Personal Taxation
Your relationship with your accountant is crucial, and one that often lasts a lifetime. You need someone who:
- Is interested in you
- Answers the phone when you call
- Cuts through the jargon and speaks in plain language
- Is technically sound, has common sense, and is widely experienced in the real world
- Is large enough to have the resources required, but not so large that you just become a number
- Is a valuable sounding board to bounce ideas off
- Can provide service beyond just numbers
Typical personal taxation services we provide include:
- Preparation of all types of income tax returns
- Advice on capital gains tax
- Advice on the taxation of investment income
- Advice on the taxation of foreign income
- Advice on land tax
Superannuation
For most Australians, super is the biggest investment they will ever make. That is why expert advice is essential. Quite simply, if you're not maximising the significant tax benefits super enjoys, the chances are you are paying too much tax and wasting valuable wealth creation time.
Establishing a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is similar to running your own small company.
There are rules and regulations that must be followed in order to benefit from the significant tax incentives available. Running your own SMSF is not for everybody but many clients prefer the personal control and flexibility that SMSFs offer.
In conjunction with our financial planning service (Stewart Brown Advisory Pty Limited) we can assist you in respect of your retirement planning.
