Are you keeping your receipts for long enough?
An Adelaide operator of a number of massage parlours said he was "too busy and lazy" to keep proper records, and was penalised $43,200 for contraventions of record-keeping and pay slip laws, following legal action by the Fair Work Ombudsman.
The ATO, along with other Government Bodies, requires you to keep records for a minimum of five years. Some of the records required include:
- Invoices and receipts for sales or services provided by your business, or purchased by your business
- Records of payments to employees, including payments to other organisations on their behalf like Superfunds and PAYG tax
- All financial statements, including balance sheets and profit and loss statements
- Tax return information
- Bank accounts, and credit card statements
- Stocktake records, asset registers etc
