The end of another financial year is fast approaching and as your accountant, we believe part of our client brief is to help you minimise
your tax liability within the framework of the Australian taxation system.
The purpose of this newsletter is to highlight some end of year tax planning opportunities but you need to act quickly and we encourage you
to schedule a meeting as soon as possible to assess your options and the steps you need to take well before the 30th June, 2019.
Please note, this is a pre-Federal Election Guide and things may change after May 18, 2019.
You can download the full copy of the tax planning guide HERE
To assist you we have put together a list of strategies to consider and note:
To maximise benefits for the current financial year, we suggest you prepare a preliminary calculation of your taxable income for the year
ending June 30, 2019 to establish if you have a tax 'problem' and identify the size of your likely tax debt.
Review all tax deductible expenses and assessable income in the latest available figures to determine the possibility of pre-paying some
expenses before June 30 or deferring some revenue until after July 1st.
The following list of tax planning opportunities is certainly not exhaustive and depending on your circumstances (including your
turnover and whether you are on a cash or accruals method of accounting), terms and conditions may apply to some of these tactics. If you
would like to discuss your tax planning options we urge you to contact
us
today and most importantly, don't leave it until the last minute as some of these strategies require some time to implement.
