Business Update \u2013 13 December 2022<\/span><\/h2>\n

Welcome back to our Weekly Digest. Read on for the latest updates and some ideas to help us all move forward.<\/p>\n

NSW builder goes into voluntary administration due to rising costs and pandemic effects<\/span><\/h3>\n

Elderton Homes, a major New South Wales builder, has plunged into administration after catastrophic weather events, the pandemic, and rising materials costs made business too costly<\/a> to continue.<\/p>\n

ABS data shows that payroll jobs are up, and the labour market is still tight<\/span><\/h3>\n

Payroll jobs increased by 0.7 per cent in the month to November 12, indicating tightness in the labour market<\/a> and disruptions from people being sick and the impact of significant weather events.<\/p>\n

Reserve Bank sceptically launches new program to explore digital currency<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Reserve Bank has started a pilot program for a digital eAUD currency<\/a>, but assistant governor Brad Jones is unsure of its role in Australia.<\/p>\n

The gender pay gap didn\u2019t improve at all from last year<\/span><\/h3>\n

The latest data released by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency shows the pay gap remains at 22.8%<\/a>, with women earning $0.77 for every $1 earned by men. In addition, women are under-represented in leadership positions, and seven in 10 employers have pay gaps favouring men.<\/p>\n

Relief is coming to help with high energy bills<\/span><\/h3>\n

Federal and state governments have agreed to cap coal and gas prices and provide additional rebates<\/a> for Australians on low and middle incomes as part of a $1.5bn intervention.<\/p>\n

Aussies are going into debt to buy gifts this season<\/span><\/h3>\n

People increasingly rely on credit<\/a> to fund their holiday spending, with 24 per cent turning to buy-now, pay-later services and 13 per cent using their credit cards.<\/p>\n

Tools for managing cash flow in tough times<\/span><\/h3>\n

The ATO has created a Cash Flow Coaching Kit<\/a> that offers solutions to help manage a range of small business pressures, including less income coming in the door.<\/p>\n

Was your tax refund less than expected?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The ATO has started to offset credits as part of recommencing collection action after a pause due to COVID-19. This may include reactivating debts that have been on hold. Find more details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inflation rate drops just in time for the holidays<\/span><\/h3>\n

Australian inflation fell to 6.9 per cent in October, well below market expectations, due to a significant fall in the costs of fruit and vegetables. The drop has some economists feeling optimistic<\/a> that inflation has peaked sooner than expected.<\/p>\n
