The 2017 budget was released last week, we strongly urge you to look at our budget review which highlights how business and individuals may be affected by the budget changes.
It’s that time of year again for Tax Planning, as we’ve highlighted in a number of previous correspondence, there have been several important legislative changes and there is a limited opportunity to take advantage before 30 June. Please talk to us about how these changes may affect you. If you haven’t previously had your tax planning done with Chris, Dale or Leon, please contact us to arrange a meeting, for those who regularly do this, your partner will be contacted over the next few weeks.
Last month, Gint Silins from Cullens Patent and Trademark Attorneys, spoke to our staff about Patents Trademarks and Intellectual Property, download the free IP guide here provided by Cullens.
Don’t forget to get your FBT return information to us to be lodged on time.

CGT Small Business Retirement Exemption (in all its complexity!) We often get asked “do I do this pre 30 June or post 30 June” and the answer can be quite complex, if you are considering, you need to talk to us first.
Small businesses can access a range of tax concessions, including payment and reporting options. These concessions can apply to small business sole traders, partnerships, companies or trusts.
