Division 296 Tax Update
Cogger Gurry • August 29, 2025
Parliament has resumed, and we are watching closely for the introduction of the Division 296 tax Bill to the lower house.
While the Government is managing a number of priorities, the extra time provides us with the opportunity to continue planning with clients who may be affected and to ensure we are ready when the legislation is finalised.
Although no update has been given on whether the 1 July 2025 start date will be deferred, we’ll keep you informed as soon as there is more clarity.
In the meantime, rest assured that we are monitoring developments carefully and will provide guidance and advice as soon as the position becomes clearer.
If you've driven past our office recently, you may have noticed some changes underway! We're excited to share that installation of our new Brentnalls Western Victoria signage has commenced. Like many outdoor projects, the recent weather has caused a few delays, but we're looking forward to seeing the finished result once the weather improves! The rebrand represents an exciting new chapter for our firm, while maintaining the same trusted team, local knowledge and commitment to supporting our clients. We think it will be well worth the wait!
Team Fundraiser for The Shaka Project Recently, our team came together for a fundraising morning tea in support of The Shaka Project , an organisation dedicated to promoting positive mental health, wellbeing and meaningful conversations within our communities. It was wonderful to see staff get behind the cause, enjoy some great food, and contribute to an important initiative that aligns closely with our commitment to supporting wellbeing both in and outside the workplace. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make the morning a success. For more information on The Shaka Project head to their website here 
Over the past few months we've celebrated a number of team birthdays at Brentnalls Western Victoria. A belated happy birthday to Andrew, Chris, Bec, Chloe, Toni, Sam and Michael ("Pechy") ! We hope you each enjoyed celebrating your special day with family and friends. Thank you for everything you do for our clients, our team and our communities. We wish you all the very best for the year ahead.
