Compliance is the floor, not the strategy

Lodging a correct return matters. But by the time a return is prepared, most of the decisions that determine the outcome — how the entity is owned, what was claimed, when an asset was sold — have already been made.

We run compliance and planning together: the return is lodged accurately, and the following year is planned while there is still time to act on it. That is usually worth more than any single deduction.

Structuring is the clearest example. A trust, company, partnership or a combination changes who pays tax, when, and at what rate — and it is much easier to set up before the purchase than to unwind afterwards.

What we look at each year

  • Entity structure and ownership percentages
  • Division 7A and related-party dealings
  • Capital gains timing and concessions
  • Superannuation contributions and caps

The work in detail

Tax returnsIndividual, partnership, company, trust and SMSF returns, lodged with the supporting schedules and a plain-English summary.
BAS and activity statementsGST, PAYG withholding and instalments prepared on time, with the cash-flow impact flagged before it lands.
Business structuringTrusts, companies and partnerships set up — or restructured — with the commercial purpose documented, not just the tax outcome.
Strategic tax planningTiming income and deductions, managing CGT events, and using concessions before 30 June rather than after.
ATO correspondenceReviews, audits and lodgment issues handled with a documented position and a single point of contact.

Working together

How a referral between businesses works

When the right next step sits with another business in the group, we ask you first. You decide whether the introduction happens.

  • Client consent first — nothing about you is shared with another business without your agreement.
  • Each business advises only within its own licence. IR Property does not give tax or credit advice, GBS advises on tax and accounting only, and Next Step Financing provides credit assistance only.
  • Any referral fee, commission or benefit paid between businesses in the group is disclosed to you before you engage.
