Taxation Financial Statement Preparation & Support
Our team can also assist in processing your business activity statements (BAS) and instalment activity statement (IAS). Here are some tips when it comes time to preparing your statements:
- Keep Accurate Records: Records are essential when it comes to preparing your BAS. Keep thorough records of all sales, fees, expenses, wages and other business costs.
- Keep Appropriate Records: This can include items such as stocktake records, as well as logbooks to substantiate motor vehicle claims.
- Know BAS Lodgement Dates: Business activity statements can be lodged in either monthly, quarterly or annual periods. Our team can best advise on when and how to lodge your statements.
- Invoices & GST: It is essential to use the correct GST accounting method and, as always, to keep all your tax invoices and other GST records for five years.
Our team can provide advice and recommendations on how to best lodge your statements, ensuring you have all the correct information and records in place for the process to move smoothly.
Tax Returns, Planning & Minimisation
At Whitson Dawson, we provide all our individual and business clients with comprehensive tax planning strategies including tax minimisation strategies. Some items that can be looked into include:
- Structuring your business & personal assets
- Negatively gearing a property or an investment into shares
- Holding tax deductible income protection
- Investing in early stage investment companies
- Investing in early stage venture capital limited partnerships
Deceased Estate & Statutory Support Accountants
Our team will work closely with you to ensure all paperwork and processes are followed through correctly in estate management and deceased estates, allowing a smoother process down the track. When it comes to statutory reporting, one of the most fundamental things to keep in mind is data management. Taking into account things like transparency in where it came from, context into why it changed and control over how it is handled can greatly benefit the reporting process.
Keeping accurate records and information will further strengthen any future financial reporting you’ll need to make in the future. This will not only aide in maintaining compliance with the ATO, but can also enable you to make better business decisions in the future.
Wide Range Of Australian Taxes
There is a wide range of Australian taxes that could affect you in one way or another. Some of these include:
- Speciality tax
- Global expatriate tax
- Employment tax
- Corporate and international tax
- Personal income tax
- Goods and services tax
With all these different taxes, it’s no surprise that keeping on top of your taxation can be hard—especially if you don’t understand it!
We can help individuals or businesses with tax planning strategies, offering advice and statutory reporting. Whether you require consultancy or accounting information, we are more than happy to provide it. When it comes to your needs, tax firms should not be concerned with profitable gain but with protecting your interests at all times.
