Tax planning

Plan ahead. Pay less. Legally.

Tax planning is what happens before 30 June — not after. We map your position early, model the options, and show you exactly what each decision saves you.

A typical planning session covers:

  • Estimated tax position for the year
  • Timing of income and deductible spend
  • Superannuation contribution strategy
  • Business structure and asset protection
  • Cash set-aside plan so tax never stings

What's included

Strategy that shows up on your bottom line.

Year-end tax projection

We forecast your taxable income well before June so there are no nasty surprises in October.

Deduction strategy

Instant asset write-offs, prepayments and timing decisions applied to your actual numbers.

Superannuation planning

Concessional caps, carry-forward contributions and the paperwork to make them count.

Structure review

Sole trader, company, trust or a mix — we check your structure still fits where the business is heading.

Family & distribution planning

Trust distributions, dividends and salary mixes reviewed and minuted correctly each year.

Cash flow for tax

A clear schedule of what's due and when, so instalments and BAS never catch you short.

Tax planning questions

Before you ask…

When is the best time to do tax planning?+

March to May is ideal — there's enough of the year behind you to forecast accurately, and enough time left to actually act. That said, structure decisions are worth reviewing any time.

Is this different from doing my tax return?+

Completely. A tax return reports what already happened. Planning changes the outcome while you can still influence it.

Is any of this aggressive or risky?+

No. Everything we recommend sits squarely within Australian tax law and ATO guidance. We document the reasoning so your position is defensible.

Will it be worth the fee?+

For most trading businesses the savings comfortably exceed the cost. If we review your position and see nothing meaningful to gain, we'll tell you that up front.
