Tax Planning
Have you ever received your business tax return from your accountant and there was a large unexpected tax payment attached to it? Unfortunately for growing small businesses this happens far too often, and if cash hasn’t been set aside during the year it can put a large strain on your short term cashflow. The team at Decimal Place work closely with our clients throughout the year to make sure you are constantly aware of your tax obligations and avoid those nasty surprise tax bills.
We make sure you know your tax position before the end of the year so that you can implement strategies in enough time to reduce your annual tax bill.
How Tax Planning Works:
- First, we look at your business performance for the financial year to date
- From there, we add your budgeted income and expenses for the remainder of the year. Or calculate an estimate ourselves based on the year to date data.
- We can then calculate an estimated profit(or loss) position for the whole year and calculate your annual tax payable position. This estimate will give you an idea of what the business will be required to pay. Assuming income and expenses are in line with our estimates.
- Lastly we work with you to create scenarios that you might implement to minimise your year end tax payment.
Knowing what your quarterly business tax return obligations are going to be for the next 12 months is just as important as knowing your year end tax obligations. When preparing your annual tax return, we will also help you plan out your estimated quarterly payments for the next 12 months. To make sure you know what they will be well in advance and fit them into your budget.
