Notes

Key decisions made: Confirmed GST on the new drill set was valid as it was under the threshold for motor vehicles but was a standard tool purchase. Verified PAYG withholding against Single Touch Payroll (STP) data to ensure compliance. Fuel tax credit claim required manual calculation to ensure the road user charge was excluded, as the ute is over 4.5 tonnes.
