Series 2 of our WALGA Tax Service Training Schedule for 2026 is now open for registration, so book your place now to avoid missing out. Each webinar will be a 1 hour online session dedicated to the specific topic of interest hosted by the specialists at our WALGA tax team you know and trust. The topics aim to give participants the awareness of the tax issues impacting the topics, running through practical examples relevant to local government, as well as common themes and topic tips. The topics for this series of webinars are as follows:

Fuel Tax Credits: Getting It Right

Fuel Tax Credits remain one of the most valuable yet underclaimed tax concessions available to local governments. With increasing scrutiny from the ATO and growing complexity around fuel usage, record keeping and substantiation, it is more important than ever to understand what can be claimed and why.
 
This practical webinar will explore common local government scenarios, help you identify claiming opportunities and walk through the processes required to support and defend your claims. Whether you prepare the BAS or simply want to better understand your organisation's Fuel Tax Credit position, this session will provide practical guidance you can immediately apply.
 
Topics covered:

• What activities qualify for Fuel Tax Credits
• Common local government claiming opportunities
• Record keeping and substantiation requirements
• Preparing and reviewing Fuel Tax Credit claims
• Common mistakes and audit risks
• Practical examples and case studies

Preparing a BAS with Confidence

Preparing a Business Activity Statement can feel like a routine task, but even small errors can result in penalties, interest charges and missed opportunities. With obligations spanning GST, PAYG withholding, Fuel Tax Credits and FBT instalments, understanding the "why" behind each label is just as important as knowing what figures to enter.
 
This hands-on webinar will walk attendees through the BAS preparation process using practical examples and common local government transactions. We will discuss common errors, review techniques and reconciliation processes to help improve confidence and accuracy in BAS preparation.
 
Topics covered:

• Understanding BAS labels
• GST reporting and adjustments
• PAYG withholding obligations
• Fuel Tax Credit reporting
• FBT instalment reporting
• Reconciliations and review procedures
• Common BAS errors and how to avoid them

Understanding Allowances: PAYG and Superannuation

Allowances are one of the most misunderstood areas of payroll compliance. Questions frequently arise around withholding requirements, superannuation obligations and reporting through payroll systems, with incorrect treatment potentially leading to compliance issues and employee disputes.
 
This webinar will provide a practical overview of the most common allowances encountered by local governments and explain how they should be treated for PAYG withholding and superannuation guarantee purposes. Using real-world scenarios, attendees will gain greater confidence in managing allowances correctly and reducing payroll risk.
 
Topics covered:

• Common allowances paid by local governments
• PAYG withholding requirements
• Superannuation implications
• Distinguishing allowances from reimbursements
• Payroll reporting considerations
• Practical examples and common mistakes

FBT Tips, Traps and Practical Solutions

Fringe Benefits Tax continues to be one of the most complex and frequently misunderstood areas of taxation for employers. New exemptions, evolving ATO guidance and changing work practices mean that yesterday's approach may no longer be enough to manage FBT risk effectively.
 
This session focuses on the practical issues that commonly arise within local governments, highlighting areas where organisations often overpay FBT, fail to identify liabilities or miss available concessions. Through practical examples and recent developments, attendees will gain actionable insights to improve compliance and reduce risk before the end of the FBT year
 
Topics covered:

• Common FBT problem areas
• Recent FBT developments and ATO focus areas
• Vehicles, electric vehicles and travel benefits
• Entertainment, gifts and staff events
• Salary packaging opportunities and pitfalls
• Record keeping and substantiation requirements
• Practical examples, tips and traps
