        And dont forget GST cause tax office can see everything now

      • scotty on 11/06/2022 - 18:52

        You will most likely end up paying tax on those $500

        Wouldn't there also be a $500 expense that cancels out the ~$500 revenue?

        • Vater Woods on 11/06/2022 - 18:55

          Unfortunately, there isn't $500($299) expense, as it will be Reimbursed.

          • CandyMan on 11/06/2022 - 19:00

            @Vater Woods: Reimbursed next financial year

            • Vater Woods on 11/06/2022 - 19:04
              +1

              @CandyMan: Then it would work as $299 expense for current year, and GST plus tax on $500.

              Then $299 as pure profit next year, still taxed.

          • scotty on 11/06/2022 - 19:08

            @Vater Woods: $299 is the expense for the terminal, which will be reimbursed in next financial year.

            $500 is the expense for processing your own money, as it can also come out from your business' bank. It generates $500 taxable income (minus $7 fee to Zeller). That cancels out itself so just $7 out of pocket? Wouldn't that be the case?

            • Vater Woods on 11/06/2022 - 19:16

              @scotty: For my experience, ato tracks every cent(EVERY CENT) went through eftpos.

              And when doing tax return and BAS, if reporting figures is lower than the tracked amount, ato will sent a letter to accountant asking the business owner to explain.

              Now, to avoid auditing, accountant will ask you you report honestly, and maybe report slightly higher amount tracked by ato.

              Now, when you want to take off $500, therefore $50 GST aswell plus tax, you will be reporting lower than tracked amount.

              Accountant can force it through(though most accounting firm will refuse to as it a risk), but risking audit.

              Now, you will be asking yourself is it worth it risking audit or just pay the taxes on that $500.

              I am speaking as a micro business manager, where we can't afford any trouble with ato.

              • Switchblade88 on 11/06/2022 - 20:35

                @Vater Woods: The ATO tracks what you submit via your BAS, yes, but I am unaware of any EFTPOS providers (i.e. private businesses) that submit personal information to the ATO along with your transaction details and the like??

                If the ATO wants to audit then they'll go to you as the suspicious business first to explain yourself and submit transaction statements to prove your BAS figures are correct.

                ato tracks every cent(EVERY CENT) went through eftpos.

                I have enough experience with accounting on ATO transactions that I find this statement misleading, unless you have proof otherwise to share.

                • Vater Woods on 11/06/2022 - 21:18

                  @Switchblade88: First hand experience, they provided exact amounts(including 61 cents) through two eftpos to me and ask me to explain.

                  You are more welcome to try it, you will be surprised how much ato know about you.

  • ForTheGreaterGood on 11/06/2022 - 18:01

    For those comparing, a big difference between Square and Zeller is that Zeller does not yet have options for keyed-in card transactions, payment links or ecommerce.

    • stickyfingers on 11/06/2022 - 18:07
      +8

      They do support keyed in transactions. It’s listed as MOTO transactions.

    • omguleh on 11/06/2022 - 20:39

      It’s called MOTO on the terminal, there’s a toggle in the settings to enable it or not.

      As a dumb terminal like the ones from a bank it’s a decent unit.

      Usability compared to my iPad + Shopify machine it can’t compare.

    FYI, our business has been using this for a few months - after one month, we called up and renegotiated the rate down by 0.4% due to our sale figures.

      Let's work it out. Save 0.3%, spend $29.50. You'd need a monthly turnover of more than $9833.

      • CandyMan on 12/06/2022 - 09:48

        Exactly, this is ozbargain. If your turnover is more than $9833 you can save at least a few cents:)

  • [Deactivated] on 11/06/2022 - 19:02

    If your sales volume is high enough to offset $29.50/m terminal fee, they will match or beat it as well.

    Bank terminal fee model is nothing but disguised rip-off.

  • Hoborg on 11/06/2022 - 20:41

    Smartpay… much better offer.
    Particularly this one, for those that have reasonable volumes: https://www.smartpay.com.au/eftpos-solutions/zero-cost-eftpo…

    • team teri on 12/06/2022 - 10:34

      The best way to piss off customers. If I don't know before a transaction that a surcharge applies, and am slugged with one, I will not return to that business ever.

      14.1 Smartcharge and Surcharge. If you have purchased the Smartcharge product, then in respect of all Transactions processed by you, an
      amount will be charged in addition to the price of the goods and services. This amount is referred to as a “Surcharge”. We process and
      collect the Surcharge and we credit it against the fees that we charge to you.

      With payment processing possible as cheap as this Zeller offer I'd expect businesses to cover the cost, which in most cases will be more than offset by the savings of not having to handle cash.

    • ozbargainerlife1 on 17/06/2022 - 20:12

      Do you know what they charge? They don't say much on website

      • Hoborg on 18/06/2022 - 13:16

        Smart charge product passes the surcharge into customers

        The other product I don't have recent rates for, so don't want to misquote it

        Their sales team are quite good. Might be worth giving them a call

    • vinnychase on 12/06/2022 - 10:30

      you need ABN and need to pay taxes on revenue.

      • spaceflight on 12/06/2022 - 11:28

        You pay taxes on profit not revenue

        • vinnychase on 12/06/2022 - 15:37

          Perfect so you just need to show that the costs incurred are greater than the revenue.

    QR codes are so much cheaper. Wonder why it's not popualr use

    • Switchblade88 on 12/06/2022 - 13:58

      QR codes are only visual hyperlinks. You need a bank API that interfaces with both the sender and receiver to display a secure website or similar with the appropriate transfer details, none of which has ever been available in Australia.

    • dizzle on 12/06/2022 - 17:43
      +2

      Because using a card that you just tap or insert is easier.

      I saw a QR code system at a Bunnings sausage sizzle a couple of weeks ago, where people not paying in cash has to use the QR code (sent to a payment site with the payee details already in there, you selected the menu and payment method). There was a queue of around 20 people using the system taking them a couple of minutes to do it even with two staff members helping them through it.

      Personally I understand how easy it is, and skipped the queue because I had already done it at the start. But compared to tap and pay, it doesn't compare

  • aussieboozer on 13/06/2022 - 14:37

    Zeller is a good deal for a no contract EFTPOS machine if you only need it for occasional use such as weekend market stall. The last time I had a bank terminal it cost $29 per month rental plus minimum of $20 per month in transaction fees at 1.2% + GST and the initial setup fee was $100. Considering the likes of ALDI supermarkets pay around 0.5% for Visa/Mastercard I can’t see a small business getting anywhere near that rate!

    • THICKnSLOW on 13/06/2022 - 19:11
      +1

      Yes a bank EFTPOS terminal will set a business back at a minumum $600 a year regardless of how many transactions are made. And that's for a fixed terminal, mobile terminals cost even more.

      Whereas with this offer, once $500 in transactions made before 15th July the $299 is refunded, and no monthly or yearly rental minimum transaction fees or account keeping fees, making this a zero cost (apart from the transaction fees) payment method. This connects to WIFI hotspot or if you provide a sim so you can take it with you.

      Zeller never meant for this to be targeted at large multinationals like ALDI supermarket, you can see it on their website, so the comparison is moot.

  • jwsc on 13/06/2022 - 19:24

    hmm can I use this for a hobby weekend stall i.e. no ABN then just use my HSBC 2% cashback card to cover the difference?

    • cheapass88 on 16/06/2022 - 15:47

      interesting, can you just make $2500 purchases with your HSBC card to gain 0.6% per month?

  • Starlord on 19/06/2022 - 19:47

    After buying the terminal and making a transaction, they have contacted me to ask for so much personal business information including business account statements. Seems very strange and fishy.
    I have been using square for a long time now. Never had such a weird request for information.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/06/2022 - 18:53

      The same here. Well they said they will release the fund 90 days later if I don't provide any of the details they are asking so might just wait then sell the terminal and call it done.

      • Starlord on 20/06/2022 - 21:54

        Can't you return it?
        Did u discuss this with a Zeller rep?
        I'll call them tomorrow because all this seems BS to me. They should've asked for all the details before activating my Zeller account.

          Nop - didn't want to spend any time on this as it's small enough money that I don't mind getting 90 days later.

          Yeah exactly, they should determine the risk level during the sign up process and tell the user about t&c. I recall stripe does that so they delay the payment a few days if the risk level deemed high then reduce it after building up some history.

    • dbglt on 24/06/2022 - 14:19

      Any sign of your $299 yet? Today is the 9th business day and I haven't received anything as yet.

        not yet, i'm not sure if they're going to reverse the charge on the payment or credit my zeller account.
        Let me know when you get it!

          It said in the email that they'd deposit it to your linked bank account. I've got my business account linked and have been checking every day. Will let you know what happens next!
