The Pandemic...

What now? Unwinding the Pandemic...

Australia's two largest states and the ACT are in lockdown as the Delta strain of COVID-19 takes its toll while others are standing firm on a policy of eradication. The result is a country at a policy impasse and divided by border restrictions.

And, it is not just businesses in lockdown that are in crisis. Tourism and hospitality businesses that rely on interstate trade are equally impacted but financial assistance is often limited or non-existent if they are not in a hotspot.

At the time of writing, Australia is on track to fully vaccinate the eligible population of 20.62 million adults in December 2021. Based on National Cabinet's four stage roadmap to normal, Australia should move to phase B of the plan when 70% of the eligible population have received their second dose of the vaccine. At Phase B, it is expected that lockdowns will be "less likely" and special rules will apply to the fully vaccinated. At Phase C, when 80% of the eligible population is vaccinated, the plan is for Australia to return to "baseline restrictions" with no caps on returning visitors, and a gradual opening of inward and outward international travel with safe countries (quarantine requirements will still apply but will be reduced).

The problem for "Team Australia" is that not all players are the same. While some regions remain in an eradication phase, the strategy for opening and returning to normal is necessarily different (assuming these regions remain Delta free).

In NSW and Victoria, hope of defeating Delta has been abandoned with the focus now on bringing the population up to the maximum vaccination level to prevent hospitalisations and death.

In QLD and WA however, the strategy for opening is more complex with the bar being raised well beyond the national plan (Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has demand that children under 12 be included in vaccination targets).

Freedoms for the fully vaccinated and what it means to business

A major concern for many business operators is the expectation of policing vaccination status for both staff and customers.

Identifying vaccinated customers

 

Both the New South Wales and Victorian Premiers have stated that there will be greater freedoms for those who are double jabbed with new QR code check-in technology expected at the end of September. Instead of having to show a vaccination certificate or medical record, Victorian Premier Dan Andrews said that the QR codes, "don't store that information, but you either get a tick or a cross, and on that basis you are allowed in or not." This system might also assist those who are medically exempt from vaccination as they would not need to explain their medical history behind their exemption.

But is it discriminatory? The Australian Human Rights Commission (ARC) says, "Vaccine passports are more likely to be consistent with human rights when they are used as a tool to ease existing restrictions and improve public health outcomes. Rather than becoming a further requirement on top of existing restrictions, vaccine passports should generally operate in place of them."

 

"…the guiding human rights principles for considering measures taken to advance public health are:

·
They must be reasonable, necessary, and proportionate.

·
They must take into account the potential for discrimination."

While public health orders are likely to protect business operators from discrimination claims, not all are waiting. Qantas was the first major airline to state that it would require passengers to be vaccinated on international flights when borders open. Several sporting venues have also stated that the price of the return to live events is double vaccination for both staff and patrons.

A business operator has the ability now to refuse entry or service to a customer as long as anti-discrimination rules are not breached. Excluding an individual by vaccination status without a public health order however will be a question of whether the rule is reasonable, necessary, and proportionate.

Staff members and vaccinations

In general, vaccination will remain voluntary and free in Australia but there are some sectors where vaccinations are mandatory (see Legislation and public health orders requiring vaccination against coronavirus ). Common sectors include aged care and hotel quarantine. In these sectors, the employer is generally responsible for enforcing the Health Orders.

Outside of a public health order an employer can mandate that employees are vaccinated but only if the direction to be vaccinated is "lawful and reasonable". In addition to being able to mandate vaccinations under the relevant Award or agreement, employers need to ensure that mandating vaccinations is reasonable for example, because the staff member's duties put them at increased risk of being infected or they have close contact with vulnerable people (see Can an employer require an employee to be vaccinated? on the FairWork website).

Qantas for example will require all frontline employees to be fully vaccinated by 15 November 2021 and all other employees to be vaccinated by 31 March 2022. The announcement followed a company wide survey of staff that revealed 89% planned to be fully vaccinated and only 4% were unwilling or unable to be vaccinated. Qantas is yet to release details of how medical exemptions will be applied.

In workplaces where vaccinations are not mandated, an employer can only collect information on an employee's vaccination status where it is reasonably necessary for the organisation's functions or activities or where it is required by law. In these cases, it may be possible for the employer to ask to see evidence of an employee's vaccination status without breaching privacy laws (see the FairWork website and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner for further information).

Another question is whether an employee can refuse to come to work because their co-workers are not vaccinated. On this, FairWork says "If an employee refuses to attend the workplace because a co-worker isn't vaccinated, their employer can direct them to attend the workplace if the direction is lawful and reasonable." But, the Australian Human Rights Commission states that where someone is particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, a "blanket rule requiring all employees to attend a particular workplace may constitute indirect discrimination." Whether it's reasonable for an employee to attend their workplace is highly dependent on the facts and you should seek legal advice.

The ATO is turning up the heat on employers who provide work vehicles for private use. Sophisticated data-matching means assumptions and shortcuts can quickly lead to audits, penalties, interest charges—and even reputational damage. You can see the latest ATO FBT audit warning here: Misreporting FBT on personal use of work vehicles | Australian Taxation Office If you provide vehicles to your team, whether to support fieldwork, boost morale, or offer a valuable perk, now is the time to ensure your FBT reporting is watertight. Here’s what the ATO is focusing on—and how to protect your business. Don’t Assume Dual-Cab Utes Are Automatically Exempt Dual-cab utes are popular in trades and construction, but despite popular opinion, they’re not automatically FBT-free. Whether an FBT exemption applies can depend on the vehicle’s design and also how it is used across the FBT year. Even if a ute is designed to carry a load of at least 1 tonne (ie, it is not classified as a car for FBT purposes) or it isn’t designed mainly to carry passengers (there is a specific formula used for this purpose) FBT could still be triggered if there is some private use of the ute. The ATO has identified many cases where employers wrongly claimed full FBT exemptions, leading to back taxes plus interest. The best way to handle ATO enquiries around the FBT exemption for commercial vehicles is to ensure that appropriate evidence is already in place to support the application of that exemption. While the FBT rules don’t specifically require formal logbooks when looking at this exemption, failing to keep records that are similar to a logbook can make it difficult to navigate ATO review or audit activities. Accurately Apportion Private vs Business Use If a full FBT exemption doesn’t apply then FBT is typically calculated on private use of work vehicles. You need to determine what portion of running costs—fuel, maintenance, depreciation—relates to personal trips. Ignoring this step can seem harmless but can quickly escalate during an audit. Thorough record-keeping and proper apportioning can sometimes reduce your FBT liability even if the vehicle is used mainly for business purposes. Remember that if a FBT liability is triggered it is the employer’s problem. Lodging FBT Returns Even if you think the FBT liability for the year might be small or immaterial, you might find that there is still an obligation to lodge an FBT return. The ATO’s analytics flag non-lodgers automatically. Penalties can reach up to 200% of the tax owed, plus interest. Tip: Mark your calendar—FBT returns are due May 21 each year. Timely filing keeps your business compliant and avoids cash flow shocks. Keep Reliable Logbooks and Records A valid logbook tracks odometer readings, trip purposes, and business-use percentages over a 12-week period (renewable every five years). While not every scenario involving a motor vehicle specifically requires a valid logbook, failing to keep logbooks can sometimes lead to significant FBT liabilities that could otherwise have been avoided. Efficiency tip: Digital logbook apps simplify tracking, save time, and reduce errors. Good records can also support deductions. Why it Matters Commercially Non-compliance isn’t just a numbers game. ATO audits divert time and energy from running your business, and ATO attention can affect your reputation with clients, partners, or lenders. Conversely, getting FBT right ensures you pay only what’s required, protects cash flow, and may even reveal tax efficiencies. Next steps: Review your vehicle policies, update records, and ask us if you need help. We help businesses manage FBT with confidence—making compliance straightforward and stress-free. Remember: assumptions can be costly, but a proactive approach protects your business, your people, and your peace of mind.

When selling a business—or even a slice of one—how you value the assets involved can have a major impact on the tax bill. A recent Full Federal Court decision, Kilgour v Commissioner of Taxation [2025] FCAFC 183, offers timely guidance on how “market value” is really determined for capital gains tax (CGT) purposes. When preparing for transactions, restructures or potential exit events, the case is a useful reminder: valuations must reflect real commercial conditions, not just theoretical models. What Happened? In 2016, three family trusts sold 100% of the shares in Punters Paradise Pty Ltd, an online wagering business, to News Corp for approximately $31 million. The ownership split was: Pettett Trust – 60% Kilgour Family Trust – 20% Reuhl Family Trust – 20% The sale was negotiated at arm’s length, involved extensive due diligence, and included a working-capital adjustment after completion. The minority beneficiaries (20% holders) sought to use the small business CGT concessions, which in this case required the seller’s net assets to be below $6 million. To fall below the threshold, they argued their 20% minority interests should be heavily discounted in value—because a small holding is usually worth less on a standalone basis. The ATO disagreed, saying each 20% parcel formed part of a coordinated 100% sale and should simply be valued as 20% of the final $31 million deal price. The Court agreed with the ATO. How the Court Approached Market Value The Court applied the long-standing “willing buyer/willing seller” principles from Spencer v Commonwealth—but with a modern, commercial twist. Two practical messages emerge: 1. Real-world expectations matter more than rigid valuation dates Although the tax rules in this area require looking at value “just before” signing the sale contract, the Court said you cannot ignore things that were reasonably predictable at that point. Here, the sale was essentially locked in through negotiations, so the final agreed price was the best evidence of market value. Practical takeaway: If a purchaser is clearly willing to pay a premium—for control, synergies, strategic value or expansion opportunities—those factors will likely shape the valuation for tax purposes. 2. Actual deal terms beat theoretical discounts The taxpayers tried to argue for a typical “minority discount”. However, the Court said the real commercial context matters more: All shareholders intended to sell together The buyer wanted all the shares, not bits and pieces. A coordinated, 100% sale typically lifts the value of each parcel. Because of that, the hypothetical buyer would not insist on a discount. The minority interests effectively rode on the value of the full-stake sale. Practical takeaway: When shareholders act collectively, the tax valuation of each interest can increase—sometimes significantly. What This Means for Business Owners Don’t undervalue your stake - If the buyer is pursuing synergies or control, your interest might be worth more than a textbook minority valuation suggests. Make sure your advisers consider the wider commercial picture. Evidence is everything - Keep thorough records such as negotiations, emails, valuations, buyer motivations. These can be powerful in supporting your tax position and accessing concessions. Plan CGT concession eligibility early - If you’re relying on the small business concessions, test different deal scenarios before signing any contracts or other paperwork, including a heads of agreement. Sometimes restructuring ownership or staging a sale can make a material difference, but integrity and anti-avoidance rules in the tax system still need to be considered carefully. Align shareholder expectations - In family groups and private companies, minority owners often assume their shares will be valued as a standalone piece. Kilgour shows that courts will often look at the transaction as a whole—not each slice in isolation. The Bottom Line  Kilgour reinforces that valuations for tax purposes work best when they reflect the real commercial world, not theoretical models. Before you sell, restructure or negotiate with a potential buyer, involve your accountant early. A well-supported valuation can mean the difference between accessing valuable CGT concessions—or missing out.

As Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) lodgement season approaches, family businesses should carefully review the perks they provide to working directors and family members. A high-profile case involving luxury vehicles provided to three brothers who run a large business empire through a discretionary trust highlights the complexities — and potential risks — of informal arrangements. While the case initially appeared to expand FBT exposure, the latest decision handed down by the Full Federal Court offers reassurance that not all benefits provided to working owners will automatically trigger FBT. What may seem like harmless "owner entitlements" or beneficiary perks can still attract scrutiny from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). However, the courts have emphasised the importance of substance, documentation, and the capacity in which benefits are provided. The Background Three brothers operate a substantial business involving petrol stations, convenience stores, fast food, tobacco outlets, and gift shops. They serve as shareholders, directors, and key decision-makers (with powers as appointors under the trust deed), working long hours in executive-style roles without drawing formal cash salaries or wages. Profits and benefits flow through the family discretionary trust (SFT Trust), of which their corporate trustee (SEPL Pty Ltd) is the trustee. The brothers and family members are beneficiaries. The business provided them with exclusive access to over 40 luxury and high-performance vehicles (including Bentleys and Ferraris) for both business and personal use. Costs associated with personal use were debited to the matriarch’s beneficiary account and later cleared by trust distributions — a mechanism consistent with beneficiary entitlements rather than employment remuneration. The ATO assessed FBT on the private use component of these car benefits, arguing they were fringe benefits provided to the brothers as "employees" in respect of their employment. What the Court Decided The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) initially ruled in favour of the taxpayer ( Re BQKD and Commissioner of Taxation [2024] AATA 1796). It found that the brothers were not "employees" for FBT purposes and that, even on a hypothetical basis, the vehicle benefits were not provided "in respect of" any employment. The benefits were instead linked to their capacities as beneficiaries, proprietors, and controlling family members. The Commissioner appealed to a single judge of the Federal Court, who in June 2025 ( Commissioner of Taxation v SEPL Pty Ltd as trustee of the SFT Trust [2025] FCA 581) allowed the appeal. Justice O'Sullivan held that the brothers were employees under the broad FBT definitions (including via the hypothetical deeming rule in s 137 of the Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986 (Cth) — FBTAA) and that the benefits were provided in respect of their employment. The taxpayer then appealed to the Full Federal Court. On 27 March 2026, in SEPL Pty Ltd as trustee of the SFT Trust v Commissioner of Taxation [2026] FCAFC 36 (Perry, O’Callaghan and Thawley JJ), the Full Court unanimously allowed the appeal. The Full Federal Court basically restored the AAT's decision. Key findings: Employee status: It was open to the AAT to conclude the brothers were not "employees" for FBT purposes. The definitions of "employee" and "salary or wages" ultimately draw on common law concepts of employment. The AAT properly considered factors such as the absence of employment contracts, no wages or leave entitlements, the presence of employed managers for operational roles, and the brothers' control being referable to their proprietorial and governance roles rather than traditional employment. "In respect of" employment: Even assuming (hypothetically) that the brothers were employees, it was open to the AAT to find there was no sufficient material connection between the benefits and any employment relationship. Here, access to the vehicles was not a substitute for salary or wages. The AAT correctly weighed competing explanations and found the benefits arose primarily from family/trust relationships, not employment. Why This Matters for Your Business The case underscores the ATO's ongoing focus on dual-capacity individuals (e.g., directors who are also beneficiaries and active workers in trust structures). However, the Full Court's reasoning provides important boundaries:  Informal perks for working family members in discretionary trusts are not automatically subject to FBT. Substance and documentation matter: How benefits are provided, funded, and recorded (e.g., via trust distributions vs. remuneration) can help in determining the outcome. Common law employment concepts remain relevant in interpreting FBT definitions. Blending roles does not inevitably trigger FBT if the dominant characterisation is beneficiary-based. Family businesses should still exercise caution. The ATO may continue to scrutinise similar arrangements, particularly where benefits appear to represent a substitute for remuneration or lack clear documentation. Superannuation contributions or executive titles can sometimes support employee characterisation, though they were not decisive here. Practical Steps to Protect Your Business Don't wait for an audit—review your arrangements now: Document clearly: If a benefit is a trust distribution to a beneficiary, record it via trustee resolutions. If it's tied to work duties, treat it as a fringe benefit and calculate FBT accordingly. Or confirm why they fall outside the regime. Consider FBT properly: Apply statutory formulas or operating cost methods for cars. Employee contributions (e.g., reimbursing personal use) can reduce or eliminate liability. Consider exemptions/concessions: Minor benefits under $300, or salary packaging for EVs, might help. Audit overlaps: We also need to check for Division 7A loan issues or deemed dividends if benefits flow through private companies. Plan proactively: With ATO focus intensifying (as highlighted in recent compliance updates), model scenarios to minimise tax without losing commercial perks. Remember that if the ATO discovers some unreported FBT liabilities then the business can also be exposed to penalties and interest. The SEPL case ultimately favours the taxpayer and reinforces that FBT does not capture every benefit provided to working owners in family trust structures. However, every arrangement turns on its specific facts and evidence. If your business provides vehicles, phones, travel, or other perks to family members actively involved in operations — especially without formal salaries — now is a good time to review. Our team can help analyse your structures, run FBT calculations or risk assessments, and implement practical fixes to protect profits while maintaining flexibility. The law in this area is fact-sensitive and continues to evolve. Professional advice tailored to your circumstances is essential.

The Better Targeted Superannuation Concessions measure (known as the Division 296 tax) is now law and takes effect from 1 July 2026. For those with large super balances, it’s important to understand what the new tax does, why it’s been introduced, and the practical steps you and your financial adviser should consider. The Purpose of the Tax Division 296 is designed to make superannuation tax concessions fairer and more sustainable. Rather than changing the way super is taxed for everyone, the law targets a small group of people who hold large super balances, ensuring they pay more tax on the portion of investment earnings that relate to those large balances. Who it Applies to — Thresholds and Rates This new measure, starting 1 July 2026 (first year is 2026-27), applies to an individual with total superannuation balances (TSBs) in excess of the following thresholds: • Large balance threshold: $3.0 million • Very large threshold: $10.0 million. Both thresholds will be indexed in future years. This will mean that the overall tax imposed on superannuation fund earnings will be as follows: Division 296 TSB Band Tax Rate Effective Tax Rate Up to $3,000,000 0% 15% (standard fund tax) $3,000,001 to $10,000,000 15% 30% (15% + 15%) Above $10,000,000 25% 40% (15% + 25%) Certain people will be excluded from having this new tax levied upon them, notwithstanding that their TSB may exceed the threshold. Excluded persons include child recipients of death benefit pensions and individuals who have made structured settlement superannuation contributions for a personal injury compensation payment. Further, where a person dies, they will no longer have a TSB. However, other than the first year of operation (ie, 2026-27), there can still be a Division 296 tax assessment in respect of the financial year in which they die, where they had a TSB of more than $3 million at the start of the year. Given superannuation is not an estate asset, this scenario should be considered as part of a review of an individual’s estate plan. How the Tax Works From an SMSF perspective, the fund will calculate its Division 296 earnings, which is based on its taxable income with adjustments for assessable contributions; net exempt income attributable to pensions; any non-arm’s length income (which is already taxed at 45%) and income relating to investments in a pooled superannuation trust. There may also be adjustments for any capital gains made from the disposal of fund assets, if the fund has made the relevant small-fund CGT election. The calculated Division 296 superannuation earnings is then attributed to fund members using an attribution percentage calculated by an actuary. This information will be used by the ATO to assess the member’s Division 296 tax liability. Division 296 tax is levied on the individual, not a superannuation fund. However, the tax can be paid either by the individual or they can elect for the amount to be deducted from their nominated superannuation interest. Next Steps If your total super balance is near—or already above—the thresholds, it is important that you contact your financial adviser to arrange tailored modelling and to discuss whether the small-fund CGT election is suitable. Early planning will help you manage cashflow, reporting and any actuarial requirements efficiently. This will also be an opportunity to review the suitability and benefits of holding investment capital in a superannuation structure versus alternatives for amounts in excess of the large threshold.

From 1 July 2026, the way you pay your employees’ super is changing. Instead of making quarterly super payments to your employees’ funds, contributions will essentially need to be paid at the same time as salary and wages. ‘Payday Super’ marks a significant change for employers. To make sure your business isn’t caught out, make sure you’ve taken the following readiness steps, in line with ATO guidance .  Understand the new requirements Under the new regime, super guarantee payments must reach your employees’ super funds within seven business days of payday, though longer deadlines apply in some cases, such as for new employees. The amount of contribution is calculated as 12% of an employee’s ‘qualifying earnings’ – a new term that incorporates and expands on the previous concept of ordinary time earnings. If contributions are not made on time, in full and to the correct fund, the super guarantee charge (SGC) may apply. Plan your transition The ATO recommends that employers do the work now to plan and prepare for Payday Super. This includes: - Deciding when, exactly, your business will move to Payday Super (noting early adoption is perfectly fine). - Reviewing your cash flow position, to make sure your business can cope with a shift away from quarterly to ‘real-time’ super payments. - Checking your current payroll and business processes, such as confirming that super fund details for all eligible employees are up-to-date and complete. Lock in plans Once your business has determined when it will start using Payday Super, the next step is to make sure all relevant systems are ready for the change. That includes the payroll software you use, as well as any clearing houses or super fund portals you may use to make super guarantee contributions. For any businesses that use the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH), remember that it will close permanently from 1 July 2026 as part of the Payday Super reforms. Finally, take the time to troubleshoot any potential issues that might arise once Payday Super is live. For example, your business may need to implement a process quickly to correct any errors that might arise when paying employees’ super contributions. Remember, from 1 July 2026… …Payday Super is mandatory. Any businesses that do not adapt to the new rules and continue to pay super quarterly run the risk of being on the receiving end of compliance action by the ATO. If your business needs help preparing for Payday Super, feel free to reach out to a member of our team. We can walk you through the requirements of the new legislation and troubleshoot any potential pitfalls well ahead of 1 July.

Top 10 Tax Deductions for Doctors and Medical Practitioners in Australia Medical practitioners in Australia often face complex tax obligations due to high incomes, multiple work locations, and ongoing professional expenses. Understanding which tax deductions are legitimately available can make a significant difference to your after‑tax position—while remaining fully compliant with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements. Below are ten common tax deductions that doctors, specialists, locums, and medical practice owners should review each financial year. 1. Medical Equipment and Professional Tools Medical equipment and tools used for work purposes—such as stethoscopes, diagnostic tools, surgical instruments, and medical bags—are generally tax‑deductible. Lower‑cost items may be claimed immediately, while higher‑value equipment typically needs to be depreciated over its effective life. Depending on the timing and structure of purchase, tax depreciation concessions may allow accelerated deductions. 2. Work‑Related Motor Vehicle Expenses If you travel between multiple work locations, such as hospitals, clinics, private rooms, or patient home visits, you may be entitled to claim motor vehicle expenses. The ATO allows claims using either the logbook method or the cents‑per‑kilometre method. Travel between home and your primary workplace is generally not deductible unless you are a locum or considered genuinely itinerant. 3. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Education Expenses incurred to maintain or improve your existing medical skills are usually deductible. This can include CPD course fees, professional conferences, seminars, and approved training programs. Where there is a clear professional purpose, reasonable travel and accommodation costs associated with education may also be deductible, including for interstate or overseas conferences. 4. Professional Memberships and Registration Fees Registration and subscription costs that are necessary for you to practise medicine are generally tax‑deductible. These may include AHPRA registration fees, medical college memberships, medical association subscriptions, and medical indemnity insurance premiums. 5. Home Office Expenses Many doctors perform administrative duties, telehealth consultations, research, or practice management tasks from home. In these cases, a portion of home office expenses may be claimable, such as electricity, internet, phone usage, and office equipment. Claims must be supported by accurate records and reasonably apportioned between work and private use. 6. Income Protection Insurance Premiums for personally held income protection insurance are generally tax‑deductible for medical practitioners. Life insurance, total and permanent disability (TPD), and trauma insurance premiums are not deductible when held personally, although different rules may apply when insurance is held within superannuation. 7. Technology and Software Expenses Doctors can usually claim deductions for work‑related technology, including laptops, tablets, mobile phones, practice management systems, medical software, and accounting or billing platforms. If an asset is used partly for personal purposes, the expense must be apportioned accordingly. 8. Uniforms, Scrubs, and Laundry Branded uniforms and occupation‑specific clothing such as scrubs are deductible, as are associated laundry and cleaning costs. Conventional clothing, even if only worn at work, is not deductible under ATO guidelines. 9. Interest on Business and Equipment Loans Interest on loans used for income‑producing purposes is generally tax‑deductible. This includes loans for medical equipment, practice fit‑outs, business acquisitions, and certain leasing or finance arrangements. Only the interest portion of repayments is deductible, not the principal. 10. Personal Superannuation Contributions Medical practitioners may be eligible to claim tax deductions for personal superannuation contributions made in addition to employer contributions, subject to concessional contribution caps. A valid Notice of Intent to Claim a Deduction must be lodged with the super fund within the required timeframes. ATO Compliance Considerations Doctors are considered higher‑risk taxpayers due to income levels and deduction profiles. Claims should always be conservative, well‑documented, and clearly linked to the generation of assessable income. Professional advice from an accountant experienced in the medical sector can help ensure compliance while optimising legitimate tax outcomes.
