Minimise tax by discussing your options with us.

No one wants to pay more tax than they have to. No matter what your circumstances, chances are there is some tax minimisation options for you to consider. Possibly a business restructure, or a geared investment, for example.

Our mantra is to start implementing tax strategies in July at the start of the financial year, and revisit for tax planning before June.  At the end we assess your tax position, implement devices to improve it, and work with you to adjust them as your circumstances change.

It is very important that you take charge of your financial affairs well in advance of tax time, and save yourself hard earned dollars in tax. These savings can be redirected to your investments, improving your wealth position over time.

Don’t get caught out on FBT.

If your business provides benefits to employees such as meals and entertainment, or access to a motor vehicle for private use, or perhaps employee discounts, you are required to be registered for fringe benefits tax, and to lodge an annual fringe benefits tax return.

Fringe benefits tax is an expensive tax, and an FBT audit on prior years of non-declaration by employers who provide fringe benefits to employees can lead to extreme penalties.

If you are unsure whether benefits provided to employees by your business are subject to fringe benefits tax and the impact this may have, we are here to help clarify and rectify this for you.

Don’t get caught out on FBT.

Get it right the first time around.

Monthly and quarterly GST and Payroll obligations come around fast. Non compliance and failure to meet ATO deadline penalties are applied at the same speed! The ATO is very strict in this area.

Deadlines matter, but equally important is accuracy of content. We cannot assume that because a GST report has been produced by accounting software that the figures are correct. Most certainly we cannot assume that the work of an external bookkeeper is correct. A thorough review of your business books and adjustment of errors is required before preparation of IAS, BAS and GST Returns.

We offer high quality BAS, IAS and GST Return preparation, reconciliation, revision and lodgement services. We also provide training in this area.

Avoid unnecessary ATO attention surrounding monthly and quarterly lodgements. Get it right the first time around.
