“30th June is fast approaching”
Dear Clients and Friends,
Do you require any advice before the next financial year rolls around?
It might be extra superannuation contributions, buying the new laptop or making that annual tax-deductible donation.
Once 30th June has passed – it’s tax time for your annual personal tax returns – grab those receipts out of the shoe box and start putting together your information to try and secure your well deserved refunds. Please see below on how to make an appointment – already we have bookings filling fast.
We hope you enjoy reading our newsletter below.
As always, if you have any questions please, feel free to contact us.
Warm regards,
Darren, Brent and the Team at GFM
Don’t Leave Tax Planning Until It’s Too Late
With 30 June fast approaching, there is still time to take advantage of legitimate tax planning opportunities before the end of the financial year.
Effective tax planning isn’t just about reducing tax—it’s about making informed decisions that can improve cash flow, maximise deductions, manage capital gains, and ensure you are structured as efficiently as possible for the year ahead.
Whether you’re a business owner, investor, property owner, or individual taxpayer with complex affairs, a proactive review before 30 June can identify opportunities that may no longer be available once the financial year ends.
Our team is currently conducting Pre-30 June Tax Planning Reviews and can provide tailored strategies based on your circumstances.
Act now—once 30 June passes, many tax planning opportunities are lost until next year.
Contact us today to arrange your tax planning consultation and ensure you enter the new financial year with confidence.
