Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start tax planning?
Tax planning should ideally happen throughout the year—not just in June. Early planning allows for smarter structuring, better timing, and more tax-saving opportunities.
Is tax planning only for large businesses or high-income earners?
No. Individuals, sole traders, and small businesses can all benefit from tax planning, often even more so, as small adjustments can lead to significant savings.
How does tax planning relate to superannuation?
Tax-deductible super contributions can reduce your taxable income. We also help with SMSF strategies that support both retirement goals and tax efficiency.
What records do I need to bring for tax planning?
Bring your most recent tax return, financial reports (P&L, balance sheet), and details of any planned investments or asset sales.
I run multiple businesses. Can you help structure them better?
Yes. We’ll review your entities, assess risks, and recommend a structure that balances tax outcomes, liability protection, and growth potential.
Can tax planning help with capital gains tax (CGT)?
Yes. Timing the sale of assets, applying exemptions, and structuring ownership can all reduce the impact of CGT.
