PVW in the news 📰

Townsville business confidence has dipped as companies grapple with uncertainty, inflation and staff shortages, but there are plenty of reasons for optimism. 📉 Find out why. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3WtsUv6

Fantastic news. These results signal strong momentum and exciting opportunities ahead for Territory businesses.

The softer confidence largely stems from an expected decline in sales and consumer demand. At the time of the survey, uncertainty surrounding Glencore’s future, along with the pending Townsville mayoral by-election, may have contributed to a more cautious outlook among local businesses.

Despite some caution, the region’s long-term outlook remains resilient, supported by ongoing investment and the community’s proven ability to adapt to changing economic conditions. Businesses are also anticipating a healthy uptick in spending on travel and entertainment in the lead-up to Christmas, signalling underlying optimism for the hospitality sector.

📢 Big Superannuation Update!

On Monday at a packed press conference, Treasurer Jim Chalmers announced key changes to the Division 296 tax:

✅ It will only apply to future realised earnings (not unrealised earnings as originally proposed)
✅ The $3 million threshold will now be indexed
✅ A new $10 million threshold (also indexed) will be introduced, with earnings above that taxed at 40%
✅ Implementation delayed by a year; now starting July 2026
✅ The tax will also apply to defined benefit pensions for fairness across the board

And some good news for lower-income earners
The Low-Income Superannuation Tax Offset (LISTO) will rise from $500 to $810, with the eligibility threshold increasing from $37,000 to $45,000.

Great news for super holders and investors alike!

🥑 Avocados, agriculture, and amazing connections!

Greg, Rachel, and Caitlin joined over 90 businesses at the inaugural NQ Avocado & Hort Industry ‘Show Day’ in Tolga last week - a fantastic showcase featuring everything from innovative suppliers to large-scale agricultural machinery.

The event was a great opportunity for our PVW team to reconnect with valued clients and meet plenty of new faces across the industry.

💡 Fun fact: Avocados actually pack more potassium than bananas - just another reason they’re so good for you!

During the September school holidays, our Townsville office was buzzing with fresh energy as we welcomed three keen high school students for an immersive three-day work experience program.

They didn’t just crunch numbers, they got a real taste of life in public accounting. From collaborating with our Tax & Accounting, Business Advisory, and Financial Management teams to shadowing our incredible Team Assistants, they saw firsthand how dynamic, fast-paced, and people-focused this profession truly is.

Each student left with new insights, valuable connections, and a clearer picture of the exciting career pathways available at PVW Partners.

Know a student who’d love to experience the world of accounting and business firsthand? Encourage them to apply via our online form - spots are limited and fill fast!
