Key Tax Planning Tips for EOFY 2025
- Check Your Income and Expenses:
- Have a complete check on your income and expenditure for the year to date. This will give you a clear picture of your tax position.
- Ensure that all your records are up to date and correct. These consist of receipts, invoices, and bank statements.
- Verify any potential deductions you might be eligible for, e.g. business expenses, work-related expenses, or donations to charity.
- Maximise Deductions:
- Instant Asset Write-Off - Observe the current instant asset write-off thresholds. Consider purchasing eligible assets before 30th June to be able to claim this deduction. Check current government policies since the rule is updated constantly.
- Superannuation Contributions - Making additional concessional contributions to your super can reduce your taxable income. Be aware that there are contribution caps, so consult a professional to make the most of this strategy.
- Prepaying Expenses - Consider prepaying certain expenses, such as rent, insurance, or subscriptions, before June 30th. This can bring forward deductions into the current financial year.
- Home Office Expenses - When working from home, ensure that you're claiming all possible deductions, such as electricity, internet and phone bills.
- Manage Capital Gains and Losses:
- Review your investment portfolio and consider selling assets with capital losses to offset any capital gains.
- Be careful of the timing of asset sales, as capital gains are part of your assessable income for the financial year in which they are realised.
- Small Business Specific Considerations:
- Stocktake - Have a proper stocktake to get the true value of your stock.
- Bad Debts - Check your accounts receivable and write off any bad debts prior to June 30th.
- Company Tax Rate - Stay aware of the current company tax rate and ensure that you're meeting all the requirements.
