Brentnalls Affiliation Charity - Proudly supporting Good Shepherd Charity

CoggerGurry is a proud member of the Brentnalls Affiliation consisting of independent firms working together to help each other be better. We are thrilled to announce that the Brentnalls Affiliation has raised an inspiring $6,014 to support women in need.

Through a combination of individual firm initiatives and an affiliation-wide raffle featuring two exclusive Jasmine Mansbridge prints donated by the artist herself, we have joined forces to make a meaningful contribution to Good Shepherd which is Australia’s oldest and longest-running not-for-profit that specifically supports women, girls and families.

Our commitment to empowering women finds a perfect match in Good Sheppard’s mission. The funds raised will directly support their programs, providing assistance to women facing family violence, education and employment issues and requiring pathways out of homelessness.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all participating member firms for showcasing the power of collective generosity. Together, we're proving that unity can drive positive change and create brighter futures.

End-of-year Finalisation Through Single Touch Payroll (STP)

By Cogger Gurry • July 11, 2025

If you have paid wages to employees in the 2025 financial year you will need to make a finalisation declaration by 14 July 2025 to ensure your employees can access their finalised information to complete their tax return. When you have reported and finalised your employees' information through STP, you are exempt from: providing payment summaries to your employees lodging a payment summary annual report. For payments to your employees that were not reported through STP, you still need to: give a payment summary to your employees provide the ATO with a payment summary annual report for these payment summaries. For small employers (19 or fewer employees) who only have closely held payees, the due date for end-of-year STP finalisation is the payee's tax return due date.
