    Reviewed every finding from the 2 November sweep against the live ATO pages on 2 November 2026.

    Changed pages

    Page Verdict
    Registering for GST No citing change. The ATO removed an over-broad 'sharing economy or digital platforms' bullet from its must-register list; no citing file stated it, and the thresholds and the taxi and ride-sourcing rule are unchanged.
    STP Phase 2 income types Breadcrumb lines only. No change.
    What is a non-commercial loss Typo fix. No change.
    Changes to credit card payments Cutoff now 30 June 2027; question 6 already says so (#464).
    Employer registration for working holiday makers Breadcrumb lines only. No change.
    Your tax return; Check the progress of your tax return Now 10 business days, not 12. Question 8 updated in #488; it notes that the ATO's How to lodge your tax return page still says 12 for myTax.
    Business days decoded (super funds newsroom) Withdrawn (redirects to the newsroom index). payday-super-checker's August review now cites the ATO's Payment deadlines for Payday Super instead: ryanduguid/australian-accounting#539.

    Not real findings

    The 8 dead links and the /rates redirect were test fixtures (#483). The partnership PDF that could not be read was an ATO connection fault; a retry the same morning returned HTTP 200 with an unchanged hash.
