The Christmas and January cash flow checklist
December is busy, January is quiet, and the February BAS is waiting. This two-page checklist walks Brisbane and South East Queensland business owners through the break: forecast, debtors, wages and leave, Payday Super, tax dates, FBT on parties and gifts, and the bank.

What’s inside
- See the gap before it arrives: a 13-week forecast to the end of January.
- Bring cash in earlier: invoicing, debtor calls and progress claims before customers close.
- Wages, leave and super: shutdown leave rules and the Payday Super 7 business day timeframe.
- Tax: setting GST and PAYG aside, and the 28 February 2027 BAS date.
- Parties and gifts: the FBT rules in plain English.
- Talk to the bank early, with numbers.
- Plan the first week back.
