Look at your numbers before 30 June, not after. Practical tax planning for Darwin and Palmerston businesses from a registered tax agent.
Most business owners meet their accountant after 30 June, when the year is already closed and the options are limited. Tax planning moves that conversation forward. We review your year to date, forecast where profit is heading, and talk through what you can sensibly do about it while there is still time.
It suits sole traders, partnerships, companies and trusts – from Darwin tradies and hospitality operators to professional practices and property investors. Our approach is simple: understand the business, explain the choices in plain English, and keep everything within the ATO’s rules. We do not promise particular tax outcomes, because they depend on your facts and the law at the time.
Tax planning is scoped to your business, so we quote after a free first consultation. Fees are agreed upfront and are generally tax-deductible the following year.
Tax planning works best alongside accurate books and good reporting. See our business accounting, bookkeeping, cash flow forecasting and business advisory pages, or read how the 2026 negative gearing and CGT changes affect property investors.
It is a forward-looking review of your business and personal tax position, done before the end of the financial year (30 June) while there is still time to act. We look at your structure, expected profit, timing of income and expenses, super, trust distributions and cash flow so decisions are made on purpose rather than at tax time.
The most useful windows are early in the financial year (July to September), around the March quarter when you can forecast the full-year result, and in May to June before the 30 June cut-off. Planning after 30 June limits you to how you report what has already happened.
No. We use the concessions and structuring options the law provides to make sure you pay the correct amount of tax and no more, while keeping you compliant with ATO rules. We do not promise particular tax outcomes, because they depend on your facts and on the law at the time.
No. Sole traders, partnerships, companies and trusts across Darwin and Palmerston use it, from tradies and cafes to professional practices and property investors. The earlier you start, the more options you tend to have.
We discuss fees upfront after a free first consultation, so you know the scope and cost before any work starts. Our advice fees are generally tax-deductible in the following year, but your own circumstances apply.
