EOFY tax tips, including extension to instant asset write-off

The 30th of June always seems to creep up on people with tax returns to do. HRIA partners, HLB Mann Judd have put together a helpful guide for HRIA members to get the best out of their tax returns.

In many instances, people who visit accountants to do their tax returns miss out on opportunities because certain things must be done before 30 June to receive specific tax advantages.

Below are some helpful tips for dealing with year-end tax planning. For more detail, visit your member portal using the link below or find out how to become a member by visiting www.hireandrental.com.au

Capital gains

If an asset has been sold during the year (such as an investment property or business asset), an accountant should be visited before 30 June to work out how much capital gain has been made and what can be done to reduce the tax impact on that gain. This could include bringing forward other expenses or making more significant contributions to superannuation. For the sale of business assets, there may be very generous concessions available.

Superannuation

Tax deductions are now available to most taxpayers but can only be obtained in the year that the contribution to superannuation is made. It may also be possible to contribute more than what an individual may have thought they were able to do so. Tax agents have access to the exact amount that individuals can claim a tax deduction for but need to be met with long before 30 June so that they can thoroughly explore their options at tax time.

Prepaying expenses

There may be expenses due early next year, but tax deductions can be brought forward for the next year by pre-paying them in June.

Instant asset write off

Most businesses can now claim a tax deduction for the total cost of items they buy for their business. Find out more information from HRIA Advisory partners HLB Mann Judd, go to your HRIA member portal.
