FAQ's
Do I have to pay superannuation to subcontractors?
Are you paying Sole Traders for contract labour hire? There may be an obligation to pay them superannuation. Some of the key points to consider:
Did they quote by the hour or a fixed price for the job?
Do you require them to complete the work themselves or do they have the option to delegate the work?
If they quoted by the hour and didn’t have the option to delegate the work there is most likely a superannuation obligation. If so, this must be paid directly to their selected super fund (not to the sub-contractor). Ask your bookkeeper for guidance if you’re unsure.
I entered my income & purchases and my accountant lodges my bas. What else is there to do?
It’s really important to have this conversation with your accountant. What exactly is covered in their fee? Unless you have your own bookkeeper and you’re confident all the data has been recorded correctly and reconciled (not only your bank accounts but also your balance sheet accounts), are you sure your accountant is receiving and lodging the correct information? Check what is included in their fees in detail. Is there a missing piece in the puzzle that could be costing your business $$$$?
Why should I have a separate bank account for business and personal use?
If you’re using your business bank account for daily purchases than either you or your bookkeeper is spending time entering and coding these transactions. All of your personal expenses are coded to directors’ loan account, drawings account or similar (whichever the account is titled, the outcome is the same). This wasting your own time or you’re paying someone else to do this and put simply, it’s just not necessary because it’s not business-related. Keep these transactions separate to your business. Save your valuable time or money. Instead, if you want to draw funds why not set up a recurring transfer for a set amount to your personal account? You can even set up a bank rule so it reconciles itself each time. No time wasted!
