Common questions
It depends on the working arrangement, not just what the invoice says, control, who supplies tools, whether they can delegate, and how they're paid all matter. Getting it wrong risks back-paid super and penalties. We assess each arrangement and set up compliant processes so you're covered.
If you're in building and construction and pay contractors, almost certainly yes, it's due 28 August each year. We pull it straight from your accounting file so it's a non-event rather than a scramble.
If we don't make your financial life simpler, we part ways. No lock-in contracts, no risk.
