Tax Planning FAQs

Tax planning should be completed every year and can be done all year round. For many businesses, tax planning strategies are often implemented in the months leading up to the end of financial year.

Tax planning will help you avoid the unpleasant surprises of tax bills. It will ensure you have adequate savings in place to pay any liabilities and can ultimately save you money by minimising your tax payable.

There are many different tax planning strategies which may help your business minimise its tax bill. Some of these strategies include: bringing forward and pre-paying regular business expenses, delaying your invoices until after the 30th June, utilising a low superannuation tax environment by contributing personal super contributions (be mindful of the contributions caps), writing off certain assets for the instant asset write-off and reviewing and writing off bad debts before the 30th June.

A tax plan can be included into your monthly or annual fees. Please get in touch with our accounting team to receive a price tailored to the needs of your business.
