Last update: 12 hours agoATO Payment Reprieve: After a backlash from small businesses, the government will fund the ATO’s card-processing costs so it can keep accepting credit card tax payments until 30 June 2027. The delay gives businesses more time, but does not settle the wider dispute over card surcharges. Surcharge Costs: Cafes and other small operators say they still face hefty merchant fees under the new surcharge rules. Some are absorbing the costs, nudging prices up or encouraging customers to pay cash. Regional Tourism: Western Australia’s small town of Nannup hosted the Gravel World Championships, drawing thousands of competitors and spectators and putting the South West’s trails and businesses before a global audience. Solar Incentives: A federal scheme that helps cut the upfront cost of rooftop solar has been extended to larger systems on corporate premises, potentially widening access for businesses.
