ATO

In 2025, GST reporting in Australia takes a sharp turn, even though the 10% GST rate remains unchanged. The ATO is shifting thousands of non-compliant small businesses from quarterly to monthly GST reporting starting 1 April 2025, while large businesses face a redesigned Supplementary Annual GST Return (SAGR). These changes won’t alter the law, but they will impact cash-flow, compliance workloads, and BAS deadlines. Whether you’re a café owner in Cairns or a corporate CFO in Sydney, preparing now for the ATO’s stricter reporting cycle will help you stay compliant, avoid penalties, and protect your working capital.
