With food and petrol prices on the rise and now interest rates putting pressure on new homeowners, people are starting to find it hard to put food on the table. Already, we are hearing stories of families having to go without. With likely interest rate rises continuing to occur this will place even more pressure on those families already struggling to obtain the essentials they require to get by on a day-to-day basis. In this month’s edition we have tried to find some organisations in the local area who may be able to help those families doing it really tough and require some additional support.

The data released on Tuesday by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare was drawn from information gathered in the latest Census, including that there were nearly 9.8 million households in 2021. Of those, 67 per cent were occupied by “owners”, with roughly half of those subject to mortgage.

About a third of households, or 2.9 million, are occupied by renters. “There has been a sharper increase in the proportion of young Australians renting compared with older Australians,” the institute said as part of its data release. By Nick (AustralianGibbsAssociated

Australian dream of home ownership is being realised by fewer young people than it was half a century Dataago. collected in the latest Census shows the home ownership rate of people aged 30 to 34-years-old sat at 50 per cent in 2021, a drop of 14 per cent since 1971. For those aged 25 to 29, the decrease was also 14 per cent over the same period, dropping to 36 per cent in 2021. Some of those people aged below 30 who owned their own home in the 1970s are among the Aussies with the highest rate of ownership in 2021. Baby Boomers – those born between 1946 and 1964 –make up the highest rate (82 per cent) of home owners in 2021.

Fraser Island to go the way of Ayers Rock

It’s hoped Fraser Island will follow the lead of Uluru and only be known by it’s Indigenous name, as the Queensland government flags an official name Thechange.proposal will take a step forward this week as two months of public consultation begin, Resources Minister Scott Stewart said on Wednesday. He hopes the process will lead to the Indigenous name of K’gari entering the common vernacular in the same way Uluru has replaced Ayers Rock.

The consultation follows the island’s world heritage area being renamed K’gari last year, Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said “K’gari means paradise in the Butchulla language and as a popular destination for its natural beauty, is a much more fitting name for such an iconic place,” Ms Scanlon said. “The name Fraser Island is culturally inappropriate – it is a tribute to Eliza Fraser, a woman whose narrative directly led to the massacre and dispossession of the Butchulla people.”

The reinstatement of K’gari as the island’s name has been a long time coming, chair of the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation Aunty Gayle Minniecon said. “It means so much to the Butchulla people,” she said. “For us it’s about respect for our people. It’s important for us to let our ancestors know that our culture is still strong and we continue to care for our country.”

By Warren Strybosch With all the changes that have occurred in the financial planning profession, it was good to note that there was nearly a 50% reduction in complaints in the 2022 FY compared to the 2021 FY relating to ‘Failure to act in the client’s best interests’ and ‘Inappropriate advice’.

Financial Planning Complaints Trending Down

“No one calls it Ayers Rock any more, they call it Uluru, and it’s about respecting our First Nations people, and about respecting the connection they have with this land,” Mr Stewart said. “(For) 60,000 years they’ve been calling it K’gari, I think it’s about time we started to do exactly the same.”

(Source: AFCA)

K’gari was originally known by Europeans as Great Sandy Island before it was changed to Fraser Island after Scotswoman Eliza Fraser was shipwrecked there in 1836. While the World Heritage Area became K’gari last year, the official place name for the world’s largest sand island had yet to change.

Tim Loh noted that the ATO’s Random Enquiry Program found that nine out of 10 tax returns that reported rental income contained at least one error. This is despite most of those property owners being assisted by a registered tax agent. While tax agents can only work with the information they gather from clients, the ATO said it expects agents to ask a few extra questions to ensure their client’s return is completed correctly.

Rental properties – An ATO focus area for 2022 returns

The ATO has issued a release stating that rental properties are one of its four main focus areas for the 2022 returns now being submitted. The ATO urged rental property owners to ensure they carefully review their records before declaring income or claiming deductions. The release highlights common pitfalls, including the importance of keeping ade quate Assistantrecords.Commissioner

There appears to be a growing trend amongst Melbourne councils to bring in stricter policies when it comes to cat ownership. In April 2022, Knox Council implemented a 24/7 ban on domestic cats leaving their owner’s property. There will be a 6 month grace period where only warnings will be issued but then this will change to a $91 fine for first time offences, then jump to $545 for subsequent breaches starting in October In2022.July 2023, Bass Coast Shire Council will also implement a 24/7 ban on cats straying from their owners property. They intend to have a 12 month education drive in the lead up to this ban. Manningham Council have announced that they will be implementing a trial 24/7 ban but have not yet announced a date for this. The general consensus for this growing trend is to protect the wildlife with a side note about protecting the cats themselves from injury and illness. Protecting the wildlife is important and a night curfew will help with this, but I think it is up to the cat’s owner to worry about illness and injury. However, what about consequences?the Many outdoor cats help to keep the rodent population down. Will we suddenly see a spike in rats and mice throughout these Councils and neighbouring councils, potentially causing much bigger problems? There doesn’t appear to have been much thought given as to how local households will be able to implement this. Simply building a cat run or enclosing your property in a high fence will be costly (and potentially unsightly) and prohibit many low-income families from doing this. Locking cats up, particularly older cats that are used to being outside seems cruel and is no better than locking up a wild animal in a cage at the zoo. Families who are renting will likely be unable to get permission from their landlord to build an enclosure as well. Will this lead to a lot of cats having to be rehomed because the families can’t afford to catproof their property? As I am sure you can guess, I do have a cat. She is a beautiful tortoiseshell DMH who loves being outside as well as inside. We have a number of cats in our street, and once they established their pecking order, they all seem to get on really well and we quite often find one or two other cats sitting near or in our front yard a couple of metres from our cat. Although they don’t sit together, it appears they still like the company of each other. We ensure our cat comes inside overnight, as do our neighbours and often that means she has to come in by 4pm in the summer otherwise she hides from us so she can stay out. Our house also doesn’t get a lot of sunshine inside throughout the day so she would miss out on that precious light if we were to keep her in 24/7. What are your thoughts on a 24/7 ban on cats leaving their owners property? Email us at editor@findgeelong.com.au and we’ll publish your comments next month.

• An application for release from the tax debt

“A credit rating is very important if you are highly leveraged, therefore this ability to provide this information so all can see is the thing that sometimes gets people to take note of the debt because it starts to impact their ability to finance their operations.”

“We’ve always asked for a tailored approach so if a business has been caught up in negative COVID scenarios then they [the ATO] should go soft, but if other businesses have thrived during COVID the tax office should go hard.”

The change applies only to sole traders with ATO debts that meet certain criteria.

Before disclosing a tax debt to CRBs, the ATO said it would send a written notice to the business that included steps that could be taken to avoid the information from being reported. As a sole trader it is important to work with your accountant and/or tax agent to make sure you can meet your meet your obligations going forward. That might mean setting up separate bank accounts to keep track of your GST, PAGW, and Super owing, so you have enough funds to pay those amounts when they fall due.

• An active review with the AAT of a reviewable decision that might affect the amount of a non-complying superannuation fund’s tax debt with the relevant regulator

• An active complaint with the IGTO in relation to the tax debt. Mr Greco said the ATO used the ability to disclose tax debt information to CRBs as a tool to influence businesses to take their debt seriously. “A lot of businesses treat the ATO as the lender of last resort so just don’t pay it,” he said. “When money becomes tight businesses just stop paying one of their creditors, and the easiest one is the ATO.

Mr Greco said the IPA wanted to see the ATO customise its approach for each “Taxbusiness.debts are a big problem and it has blown out for a good reason, the tax office was giving businesses a bit more leeway during COVID which was understandable,” he said.

Sole Traders – the ATO will now pass information on to Credit providers

By WarrenACCOUNTANTStrybosch

If you are a sole trader, you have not had to worry too much about any debts owing to the ATO. You would simply be placed on a payment plan and pay off what you can when you can. However, this is has now changed and the ATO is taking a harder stance against those business owners who owe money to the TheATO.ATO will now inform credit provides of debts larger than $100,000. This will have an impact on sole traders and partners seeking any type of finance e.g., home loan, investment loan or car finance, in the Generalfuture.manager of technical policy at the IPA, Tony Greco, said the move could provide a more even playing field for “Therebusinesses.arepluses and minuses, the pluses are it makes it more transparent that the market and all credit providers, including trade credit, get to see what level of debt the business has and it provides an extra impetus to that client to engage with the tax office,” said Mr Greco. “If you’ve got one business compliant and another not compliant then that’s an unfair advantage, so it promotes fairness in the tax system.”

• An active objection against a tax decision to which the debt related

• An active review with the AAT or an active appeal to the court

Having said that, how employees spend their free time is up to them, however the environment in which they spend work hours is really important for their wellbeing, and the employer is still responsible for any injuries they suffer, even when they work from home. The connection to insurance is straightforward. Following a serious injury “at work” like an electrocution, slip and fall, serious burn, or laceration for example, an employer may be prosecuted by WorkSafe after an investigation if they have contributed due to lack of care or failure of due dilligence. However; if the employer has audited the home work environment and made every attempt to eliminate wherever possible all of the hazards, and if the employer has Management Liability Insurance including Statutory Liability, the insurer may legally defend the claim or pay fines where appropriate and avert a possible conviction where unwaranted.

Income Protection Cover Income Protection Cover pays an ongoing monthly income for as long as you’re unable to work or until the end of the benefit period, whichever happens first. You can cover up to 70% of your income. Select from a range of benefit periods, from 2 years, 5 years or to age 65. Business Expense Cover You can’t afford to be sick if you’re selfemployed or running a small business. Business Expense Cover helps cover the fixed operating expenses of your business if you are unable to work due to sickness or injury. Similar to Income Protection Cover, you receive an ongoing monthly income (for a maximum of 1 year), but instead of replacing your salary, it covers your business expenses. This can help keep your business afloat while you’re on the road to recovery. Child Cover No one wants to see their child sick. But if it happened to your child, you’d want the best medical treatment available, and that can be expensive. Child Cover allows you to take up to $200,000 cover for kids aged between 2 and 18 and will pay a lump sum benefit if they suffer from a specified serious illness or in the event of their death. Helpful little extras (provided by some insurers) Some insurers provide the following quality features:

FINANCIALStrybosch PersonalPLANNINGInsurance: Types of Cover

• Paying the mortgage or rent • Paying for your children’s education

By Warren

Last month we discussed how much personal insurance you should consider having in place. It was a starting point and seeking professional financial advice is important to determine the right amount of cover for your needs.

You choose the type of cover and the benefit amount you need. To keep your cover in place, you need to pay your premiums. If you suffer an insured event while your cover is in place, you (or your beneficiaries if you’ve died) can claim the benefit amount, subject to satisfying the relevant terms and conditions. If the unfortunate happens, we will pay out on genuine claims. The conditions on which we pay out depend on the type of cover. Remember to consider this carefully before taking out cover and read the relevant PDS. What’s covered?

• Causes: Some types of cover are limited to accidents only, while others cover you for sickness and accident

where life insurance can help. Our range of life insurance covers can help you and your family financially if something bad happens to you. The right cover can help with:

• Events covered: Covers typically protects financially against sickness, injuries or death (or a combination of these)

Cover for your family when you’re Lifegone...Cover Life Cover can help ease the financial burden for your family if you’re terminally ill or die. With a lump sum benefit, your family can use the money to pay off the mortgage or other debts and maintain their current standard of living. You choose an amount of cover that’s right for you. Cover for you while you’re living Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover Some sickness and injuries may end up leaving you totally and permanently disabled and unlikely to ever work again. TPD Cover pays a lump sum benefit that can be used to make modifications to the family home, access the best rehabilitation or simply provide money to live on. Income Protection Cover only covers up to 70% of your income, so TPD Cover can be used to top up the shortfall. Trauma Cover

• Covering out-of-pocket medical expenses How life insurance works Life insurance is there to pay you and your family when you need it the most. This could be anything from a temporary sickness or injury, through to a permanent disability or death. Life insurance products differ by:

• Covering your day to day bills, and

• Indexation: We will automatically increase your cover each year to ensure your benefit amount keeps up with inflation (premiums will increase in line with increased cover)

This month we are going to review the different types of personal insurances you can obtain. It is important to note that that not every insurer offers the below type of cover but they are available through different insurers. Again, seeking appropriate financial planning advice is important. Talk to a licenced financial planner and they can discuss with you what types of cover you should consider. Please do not go to a mortgage broker, the bank or a general insurance broker and ask them to provide you with personal insurance. That is akin to asking a masseur to perform surgery on you…they could do it but they are likely to botch it up. Go to the professionals if you want a professional job done right. Why life insurance is important We insure our cars, home, pet and even our health. But many of us neglect to insure our most important asset – our lives. Whether you need to take time off work to recover from a sickness or injury; change your lifestyle due to a permanent disability, or you die unexpectedly, without your income, it can have a huge impact on you and your family’s quality of That’slife.

If you suffer from a specified serious illness such as cancer, heart attack or stroke, a lump sum benefit paid upon diagnosis may help you access the best medical treatment, or pay down some of your debt. You can choose a benefit amount of up to $2 million, and you are covered for more than 40 specified conditions.

• Lump sum benefit vs daily benefit: Some types of cover pay the benefit as a one off lump sum, while others pay as an ongoing benefit amount. Insurance that makes regular payments typically cover you for the period that you’re out of action

• Provision for continuing cover: Once we issue your policy, we won’t change the terms and conditions or the premium you pay because of a change in your personal circumstances

2022 TAX

Temporary fuel excise cut and fuel tax credits Apprentice wage subsidy programs 50% minimum pension drawdowns extended for another 12 months

Non-commercial losses and the Commissioner’s safe harbour Excise and excise-equivalent customs duty that applies to petrol and diesel will be temporarily reduced by The50%.reduction of the fuel excise will be in place for 6 months, beginning at 12:01am on 30 March 2022 and ending at 11:59pm on 28 September 2022.

The new temporary excise rate of 22.1 cents per litre will bring excise below the road user charge for businesses who claim fuel tax credits. All eligible businesses who employ an apprentice between 5 October 2020 and 30 June 2022 are eligible to receive a 50% wage subsidy. The wage subsidy is available for 12 months from commencement of employment. The maximum available subsidy is $7,000 per quarter per apprentice. This wage subsidy is a stimulus payment announced to effectively boost employment for young people and help businesses transition away from the COVID-19 downturn. These payments will be received via the Australian Apprentices Incentives Program. This program currently services employers by providing cash payments when apprentices meet certain targets. Another program for apprentices that was in place prior to 5 October 2020 dealt with keeping apprentices employed (as opposed to employing new apprentices). These subsidies were to combat rising unemployment and an expected economic downturn due to COVID-19. The wage subsidy was based on which apprentices remained in employment with their employer on 1 March 2020 and 1 July 2020. Originally, only small business employers were eligible to participate. From 1 July 2020, the government extended the measure to include medium-sized businesses. The original wage subsidy commenced for employers from 1 January 2020 and ran through to 31 March 2021.

The business will be required to show necessary evidence to support using the safe harbour. Once finalised, the draft guideline will apply to the 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22 income years.

Minimum drawdowns for superannuation pensions have been halved again for the 2022–23 income year. This extension means that the reduction of minimum drawdowns will be available for self-funded retirees from 1 July 2019 through 30 June 2023. This measure is intended to support retirees in managing the impact of the: recent volatility in financial markets, and prevailing low interest rates on their retirement savings. Sole traders and partners in a partnership may be able to utilise a safe harbour to deduct non-commercial losses against other assessable income. The draft PCG bypasses the Commissioner’s discretion under the non-commercial loss rules, where a business has been directly affected by floods, bushfires or the COVID-19 pandemic.

Family groups using this strategy may benefit from utilising this extension of time to repay the initial unpaid present entitlement from the 2009–10 income year. A finalised tax determination has changed the ATO’s position on how sub-trust arrangements apply within the context of Div 7A. Effectively, when a corporate beneficiary and trustee of the trust are ultimately the same people, Div 7A will apply directly to unpaid present entitlements (UPEs). In this instance, the provision of financial accommodation will now be assumed. In practice, this means that sub-trust arrangements will have no additional benefits either in deferral of tax or repayment of loans.

Unpaid present entitlements and extension of repayments

30 June 2018 is the first year in which an interest-only loan at benchmark rates is due to be repaid after the issuing of PS LA 2010/4. That is, 7 years after the initial UPE was put on a sub-trust from the 30 June 2010 year.

ATO scrutiny of s 100A family trust arrangements

17AUGUST 2022 | FIND CASEY

The ATO is allowing an extension for unpaid present entitlements (UPE) to private companies initially under an interest-only loan on the final repayment date. The practical compliance guideline deals with UPEs that were put on commercial investment terms in accordance with PS LA 2010/4. If there is a balance to be repaid at the end of the investment period, it may become a new Div 7A loan.

Changes to Div 7A that practically end sub-trust arrangements

TAX UPDATES

The PCG has recently been updated to relate to arrangements ending in the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 income years. However, as TR 2010/3 and PS LA 2010/4 have now been withdrawn, only UPEs that arose on or before 30 June 2022 are allowed.

The tax determination applies to trust entitlements arising on or after 1 July 2022.

On 23 February 2022, the ATO released TR 2022/D1 and PCG 2022/D1 in relation to distributions made by trustees of discretionary trusts. This was complemented by TA 2022/1, which discusses parents benefitting from the trust entitlements of the adult children. All 3 documents focus on schemes where income is diverted from an intended beneficiary in order to reduce tax liabilities. The rulings discuss these at detail and include significant attention to an important carve out for dealings that are “ordinary family or commercial” dealings. These dealings are excluded from the anti-avoidance provisions. Following on from the release of the draft guidance, the ATO has reiterated its stance in many areas relating to s 100A. In particular, where situations would generally come under an ordinary family or commercial dealing.Trustees need to make sure that their distributions are in accordance with the expectations of the ATO, otherwise they may be subject to an audit. Helping them understand their obligations is paramount coming up to the end of the current income year.

Planning Scheme Amendment C115 (the Amendment) to the Casey Planning Scheme enabled consideration of a refuse disposal facility at 950 Ballarto Road, Cranbourne South. The Amendment included a concurrent planning application for the use and development of the refuse disposal facility (Solid Inert Waste) and display of signage.

The Planning Panel handed down its report on 12 February 2014 and recommended to the Minister for Planning and Council that the proposal be approved. The reports can be viewed on the Victorian State Government’s website. Amendment C115 was approved by the Minister for Planning and published in the Government Gazette on 25 June 2015. A planning permit was issued by the City of Casey in alignment with the Ministers Planning Panel assessment. Why did Council extend the landfill permit?

The site was supported by State Government planning policy and specifically identified in the Metropolitan Waste Resource Recovery Strategic Plan as a site that could service solid inert waste disposal demand. The Amendment was exhibited by Council to the community during July/August 2013. Public exhibition included notices and material sent to approximately 1,400 landowners and occupiers, public notices in the local papers, and signage on site. The exhibition material included the proposed permit details and draft Inconditions.September 2013, state-wide changes were made by the Minister for Planning to the Farming Zone which had the effect of changing “industry” (which includes Refuse Disposal’) from a “Prohibited” use, to a “Permit required” use. An independent Planning Panel was appointed by the Minister for Planning to review the Amendment and submissions. The panel report considered the 17 submissions and a petition received through the exhibition period.

What is Council Doing? Council has issued a Planning Contravention Notice to SBI, as the operator of the site, relating to the amenity impacts of the operation. The permit relies upon compliance with the more detailed operating licence issued by the EPA. Council is continuing to advocate on behalf of our residents and meets regularly with EPA to ensure the issue is being addressed, as well as providing Council facilities and resources.

Why did Council issue a permit in the first place and did Council advise the community that a landfill permit would be issued?

Why can’t the EPA or Council take more compliance action against SBI, including closing the site down?

It is important that a coordinated enforcement strategy is adopted and Theapplied.EPA is the regulatory authority responsible for compliance and enforcement against SBI Landfill Pty Ltd for odour. The immediate focus is to abate the sources of odour and mitigate the impact on the local community as soon as Councilpossible.advancing further enforcement proceedings under the Victorian Planning and Environment Act (1987) at this juncture, risks jeopardising any proceedings under the Environment Protection Act (2017). It is also important to note State legislation does not give Council’s Local Laws authority to override EPA action and close down the site.

What authority is responsible for enforcement and compliance of odour for the landfill site? Under the Environment Protection Act, EPA is the lead authority for the enforcement of the site’s operating licence, including addressing any odour related issues. The EPA’s website includes details on what action they are taking to address the issue.
