FOR BUSINESS OWNERS · THE 2026 CHANGES
Running the business is your job. What’s underneath it is ours.
Payday super, a permanent $20,000 instant asset write-off, new lodgement rules: 2026 rewrote the small business playbook. Most owners get accounting one lodgement at a time. Nobody steps back and asks whether the structure, the tax position and the cash flow still work together. That’s the work we do.

What changed on 1 July 2026, and what it means for your business
The 2026-27 year brought the biggest set of small business changes in a decade. Three of them matter to almost every owner:
Payday super is here.
Super is now paid with every pay run, not quarterly, and it must reach the employee's fund within seven business days. The ATO's clearing house has closed, penalties for late payment are real, and the cash flow rhythm of every employer has changed. Payroll setup and cash buffers need to be right.
The $20,000 instant asset write-off is permanent.
For businesses with turnover under $10 million, eligible assets under $20,000 are immediately deductible, permanently, so purchases can finally be planned with certainty instead of racing a June deadline.
ATO interest is no longer deductible.
Interest on late tax debts can't be claimed as a deduction, running a balance with the tax office just became genuinely expensive. Financing structures and payment timing deserve a rethink.
Add rising award wages and new AML obligations, and the ground has shifted. Whether it’s payroll, purchases or the structure itself, the settings that worked last year need checking against this year’s rules.

Book a consultationFrequently Asked Questions
01 Should my business be in a company or a trust?
It depends on profit levels, how many owners there are, asset protection needs and your exit plans. Companies offer a flat rate and clean separation; trusts offer distribution flexibility, and the 2028 trust changes shift the maths.
02 What is payday super and does it apply to me?
From 1 July 2026, every employer pays super at the same time as wages, with payment reaching the employee's fund within seven business days. It applies to all employers, and late payments attract the super guarantee charge, which isn't deductible.
03 Can I still claim the $20,000 instant asset write-off?
Yes, it's now permanent for businesses with turnover under $10 million. Each eligible asset under $20,000 is immediately deductible, and multiple assets can qualify in the same year.
04 What does a business accountant cost?
Cost depends on your entities, your setup and what you actually need. We scope it with you and agree it upfront before any work begins.
05 Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes, businesses move to us regularly. We handle the handover, bring the records across and pick up your compliance calendar without a gap.
06 Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?
Yes. We're based in Bella Vista and Sydney CBD and act for business owners across Australia, systems and meetings run just as well remotely.
