Two Key Points 📌

1. One of the most frequent issues is not having the right access to ATO digital services. Businesses must ensure they’re set up with myID or a linked myGov account via the Relationship Authorisation Manager. Sole traders can continue using their personal myGov accounts to lodge directly.

The ATO also urged businesses to double-check that all forms of income are declared – including goods or services received through barter or in-kind arrangements. It's also important to accurately record business losses and separate them from non-commercial losses, which are treated differently under tax law.

As always, the ATO’s message is simple: get your books in order early and avoid unnecessary stress at tax time.

2. The industrial sector continues to lead the way, supported by strong tenant demand and limited supply. It has now recorded two consecutive quarters of growth, with total returns reaching 3.3%. Retail property is also on more stable footing, driven by higher foot traffic from returning international visitors, students and office workers.

While office sector returns remain in negative territory, key indicators suggest conditions are no longer deteriorating. Vacancy rates have stopped rising, demand is strengthening for high-quality, well-located space and capital value declines are beginning to ease.
