Plan it, don't suffer it
Business tax planning that works before the year closes
Structure, timing and deductions working together, reviewed while your options are still open. Delivered through MAS Advisory, with your books up to date as the starting point.
Legal tax savings come from three levers: structure (where your profit is taxed), timing (when income and deductions land) and completeness (claiming everything you're entitled to, documented). None work retroactively. That's why tax planning is a year-round discipline delivered through our Business Strategy & Advisory service, with your books up to date, and the tax return is just its final page.
Where we act
The six levers we review for your business
Structure review
Sole trader, company, trust or a combination: is profit landing where it's taxed best? Upgrading structure is often the single biggest saving. See Sole Trader vs Company.
Timing of deductions
Asset purchases, prepayments, bad debt write-offs: executed before 30 June they cut this year's bill; a week late, they wait a whole year.
Paying yourself right
Salary, dividends, trust distributions, or a mix: how money reaches the owners changes the total tax the family group pays. We model it, including Division 7A traps.
Superannuation strategy
Concessional contributions are one of the cleanest deductions available, if paid and cleared before the cutoffs. We time them into the plan.
PAYG instalments tuned
Instalments too high strangle cash flow; too low build a July bomb. We adjust them to your real trajectory, both directions.
Exit & CGT awareness
Selling the business one day? Small business CGT concessions can be transformative, but only with the right structure years in advance. We plant that flag early.
The rhythm
How year-round planning works
Baseline review
Structure, prior returns and current numbers reviewed, with your bookkeeping up to date. You get a clear picture of where tax is leaking.
Pre-30-June plan
A concrete action list with numbers and deadlines: what to buy, pay, declare or defer before the year closes.
Execute & monitor
We track execution, adjust instalments and roll the plan forward. The return then simply confirms what was planned.
Before 30 June
The whiteboard where July stops hurting
Quarterly reviews and a pre-30-June action list turn tax from a surprise into a plan you executed.
