This month we cover several practical updates that will matter for businesses and individuals as we head towards the financial year-end. The ATO’s revised EV home-charging rate delivers more generous deductions for work-related car claims and can impact on FBT calculations too. The Federal Government has also released targeted tax relief to help businesses hit by Middle East–driven fuel disruptions, with new flexibility around payment plans, interest remissions and compliance activity. We look at the ATO’s new “verify call” feature, a simple but powerful tool that lets you instantly confirm whether an ATO caller is genuine — a major safeguard as scam activity peaks. Finally, we outline the upcoming increases to superannuation contribution caps from 1 July 2026 and what they mean for optimising concessional and non-concessional contribution strategies.
