How to minimise your business tax this EOFY
If there is one thing we know for certain, it’s that everyone wants to pay less tax. It’s money straight back in your pocket.
Imagine the things you could do with money gifted straight back to you. Pay an additional instalment off your home loan. Take a holiday. Prepay your school fees.
The list could go on.
So, how do you minimise your business tax?
You undertake some tax planning prior to June 30.
What are the benefits of tax planning?
Tax planning has additional benefits on top of reducing your yearly tax bill (which in itself is benefit enough!)
By channelling your money into different investment plans, you are also optimising your overall position and opportunity for future growth. It gives you more control over your taxation and investment decisions.
How can tax planning help you?
Taxation planning is analysing your current financial position and legally implementing strategies that help to minimise your tax payable.
It is best done in the months leading up to June 30 so you have the time to implement your chosen strategies.
