How not-for-profit organisations can shift from ‘survival mode’ into sustainability
We saw COVID threaten the sustainability for many not-for-profit (NFP) organisations, forcing some to make operational changes or to shut their doors, and others to adapt and drive innovation to achieve their mission. But what does it mean to be a sustainable NFP, and how do these organisations then remain sustainable for years to come?

Electric car FBT exemption expected to soon become reality
Many people are getting excited about the Government’s pre-election promise to exempt electric cars from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) as of 1 July 2022. But before you rush to order your new vehicle, there are a few considerations for you to take into account. While this measure is expected to take effect shortly, there is no legislation for this yet – not even in draft – and parliament’s next sitting days have not been announced. This means any new legislation will no doubt need to be retrospective to have effect from 1 July 2022.

Tax in M&A: M&A transactions and employer obligations – the perfect storm
There have been pressure systems gathering momentum along two fronts. Whilst they have largely gone unnoticed by many in the industry, collisions between the two have occurred and left some casualties in the M&A space. Previously, it was regarded by many deal-makers that employer obligations were quite low in risk. However, multiple enforcement agencies are focusing on unpaid employee entitlements and contract hire labour. The uptick in compliance activity has coincided with growth in the M&A space, leading many to believe there are huge levels of unquantified risk in the market – often not covered by warranty and indemnity insurance.
