Tax Planning
At Smith Shearer, we see tax planning as an essential aspect of managing your tax obligations and payments. It also plays an integral role in our relationship with your business, as it enables us to help you to plan for your upcoming tax obligations (so that there are no surprises) and legally minimise your tax payments.
The benefits of tax planning
Peace of Mind
Tax planning is a legitimate and legal way to minimise your business and personal tax obligations.
It also gives you peace of mind in knowing that you are on top of any cashflow implications prior to June 30.
Saves You Time
The tax planning process is about being proactive with your business strategy to make structured and efficient tax savings.
It also assists you by saving time and money when it comes to your annual compliance work.
Wealth Creation
Working with your Accountant to devise your business strategy in the lead-up to June 30 is essential for business growth and maximising your return on investment.
Tax planning is a key element of wealth creation.
Pay Less Tax
Nationwide research shows that over 95% of taxpayers can legally reduce the amount of tax they pay.
Tax planning is about reducing your taxable income so that you pay less tax, (i.e. more money in your pocket).
Tax Planning doesn't involve just spending money before the 30th of June, it's about having the right business structure in place and ensuring the increased spending you do undertake is done effectively to benefit you and your enterprise.
