Taxation

Our team consists of tax specialists that are dedicated to make our clients taxation lives as simple and hassle-free as they can. Their experience and knowledge means they can help you with all areas of tax including:

Income – Not-for-profits (NFPs) are generally tax-exempt, but it is still mandatory for them to prepare and lodge annual returns to the ATO, which our team would be more than happy to help with. Although, if your NFP does incur tax liabilities we can assist in minimizing your tax burden through advising on potential concessions and proactively providing other tax planning advice for future years.

Payroll – Hiring employees will mean that your business must register for PAYG withholding. Also, the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) may also become mandatory if these employees receive any non-monetary benefits. Although, most non-government organisations are permitted a limited rebate on these benefits which we can further talk about when you contact us.
