Clear Vision News – June 2014

Clear Vision • June 5, 2014

When I started Clear Vision Accountancy Group I wanted to create a new firm that would offer our clients services that went far beyond the traditional. My passion is to offer advice and services that will actually help our clients understand, and interpret their business in order to make enlightened management decisions. A key part of this will be conducting regular free seminars. The new premises has fantastic meeting rooms and enables me to run these seminars here at Taylor Street free of charge. Accountants have a bad reputation for being boring (unfair I think!) so to keep these topics interesting I will be inviting other professional speakers to host. I am happy for you to invite an associate or friend who you think may benefit from the seminar but remember numbers are limited so please RSVP to Nicole as soon as possible. I am also encouraging suggestions for seminar topics. If there is a topic you would like to know more about please let me know. Cheers Justin

Personal Property Security Register (PPSR)
This article was recently forwarded to me from SV Partners. This is an immensely important subject and relevant to so many clients it has been included in this month’s news. SV Partners were appointed liquidators of a company in Jan 2014. The company previously operated a franchise which ceased trading prior to the appointment and owned equipment which we intended to realise. The franchisor claimed to be a secured creditor over the company’s assets, but they registered their security interest on the PPSR incorrectly. Instead of registering it by their Aust. Company Number, they acknowledged they registered it to an Aust. Registered Scheme Number. Had the franchisor correctly registered their security interest of the PPSR, the franchisor could have taken possession of the equipment and deducted the value of it from their outstanding debt. However due to their incorrect registration of their security interest the franchisor had to pay market value of the equipment incurring a loss of approx. $33,000.00. If you are unsure if you have registered any of your equipment correctly contact me today to remedy this.

Running a business isn’t just about making sales — it’s about making enough sales to cover your costs and pay yourself what you deserve. But how do you figure out how much turnover (aka revenue) you actually need to make each month? Knowing this number helps you: Set realistic sales targets Price your products or services properly Know when to cut costs or increase margins Understand when your business is sustainable This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about clarity and control. Once you know your required turnover, you can stop guessing and start planning. Whether you’re a solopreneur, a growing startup, or a small business owner, this is the foundation of making your business work for you — not the other way around. We love numbers — seriously.

From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
