This is an estimate of your group’s tax position for the year, and is usually done in April or May. It can be very helpful for budgeting and planning purposes, and to determine what can be done prior to year end to reduce your tax amount payable.
Tax planning is strongly recommended for those with trusts, as trust law requires distributions to be determined prior to 30 June each year (ie, how much profit is distributed to each beneficiary). Tax planning is recommended prior to drafting the annual distribution resolution, to determine the optimum distribution amounts and keep tax paid across the group as low as possible.
Includes:
- Calculation of estimated tax position for the year
- Options for legally keeping tax payable across your group to a minimum
- Comprehensive report
- Zoom or phone meeting to discuss available options and scenarios

QBCC requires a Minimum Financial Report to be prepared by an accountant where you want to:
- Apply for a licence
- Increase your maximum revenue
- Decrease your minimum net asset requirement
The Minimum Financial Report must be accompanied by financial statements that are less than four months old and prepared in accordance with accounting standards. So, depending on the time of year, interim financial statements may be required to be prepared.
Contact us to discuss what is required for your situation, and for a customised quote.
