About this listen

The latest episode of the BK Pod is out now—bringing you practical insights and updates to support your practice as we move into 2026.

Kelvin Deer (ABN Director) steps through a suite of new and upcoming tools for BAS agents, including the BAS Agent Readiness Checklist, AML/CTF Kit, Supervision & Review Playbook, Breach Reporting Guide, and the soon-to-be-released Payday Super Kit.

Then Peter Thorp and Kerrie Jarius unpack the ATO’s recent changes to the General Interest Charge (GIC) remission process. They explain what’s new, how to lodge remission requests using the new form, and what bookkeepers can expect when dealing with debts under—and over—$2,500.

In this episode:

  • Your 2026 Toolkit for AML, Payday Super, QMS, plus staff/contractor supervision, and the updated breach reporting rules
  • How to use the new ATO remission form and where to lodge it
  • Why small debt cases under $2,500 may now be faster and easier to resolve
  • What the new written outcomes mean for you and your clients
  • Which remission claims still rely on individual case officer discretion
