We have put together some reminders and highlights to help you in preparation for 30 June and also post 30 June here. Last month, the Federal Budget was announced.

In case you missed it, read our budget review here.
This month we outline tax strategies you should know for your business, don’t miss this article, it could make all the difference to your end of FY tax planning! We also discuss how accurate and efficient bookkeeping contributes to the understanding of how your business is performing and then assists with decision-making in order to grow your business. Small business grants have been a topical discussion point recently and we have provided insights into why grants can work and how to find and apply for the ones that suit you. Read it here.
Now is also a good time to review your current casual employment arrangements, especially as stricter provisions for Casual Employment became effective from 27th March 2021. To see if your business is required to comply with these provisions, read our article from Business 360 here. The Advivo team is here to provide suggestions on how to maintain a compliant casual workplace relationship.
