

·Are there any unexpected expenses ahead?

Cash flow surprises are rarely ‘good’ surprises, so make sure you understand your numbers before making big decisions.

Are you paying superannuation to your contractors?

If you are, then you must also consider them in the new Payday Super obligations. From July 1st, 2026, super is now being paid every time you pay your employees - AND contractors - their wages. So don’t forget your contractors super when you pay their invoices.

DID YOU KNOW….?

No big surprise … but a Xero survey in 2024 found that 71% of Australian business owners find EOFY stressful. More than half admit to making mistakes.

Yes, there are many extra tasks at this time of year, but ‘panic’ doesn’t need to be your default setting. The good news is that with the right support and systems in place, June 2027 could feel like just another month on the calendar.

Our latest blog shows how you can set yourself up for less anxiety next year. https://www.westbas.com.au/news/How-to-Prepare-for-EOFY

What is a BAS Agent and do you need one?

Here’s a quick rundown:

·A BAS agent is a registered professional (always a qualified bookkeeper) who prepares and lodges your Business Activity Statements with the ATO on your behalf.

·They help you stay on top of GST, PAYG withholding and payroll obligations throughout the year – not just at EOFY

·Unlike an accountant, BAS agents focus specifically on the day-to-day financial compliance side of running your business.

For many small businesses, working with a BAS agent or professional bookkeeper can mean less time on admin and fewer nasty surprises from the ATO.

This is what Susan and the team at WestBAS can do for you. Reach out if you’d like to know more.
