Payroll, Single Touch Payroll and Payday Super

From 1 July 2026, Payday Super means employers must pay super with each pay run, and it must reach the employee’s fund within 7 business days (ATO). We set up and check Xero Payroll, STP reporting, pay items, leave and super so your payroll is right from the start. Payroll tax advice is available if your wages are approaching the WA threshold.

Farm Accounting for Wheatbelt Families

Accounting that works with the seasons, not against them.

Farm income doesn’t arrive in neat monthly instalments. One year’s harvest pays for the next year’s seeding, machinery needs replacing at the worst possible time, and the family’s future is tied up in the land. We’ve worked alongside Wheatbelt farming families for [many years: confirm], and we set up your accounts, tax and planning around how your farm actually runs.

Farm tax planning before 30 June, not after

The best tax decisions get made while there’s still time to act. Before the end of the financial year we’ll sit down with your harvest and cash position and look at the options. These can include:

• Prepayments and asset purchases, and whether they actually make sense for cash flow
• Farm Management Deposits (FMDs): setting income aside in a good year and drawing it down in a tough one (eligibility rules apply)
• Primary producer income averaging, which can reduce tax when income swings from year to year
