Made personal super contributions in the 2024-25 financial year? Here's one step you do not want to miss.

To claim a tax deduction, you need to submit a Notice of Intent to Claim form to your super fund and receive acknowledgement before lodging your 2025 tax return, or by 30 June 2026, whichever comes first.

Most funds allow you to complete this online through your member portal. For more information, please refer to our recent blog post: https://4front.net.au/business-consulting/super-contributions-tax-deduction-2025/

If you made personal super contributions and are not sure whether everything has been completed correctly, contact the 4Front team.

Tax planning is easier when you know what to look for. We’ve created a practical End of Financial Year Tax Planning Checklist for Australian small business owners.

Review your tax position, spot gaps, and ask better questions of your adviser. 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗢𝗙𝗬 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:https://4front.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/End-of-Financial-Year-Tax-Planning-Checklist-Small-Businesses.pdf

The Federal Budget 2026-27 has introduced several key tax and investment measures, staged across 2026 and 2027. That gives individuals, investors, business owners and employers time to review their position properly, but only if they start early.

Some measures may affect tax planning, asset decisions, investment strategy, business structuring, cash flow and longer-term financial planning.

To understand what the Budget may mean for you, your business, or your investment plans, speak with your 4Front adviser today!

Most business owners walk into June without a tax plan. By the time they call their accountant, the window to do anything meaningful has already closed. Tax shouldn't be an event left to chance. It should be the result of deliberate decisions, made at the right time, and executed well.

We have put together 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟏𝟎 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝟑𝟎 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞, based on what we see from business owners every year.

If you haven’t taken a step back to review your position yet, this is a good place to start.

Succession planning isn't something you can do effectively in the final year before exit.

Many of the most valuable tax concessions require you to meet eligibility criteria over time. Ownership periods, asset use, and business structures all play a role in determining your access to tax relief.

Starting early gives you the flexibility to restructure if needed, maximise concessions, and avoid rushed decisions that could trigger unnecessary tax liabilities.

A year ago, we moved 4Front into our new Carindale office. Today, we’re marking that milestone with something bigger - 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲. But this isn’t just a new coat of paint.

Over the past 12 months, we’ve been deliberately evolving from an accounting practice into 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 - bringing accounting, financial planning, business advisory and finance broking together so our clients get coordinated advice, not disconnected services. 🤝🤝

The new site reflects that shift: updated team profiles, detailed service offerings, and a clearer picture of whom we’re built for - family business owners, SME operators and those looking to build their wealth who want a proactive partner, not a once-a-year phone call. 🚀🚀

We’re also investing in smarter tools, better tech, deeper advisory capability, and our next generation of client-facing leaders. Take a look and let us know what you think: www.4front.net.au

Interesting research from the Reserve Bank showing cash use in Australia has stopped declining and is actually increasing slightly.

What caught my attention is why people still use it. The most common reason is that it simplifies budgeting. Cash creates a natural spending limit that digital payments don't have.

There's something to that. When you withdraw $100 for the week, and that's what you have to spend, you're forced to be more conscious about where it goes. Tap-and-go doesn't create the same awareness.

Three-quarters of Australians still carry cash. Most say they keep it as a backup in case electronic payment systems fail.

Cash might be old-fashioned, but it still serves a purpose for many people when it comes to managing their spending.

Around half of Australians still use cash in a typical week, and we keep about $65 in our wallets.
