Tax Planning helps you do more with your money

Tax planning is a strategic approach to managing your business’ financial affairs, with the aim of legally minimising your tax liability. In other words, you plan ahead to make sure you pay the taxes you should be paying, but not a penny more.


Working with your tax adviser, you can look for deductions, credits, exemptions and tax-saving strategies that will help to optimise your company’s overall tax position.

How does tax planning affect your business?

The primary goal of tax planning is to reduce the amount of taxes your business owes. But it’s also about making sure you stay compliant with all the tax laws and regulations applicable to your business. 


But what are the main advantages? Let’s take a look at five of the big benefits of careful, strategic tax planning.


By planning your tax across the year, you can:


  • Maximise your profits – strategic tax planning helps your company find the best available tax incentives, deductions and credits. This reduces your overall tax liability, cuts your annual tax costs and increases your overall profitability as a business.
  • Boost your cashflow – tax planning is a great way to open up more liquid cash and achieve a better cashflow position for the business. When you cut down the company’s tax payments, that frees up cash and helps you achieve a positive cashflow position.
  • Stay compliant and mitigate your risk – being proactive with your tax planning keeps the company compliant with the relevant tax laws and regulations. It’s a sensible way to tick the compliance boxes and reduce the risk of costly penalties and legal issues.
  • Drive your strategic growth – smart use of tax planning helps you reduce your tax costs and reassign those funds to your strategic business goals. It’s a golden opportunity to invest in areas that promote long-term growth and competitiveness.
  • Give your business a competitive edge – if managed well, efficient tax planning leads to lower operational costs for the business. This gives you a competitive edge when it comes to pricing, innovation, sales and revenue generation.

One of our clients, a cardiologist, came to us feeling frustrated. They were earning a strong income and investing regularly, but their wealth wasn’t growing as fast as they’d hoped. After reviewing their situation, we found several areas for improvement. Their investments were held in their own name, which meant they were paying taxes at the top marginal rate. They were also missing out on key deductions and weren’t using their superannuation accounts to their full potential. We worked together to restructure their finances. By moving their investments into a family trust, they could distribute income to family members on lower tax rates. We also restructured their loans to reduce interest payments, freeing up cash flow for other investments. One of their properties was operating at a loss, but we used negative gearing to offset their taxable income, saving them thousands. Finally, we optimised both their and their spouse’s super accounts, taking advantage of lower tax rates to build long-term wealth. The results were immediate. They now save $10K annually in taxes and have better cash flow, allowing them to invest more effectively. Their assets are also insulated from potential litigation, giving them peace of mind about the future. This is a perfect example of how the right advice can make a world of difference. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your financial progress, a specialist accountant can help you unlock new opportunities and achieve your goals faster. You’ve worked hard for your success, it’s time your finances reflected that.

When you’re running a business, having insurance in place often feels like a safety net. You’ve checked the box, paid the premiums, and you can breathe a sigh of relief. But are you truly covered? Many business owners believe they’re protected, only to find gaps in their coverage when it’s too late.  It’s not uncommon to assume you’re safeguarded, but the reality is that insurance and asset protection strategies need regular review, especially as your business and personal circumstances change.

You’ve worked hard to build wealth and provide for your family. But when it comes to passing that wealth on, are you aware of the potential tax implications? While Australia doesn’t have a direct inheritance tax, that doesn’t mean your beneficiaries are completely off the hook. There are other taxes that can come into play, especially when it comes to inherited assets or superannuation.
