Have you Future Proofed your Business?

And just like that, we are already in Autumn! During February, we saw some changes announced from the ATO to fixed rates for work from home expenses. The biggest change is that you will now need to record the total number of hours you work from home. If you’d like to read more about these changes and how they’ll affect your tax return, please do so here.We have several blogs this month around the topic of mergers and acquisitions and transition planning. I penned an article about ensuring you have an exit strategy for your business and another about what you need to do to prepare your business for sale. We also have a guest blog from Jane Toohey, at Outsource2Us who has written an informative article about how to market your business so as to make it more attractive for sale or acquisition. I also just want to remind everyone that STP Phase 2 comes into effect on the 31st of March, so make sure you transition before this date to avoid any complications.Also, don’t forget to take odometer readings for all work vehicles for FBT reporting on this date.Remember, if you are looking to maximise the performance of your business, the Advivo team is always available. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about managing your finances as we move further into 2023.

[ultimate_heading main_heading=”Advivo’s Charity of the Month” alignment=”left”]Advivo’s commitment to the community includes our monthly​ charitable donation. This month we donated to Bravery Box! Bravery Box creates moments of joy, happiness, and distraction for kids with cancer. A childhood with cancer is a childhood that should be filled with fun and laughter. They run fun programs for kids and teens with cancer to give them a non medical focus on their visits to hospital. They create connection between kids’ oncology and the community. And they raise funds for kids’ cancer research – because no child should ever have to be cancer brave.

Don’t forget if you would like us to include a charity of your choice, just drop us a line at info@advivo.com.au[/ultimate_heading]
