money money money · your tax questions answered: what to do before 30 June · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

We have seen just over the last tax year, 2025, probably September, like you mentioned, they are starting to come out a bit quicker.

But some of the ones, especially if they're international shares or ETFs, sometimes they can take a little bit longer as well.

So, yeah, waiting that little bit of time can make sure that you pick everything up.

Obviously, you've got interest as well, which is pre-filled.

The banks, again, they're getting away quicker than they used to be.

But sometimes some of those other banks, I think –

Maybe Eubank sometimes takes a little bit longer, just off the top of my head.

But again, with everything becoming electronic, they're probably getting quicker and quicker.

I think a lot of people that come to us from other accountants that might just be your shopping center type of accountant, they wouldn't have asked the client many questions.

They just slap it together with whatever you bring in.

And I think if you're paying an accountant that is either getting annoyed that you haven't got everything there in the meeting, in the one appointment, and not sending your way to get stuff after, they're probably not doing a complete service.

Motor vehicle expenses, home office as well, the hours that you're working at home, especially obviously COVID was a bit, you know, a while ago now, but it definitely is something that people miss.

Headphones, electronics, stuff like that, that people haven't really thought about claiming for their home office.

So, yeah.

They're probably the things, yeah, off the top of my head that people might miss.

So with the home office, we generally could do the hours method.

It tends to work out better, especially because if you're not seeing clients in your home and you're not actually running an office, you can't claim your council rates or your interest or a lot of the other expenses.

You can only use the electricity, the gas, and it has to be apportioned based on the floor space of the home office, which

A lot of people, their home office isn't going to be more than 5% of their home.
