“Nothing is certain except Death and Taxes” Benjamin Franklin, 1739.

To this day, this is true. The only way that you don’t pay any tax is to not earn any money. As you are in business to earn money, you have no choice but to pay tax. Understanding the areas of taxation and when they apply to you is the first step. Developing a plan to manage it, including when and how to pay it, allows your business to continue growing, rather than stalling every time you are faced with a tax bill.

Taxation advice, assistance and consultation is enhanced when it is proactive and tailor-made to your individual requirements. Taxation is a substantial cost to any business and is governed by regulations outside of your control. It is imperative you receive consistent and reliable advice for all taxation including GST, Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and income tax. Do you know how long you have to keep your financial records? Do you understand your FBT obligations? Do you need someone to communicate with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regarding your obligations? Do you need a payment arrangement with the ATO? Do you need advice on company, partnership, trust, personal or deceased estate tax matters? Kirra Consulting has the expertise required to ensure you understand and can plan to steer your business in the direction of growth, ensuring compliance with government requirements.
