Reduce my tax
Tax. It’s a necessary evil. No one likes to pay it but if we must then let’s not pay anymore than our fair share. Let’s minimise the tax we pay on our investment earnings and maximise the amount we have to fund our lifestyle.
We help you minimise the amount of tax you pay on your investment earnings by:
- Reviewing and establishing the right investment structures;
- Providing annual tax planning advice to minimise tax on capital gains and investment income;
- Providing superannuation tax advice including the benefits of a self-managed superannuation fund;
- Implementing tax strategies that minimise the tax you pay on your retirement earnings.

Manage my super
For investors who want more control over how their superannuation is invested and the flexibility to choose what assets to invest in, a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) can be a good choice. In addition to having greater control over your investments, investing through a SMSF will provide you with lower tax rates than traditionally paid by investing outside of superannuation. Your fund can also be used to provide a tax-free income in the retirement phase of your life.
However, an SMSF is highly regulated and there are a large number of investment and tax rules you need to be aware of to ensure you comply with the law. If you are considering an SMSF it is important to seek the right advice to ensure it will suit your needs and provide you with the benefits you are looking for.
We help you manage your superannuation by:
- Providing you with advice regarding the benefits and costs of setting up and operating an SMSF;
- Providing you with tax advice to minimise the amount of tax you pay;
- Preparation and administration of the compliance requirements;
- Preparation of annual financial reports, tax returns and regulatory documents.
