Boyce Management Guidelines: Coronavirus

17 March 2020

As part of the Boyce response to COVID-19 we are implementing some changes to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our team and clients. We will continue to monitor the situation and continue to provide updates.

At this stage our Boyce offices will remain open and your Boyce Director and Boyce contact will be available if you have any concerns or questions.

Boyce are committed to providing our normal service standards for you. A small change we can foresee at this point relates to face to face client meetings. For the next few weeks we may consider alternative means of meeting either a phone hook-up or electronic means. If however a face to face meeting is required your Boyce Director can discuss and arrange with you.

In terms of our team and so you are aware, we will limit travel between offices and we will limit all unnecessary domestic flights. All of our team members that have travelled back from overseas will self-isolate per the Australian Government Guidelines. Some of our team are working from home.

We also have some high risk team members who will be self-isolating for the next few weeks.

We will continue to keep you updated on any changes and please feel free to contact myself or your Boyce Director.

Bushfire Assistance: Lodgment and Payment Deferrals

25 February 2020

The ATO has announced that deferrals for lodgement and payment for BAS for taxpayers affected by the bushfires will be automatically applied. If you’ve been preparing your BAS and noticed your due date is now 28 May 2020, this is why.

The list of affected area postcodes can be found 
here and will be added to as required. If you’re not in an affected area postcode, the ATO have asked that you call the Emergency Support Infoline on 1800 806 218 so they can try to assist.

Please keep in mind, the ATO has specifically reminded employers that they still need to meet their ongoing superannuation guarantee obligations and that these deferrals do not apply to large pay as you go withholders.

Now is a great time to check that your ABN details and information are up to date as this information is used by Emergency Services and other government agencies to assist during times of natural disaster as well as identifying where financial relief is needed.
