The Government introduced and passed the necessary legislation through Parliament on Monday 23 March.

Some of the new measures extend and enhance the previously announced stimulus measures, and so for clarity and ease of understanding we will be maintaining a hub of information on available support to individuals and businesses on our website, including any assistance specific to the Tasmanian community.

How we can help:

• Identifying the concessions for which you or your business would be eligible;
• Reviewing your business’ wages and PAYG withholding calculations to ensure you receive the stimulus payment your business is entitled to;
• Helping you catch up with your Activity Statement lodgements so you can receive the business stimulus credits;
• Liaising with the ATO to facilitate PAYG instalment deferrals, variations and refunds;
• Liaising with the ATO to renegotiate existing tax debt payment plans;
• Re-calculating your mandated minimum pension withdrawals from the account-based pensions;
• Helping you apply for the temporary early release of superannuation, once it is legislated;

And more.

Please contact us here and we would be happy to assist.
