The Obligations Trades Actually Get Caught By
Most bookkeeping content is written for businesses in general. These guides are not. They cover the specific obligations that apply to building, construction and trade businesses operating in Victoria, which are the ones we spend most of our time explaining to new clients.
Payroll Tax Support For Australian Businesses
Every guide here is written from the work we do, not from a template. Where an obligation involves a contribution rate, a threshold or an entitlement period, we tell you where to confirm the current figure rather than quoting one, because those change and a number that was right last year is worse than no number at all.
Available Guides
TPAR for Victorian Trades
Who has to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report, what counts as a building and construction service, what has to be captured for every contractor you pay, and why the work has to happen through the year rather than in August.
LeavePlus and Incolink Explained
The two schemes that catch Victorian construction employers out most often. What each one is, which businesses they apply to, what you have to lodge and when, and how they differ from ordinary long service leave and redundancy.
Who These Are For
If you run a building company, a plumbing, electrical, concreting or HVAC business, or you subcontract on commercial sites in Victoria, at least one of these will apply to you. If you are not sure which, that is usually the first thing we work out when we take on a new trade client.
Key benefits
- Written for Victorian trades: Not general small business content adapted after the fact.
- No unverified figures: We point you to the scheme for current rates rather than quoting one.
- From actual client work: These are the questions we answer most often.
Why choose us?
- Need help applying this? We handle these obligations for trade and construction clients across Melbourne.
- Not sure what applies to you? Tell us what work you do and where, and we will tell you which schemes catch you.
Why These Guides Exist
These cover the obligations that generic bookkeeping advice tends to skip, because they only apply to construction, or only apply in Victoria, or both. They are written to be read by the person running the business rather than by their accountant, and they are the questions we get asked most often in first conversations.

Engaging the services of Fiona and her team at Navigata365 at the beginning of COVID was the best thing we could have done. Fiona has guided our 2 businesses through some really tough times and has recently helped us set up a 3rd business. She is always on top of deadlines and we never have to worry about a thing. I cannot recommend highly enough.

It is a great pleasure to provide a review of Fiona Battersby and her business Navigata365. We have worked together for approx 5 years and during that time our bookkeeping has been carried out brilliantly. We have benefited from very good advice from Fiona about managing our accounts. It is rare to get a bookkeeping business with the level of service and competence that Fionas staff consistently provide. A big thumbs up from Us!!
