Welcome
Welcome to this special edition of Workforce education news, our free email newsletter.
Workforce education news is issued regularly to employers and professional associations to provide you with updates about tax entitlements and obligations that may affect you, your employees, and members of your organisation.
This special edition contains information about what we are doing to support the communities so badly affected by flooding. This may be relevant to you and other small business operators or members of your association so feel free to pass this information on.
Extension to lodge activity statements for flood victims
We recognise that businesses in flood affected areas of Queensland, northern NSW, Victoria and Western Australia may need more time to meet their lodgment and payment obligations.
If your business address is in Queensland, the Tweed area of north-eastern NSW, Victoria or any of the identified flood affected postcodes we will automatically defer your lodgment and payment dates for December monthly activity statements from the original due date of 21 January 2011 to 21 February 2011.
|
See Help through difficult times for more information and a list of identified affected postcodes.
If your business is not located within the listed postcodes and you require assistance, phone us on 1800 806 218 to discuss your circumstances and how we can help you.
You can check if your business received an automatic deferral through the Business Portal or phone our dedicated emergency support on 1800 806 218.
