    Tax planning tips for businesses

    By admin • 18 June 2019 • Tax

    Although the 2018-19 financial year is coming to an end, there are still a number of tactics you may be able to employ to ensure that you get the most out of your tax return.

    Bring forward expenses:
    It is a common recommendation at tax time for small business owners to claim all of the appropriate deductions that are available. These can include rent, utilities, repairs for the business, or work-related travel. You may also consider bringing forward as many expenses as possible to before 1 July, such as pre-paying rent or repair expenses. This can allow you to claim the necessary deductions in your 2018-19 tax return.

    Take advantage of the instant-asset write off:
    More business owners can take advantage of the instant-asset write off this financial year, as it has now been extended to include businesses with a turnover from $10 million to less than $50 million. These businesses can claim a deduction of up to $30,000 for assets purchased or installed and ready for use from 2 April 2019 until 30 June 2020. This could be particularly helpful for individuals who rely on tools, cars or other assets.

    Keep strong records:
    As a good recommendation to keep in mind for the end of each financial year, keeping up-to-date records can make tax time a little easier next year. It’s never too late to start getting your records in order, so consider keeping all of your documents together once you have filed your 2018-19 tax return. As an added benefit, a well-detailed set of records is the easiest way to resolve any issues that you may face with the ATO.

    Capital gains and losses:
    For those who have made any capital gain from investments this financial year, you may consider selling any investments on which you have made a loss before 30 June. This will make the gains on your successful investments able to be offset against the losses, reducing your overall taxable income. However, you should avoid solely letting tax benefits drive your investment decisions. Seek professional advice before making major changes to your investments.
