Scamwatch offer some suggestions on how to protect yourself from scams. These are included in our full article.
Business Tax Planning – Year End. What you should do before 30 June!
Around this time of year, in the S & W Insight, we usually go through all the things that you should be doing running up to year end. We believe we have trained our clients well and they do not need full details of what to do but rather just a reminder of the items for them to undertake. You should be proactive in planning for the year end to make sure you do everything you legally can to make sure you don’t pay any more tax than you absolutely have to.
With the volatile business environment caused by COVID-19, it is imperative that you maintain cashflow and availing yourself of any tax concessions prior to 30 June will only help you with this.
The basic tax planning strategies you need to review by year end are listed in our article.
