As the holiday season approaches, business owners have plenty to manage. In this issue, we’ve compiled a range of updates and resources to help you navigate end-of-year challenges. If you’re planning a staff celebration, be mindful of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) to ensure your event doesn’t trigger unexpected costs.
We’ve also included expert advice on safeguarding your business from holiday cyber scams, and details of Beyond Blue’s free mental health coaching program for small business owners. You can also learn about the Fair Work Commission’s review of minimum standards for contractors and employee-like workers in the transport industry.
