    · The short term extension of the $20,000 instant asset write off

    · Significant changes to superannuation legislation which will see tax required to be paid on unrealised gains within your super fund, and different tax rates for funds with over $3 million in assets

    · Additional funding being allocate to the ATO to assist with tax compliance scrutiny;

    · Likely changes to the Fair Work Act including banning non compete clauses in employment contracts amongst other things;

    · And what else might be in the pipeline with a majority Government in place.

    May 3 2025

    Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

    With so many options to choose from, it can be hard to discern what’s right for your small business. We hope to help simplify that process, and ensure your team are on board and excited about the new technology too.
