The Tax Office today reminded businesses that June quarterly activity statements and super contributions are due by Monday, 28 July 2008.
ACTIVITY STATEMENTS:
Deputy Commissioner Geoff Robinson said the quickest, easiest and most secure way to lodge activity statements and pay any amounts owing is using the online business portal.
“Businesses may be eligible for a two week extension on their activity statement if they lodge and pay online.
“If you are concerned that you may not be able to meet the deadline or pay your total tax debt, contact the Tax Office as soon as possible on 13 28 66.
“We will work with you to put in place a suitable payment arrangement to help you meet your obligations,” Mr Robinson said
SUPERANNUATION GUARANTEE:
Employers must also pay all super contributions for the June quarter by Monday, 28 July 2008.
“Any employer who fails to meet the deadline must lodge a superannuation guarantee quarterly statement and pay the super guarantee charge to the Tax Office.
“Remember that if an employee made a choice of super fund, their super contributions must be paid to that chosen fund,” Mr Robinson said.
The Tax Office also reminded businesses that from 1 July 2008 they must use ordinary time earnings to calculate super guarantee contributions for their employees.
