As the end of the financial year approaches, it's essential for individuals and small business owners to consider their tax planning strategies. Effective tax planning ensures compliance with legal obligations and optimises your financial position. At HelloLedger, we are dedicated to guiding you through this process to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Current Opportunities and Strategies
To maximise your tax benefits this year, consider these strategies:
Superannuation Contributions: Increase your superannuation fund contributions to reduce taxable income.
Pre-Paying Expenses: Pay for upcoming expenses before the year ends to claim deductions earlier.
Investing in Assets: Leverage the temporary increase in the instant asset write-off threshold, set to end on 30 June 2024 for Small businesses entities with an aggregated turnover of less than $10 million. Act quickly to ensure delivery, use, or installation of assets by this deadline, pending legislation approval.
Additionally, with the stage 3 tax cuts commencing on 1 July 2024, you could:
Defer Income: Postpone receiving income until the 2025 financial year to benefit from potentially lower tax rates.
Accelerate Deductions: Bring forward eligible deductions into the 2024 financial year.
Plan Asset Sales: Consider the timing of asset sales that may trigger capital gains to optimise tax outcomes.
Our Tax Planning Process
Our process begins after the completion of your March 2024 Business Activity Statement, allowing us to assess your financial situation comprehensively and devise personalised strategies. Here’s what we cover:

Income and Expenses Forecasting: With up-to-date figures from your March quarter, we forecast your income and expenses through June to provide precise tax forecasting and reduction strategies.
