SME Communicator - July 2012

Welcome

Welcome to the July issue of SME Communicator.

SME Communicator has news and updates for businesses with an annual turnover between $2 million and $250 million.

This month we look at a number of issues relevant to small-to-medium businesses.

Our lead article announces the release of a new compliance booklet reflecting our updated and broader approach to managing compliance for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).

Other articles look at the new resource rent tax arrangements, changes to employment termination payments from 1 July 2012 and changes to the law about retaining refunds.

If your business is looking at claiming the R&D tax incentive you should read the article about the help available when you are making a claim.

The article about our tool to determine the status of your workers will help you to work out if a worker is a contractor or not.

Also of interest will be the article on changing superannuation contributions.

We hope that you enjoy this issue of SME Communicator.
