Gold Coast Brentnalls Conference

CoggerGurry • April 4, 2023

In early March we attended our bi-annual Brentnalls Conference – this time at the Sheraton Mirage on the Gold Coast. It has been great having time to properly reconnect with friends and colleagues over the past 18 months after two years of COVID disruption.


The Brentnall’s Network is a group of likeminded business owners with Practices located in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Auckland and Hamilton. Each Practice is quite different in the customers they work with, however we all have similar issues to navigate so it is always a fantastic opportunity to be able to share ideas, experiences and help each other out.


The CoggerGurry team is heavily invested in the ongoing success of Brentnalls. Kieran Neeson attended his first conference having just completed an emerging leaders course with participants from each of the other Practices. Toni Wright played an integral role in the launch of our Women in Brentnall’s initiative, Michael Fitzpatrick has just completed a term as chair of the Tax Group, and l am about to commence a two year term as chair of the Affiliation.


As l have said on other occasions, our involvement with Brentnalls provides opportunities for our staff, and access to networks and resources that would be very difficult for other Practices in a regional location to replicate.


I look forward to providing you with an update from our next Conference – scheduled for Queenstown in September.

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.
