As we move into the second half of the year, the pressures on our industry continue to evolve. Across the regions, we’re seeing new opportunities but also ongoing challenges for builders, contractors and small business owners.
Staying informed remains as important as ever.
In this edition of Regional News, we highlight some key issues. For members taking on incomplete projects, it’s critical to understand the risks and how best to prepare. We also cover the increasingly common Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity — make sure you’re across when and how it applies.
Finally, the Australian Taxation Office has stepped up its compliance activity in the residential building sector, with particular focus on GST reporting, underreported income and deductions. It’s a timely reminder to review your financial obligations.
As always, HIA is here to support you. Don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist.
