# Tax planning & minimisation
#### Explore every strategy to reduce your tax and improve your position (legally, of course!)
Paying tax means your making a profit, which is what we're here for! So the goal isn't to pay zero tax - But you may potentially be paying thousands that you don't need to. This is why we work with our clients proactively prior to the end of financial year to explore every strategy to reduce your tax and improve your position. This is more than just another tax deduction here and there, and we aren't promising you won't pay tax... But it will make an impact on your tax return.

- What is the meaning of tax planning?
In the grand financial symphony that composes your business, think of tax planning as the masterful conductor. It’s not just about minimising what you owe come tax season—though, certainly, that's a delightful perk! It’s about strategically orchestrating your finances in a manner that keeps your hard-earned money working for you, within the harmonious chords of the law.
Imagine, if you will, navigating the financial seas with both confidence and compliance, ensuring every decision not only amplifies your growth but also aligns beautifully with legal standards. This is the essence of tax planning. It’s a thoughtful, proactive approach to managing your financial affairs, ensuring every move is both intelligent and lawful.
Tax planning should never feel like you're threading the needle through regulatory loopholes. Instead, it's about maximising your financial health with strategies that are as clear-cut as they are effective. Think of it as optimizing your financial diet—nutritious, beneficial, and most importantly, legal.
Venturing beyond the bounds of the law in search of tax advantages is akin to navigating without a compass: risky and ill-advised. Our role is to keep your voyage on the right course, making sure that every tax strategy we employ not only leads to prosperity but steers clear of any legal storm clouds.
Ready to refine your financial strategies with tax planning that’s as straightforward as it is strategic? Let's embark on this journey together. Our commitment is to guide you towards financial wellbeing and success, all while cultivating a relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and shared achievements. Here’s to setting sail towards a future where your financial goals aren’t just met—they’re exceeded, within the safe harbors of the law.
- What are the new tax cuts 2025–26?
Australian taxpayers continue to benefit from the revised income tax rates that took effect on 1 July 2024 and remain in place for the 2025–26 financial year. These changes were designed to reduce bracket creep and give more Australians meaningful relief on their tax bill.
Here's what's in effect right now:
- For income between **$18,201 and $45,000**, the tax rate is **16%** (down from 19%)
- For income between **$45,001 and $135,000**, the tax rate is **30%** (down from 32.5%)
- For income between **$135,001 and $190,000**, the rate remains **37%**
- For income **above $190,000**, the rate remains **45%**

### Why plan for 30 June / end of financial year (EOFY)?
There's no good looking retrospectively at the numbers and your accounts - You could be letting opportunities slip by and also setting yourself up to pay thousands in tax than you need to.
Some of the benefits and reasons for planning for 30 June are:
- Changes as a result of the federal budget that affect you
- Changes as a result of the personal income tax rate
- Take advantage of business asset purchase deductions
- Contributions into superannuation to reduce personal income tax liabilities
- Review owner wages/ taxable income & adjust as necessary to reduce unnecessary tax (only available if adjusted pre 30 June)
- Review key strategies to minimise your capital gains tax (capital gains tax cgt)
- Avoid any unpleasant tax surprises
- Plan future cash flow including tax payments & PAYGI catchup instalments
- Ensure taxable income is in the most appropriate entity to minimise income tax
- Check tax offset, distribute income for different tax rate, and income tax return tax planning strategies
- And so much more.

- What is my taxable income?
Think of this as as all the money you've got left after you deduct the eligible expenses. It's your gross income after tax deductions have had their share—a.k.a, your financial cake after the taxman's had his slice.
And what makes up this tasty treasure also known as assessable income? Your wages, salary, and any cash earned from irregular or occasional work—it's all part of the mix!
With the end of the tax year (30 June, we see you!) just around the bend, now is the perfect time to assess your taxable income for the 2023-24 fiscal run and take a sneak peek at the 2024-25 forecast. Why do this, you ask? Because knowing where you stand today is your first step on the road to savvy, forward-thinking tax planning. Imagine knowing your tax liability almost a year before it's due!
### Have complete confidence in your business position
Being empowered in business and having the clarity and confidence that your business is in a great place when it comes to tax is an epic feeling, but one not felt often enough by small business owners.
We want to change that.
Not only do we work with you to legally lower the amount of tax you pay the ATO, but we also provide the knowledge and transparency around the tax you do have to pay (no more nasty surprises that come in the form of large tax bills at end of year!).
By being in the loop on your tax situation, you can go out and run your business confidently and make better business decisions, without having to worry about tax. Your Trekk Advisory team will keep you updated, and will always be on hand if you are unsure on a decision.
