Strategic Tax Planning for Businesses

It's about planning ahead to understand your future tax position, know what your options are, identify opportunities to minimise tax, and plan for future cashflows.

Tax planning is about "no surprises"

We work with you to plan ahead towards the financial year end, understanding your business performance and how this translates into taxable income.

Our approach to tax planning begins with a thorough understanding of your projected tax position, exploring all available options to minimise your tax liabilities while remaining aligned with industry best practices. We handle all the necessary paperwork to document your decisions, giving you confidence and peace of mind.

Our tax planning services include a projection of your net profit for the financial year, allowing us to provide an accurate forecast of your tax obligations. We meet with you to identify efficient tax management strategies, ensuring you know well in advance when tax payments will be due. This proactive planning prevents unexpected cash flow challenges, so you’re prepared and well-positioned when payments are required.

Having MGIDC as your trusted advisor means you have the expertise and guidance needed to navigate the complex tax landscape and make informed decisions that support your financial goals.

Every year, many of our clients participate in our tax planning.  Tax planning is the process of preparing your tax position for the end of the financial year before time, so that you can see what tax implications you may be faced with.  The advantage of seeing it before time, means that we can setup structures or plan the best course to ensure you get the most optimised tax position possible.

Frequently asked questions about Tax and Accounting

There are numerous ideas, some of which include taking advantage of Government incentives, whilst others involve bringing forward tax deductions where eligible. If you are a small business entity, we can look at taking advantage of a range of concessions.



Generally, deductions need to have a direct connection to the earning of your assessable income as an employee. Claims for home office expenses and motor vehicle expenses are options we can explore with you.

It is important to note that the Governments generous immediate asset write off’s have now finished, however, there might still be a benefit to be had if you are a small business entity. As always, you need to consider commercially whether the spending decision makes sense for your business.
