Business Financials & Tax Returns

Proactive tax accounting to enable business growth.

The government dishes out a long list of chores for business owners: Business Activity Statements (BAS), income tax returns, fringe benefits tax returns, just to name a few. The better your numbers are, the more streamlined this process can be.

Businesses come under pressure when owners don’t understand their compliance liabilities, and when they are due. This is particularly relevant for new business owners, who often don’t realise what’s required.

Falling behind in your tax obligations is one of the major causes of failure for Australian businesses. In an increasingly complex tax environment, keeping up to date with taxation regulations is an absolute must for businesses of any size or industry. Our team of tax accountants will work with you and your team and share their knowledge and expertise to help provide transparency.

Whether you are an established business that has been trading for some time, or a start-up launching your new business venture, our proactive accountants work with you to make a real difference that really works to improve your performance and achieve genuine growth, all whilst adhering to current taxation laws.

You’ll be able to have absolute confidence that your business or personal tax is in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a business grows, individuals often look to set up various structures to own the business. With a company comes a few more responsibilities.

As a company is separate from its owners, there is the need to lodge a separate tax return for the company.

Income and expenses are calculated for the company, with the major difference being the tax rates applied. This is all calculated through the submission of your company tax return.
The degree of separation between the owners of the company, and the company itself does have other advantages, such as a layer of protection between the personal assets of the owners, and the dealings of the company itself.

 

If you would like to know more about whether a company is right for you, contact our team at Carbon Accounting & Tax, where we tailor business structures to your needs.

A capital gain or loss is the difference between the cost of an asset and the sales proceeds you received when you dispose or sell the asset.

You pay tax on your capital gains as it forms part of your income in your tax return. If you make a capital loss, you can’t claim it against your other income, but you can use it to reduce a capital gain in the same year. If your capital losses exceed your capital gains in an income year, you can generally carry forward the loss and deduct it against capital gains made in future years.

All assets acquired from 20th September 1985 are subject to CGT unless specifically excluded. Most personal assets are exempt from CGT including your home, car and most personal use assets such as furniture. CGT also doesn’t apply to depreciate assets such as business equipment.
