At Saward Dawson, we are acutely aware of the importance of those who work in our communities and the benefits they provide. We are proud to work with organisations that operate in the community services space.
Community service organisations promote, provide or carry out activities, facilities or projects for the benefit or welfare of the community or any members who have a particular need by reason of youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social or economic circumstances.
Given the changing nature of the community services sectors, we provide remuneration services advice and, with our years of experience, we can help you keep up to date with the Social and Community Services Award adjustments that occur twice-yearly as well as ensure appropriate access and management of fringe benefits tax concessions.
Along with comprehensive audit services, we are proud to offer advice about accounting for Government funding and grants. We also offer acquittals for such funding as part of our audit process.
We provide advice and guidance regarding the financial implications of the regulatory or funding changes including the newly introduced Portable Long Service Leave Scheme. We are able to advise employers about registration and associated returns, as well as the effects the scheme has on your financial reporting, and whether the recent updates to the statutory regulations apply to you.
At Saward Dawson, we understand that navigating the complexities of tax obligations is a crucial part of managing a community service organisation. Our tax services are designed to assist you in meeting your responsibilities while maximising available benefits, including tax exemptions and concessions. We offer advice on the application of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) concessions and implementing tax effective salary packages for staff. Our experienced team can guide you through the process of obtaining the various tax concessions and keep you informed of any legislative changes that may impact your organisation’s tax obligations.
We would be pleased to speak with you about how we can help your community service organisation.
If you have any questions please contact our Community Service specialist Jeff Tulk.
Saward Dawson acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
