Dates to be aware of this tax season
For many, the end of the financial year means getting your receipts and documents organized in preparation to lodge your annual tax return. However, it’s important that as a business owner, you are thinking about tax all year round – not just in June as deadlines start to approach.
There are many benefits for business owners who take the time to plan their tax and look at it through the scope of a marathon rather than a sprint.
Plan early and maximise your business deductibles, ultimately saving you tax
Forward planning helps you to know your tax liabilities, meaning you can reinvest funds that may have been set aside for tax
The earlier you start planning, the more strategies you can put in place to maximise the benefits and look into opportunities that present
By taking the time to plan throughout the year, you give yourself the opportunity to learn as you go, rather than rushing any decisions
Tax planning also allows you to consider superannuation optimisation and look into options such as salary sacrificing or making extra after-tax deductible super contributions to super and self-managed super funds.
