How To Download your CSV Files
Posted by Millie Slater on
We use Xero.
Xero gets its data directly from the bank in the form of “Bank Feeds”. Xero gets the digital form of exactly what you get if you receive a paper bank statement through the mail.
Getting this data digitally to Xero is quicker for our clients because we don’t have to enter the data into a computer by hand from a bank statement. Saves hands and saves trees. The one downside is that we can only get data going forward in time. That means past data either has to be entered by hand or the data is sourced from internet banking. This is is where we need you to help because only you have access to your online banking.

Should I Deregister from GST?
Posted by Brett Slater on
QUESTION: I’m a contractor or consultant but I'm now employed. Should I deregister from GST?
ANSWER: The short answer is NO. At least not yet.
Registering and de-registering from GST add time and/or costs, so you don’t want to be jumping in and out of this decision on a whim. Give it some time. A new job as a contractor or consultant and the paid holidays, public holidays and sick days look good and regular. But the trouble with the grass being greener is that someone still has to mow and fertilise the lawns, and most times that gardener is you! Being your own boss does give you freedom and control. However it's important to let the dust settle and decide what your long term views and wants are. As long as you're technically available to take contract work or unsure of the long-term then its fine to stay registered for GST and keep filing returns.
