What does the review include?
Firstly, we review your financial position and current circumstances for the year. We then make projections for the whole year’s profit and come up with strategies to reduce your tax.
Example
Bob and Sarah’s restaurant has made a profit of $220,000. They will share the profit equally and receive $110,000 each. It was recommended that they contribute $30,000 to super to reduce their tax bill.
Tax savings
Tax on super contribution 15% = $4,500 tax
Tax if no contribution to super 39% = $11,700 tax
Savings: $7,200
