Tax Planning

Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows you to arrange your financial affairs to keep your tax to a minimum. This is commonly known as tax planning.

This introductory workshop will explain the rules around tax planning so you can maximise your return and/or discuss strategies you may wish to implement with your accountant.

Having an up-to-date copy of your business accounts on hand for this session will be of benefit.

Please note: the information provided in this workshop is general in nature. The SBDC recommends that you speak to your accountant or tax professional before implementing any of the strategies discussed.

This topic covers:

• Understanding tax planning rules and how they can benefit you
• Determining if you should you lodge early or on the last day
• How to ‘optimise’ the amount of tax you pay
• Determining whether you should purchase new business assets
• Super contributions and your tax
• Determining how to pay yourself as a business owner
• How to manage bad debt
• Analysing if you should prepay expenses

This workshop is for all small business owners.
