If you haven’t reviewed your numbers yet, you are running out of time to make meaningful tax decisions.

Before 30 June, you still have time to:
• Reduce your tax legally
• Plan super contributions
• Write off assets (if appropriate)
• Get clear on your cash position

After 30 June, most of these opportunities are gone.

If you run a business, now is the time to act.

EOFY is Coming: 10 Smart Moves to Make Before 30 June 📊

The end of financial year is your window to take action — not just lodge and hope for the best. Here are 10 practical moves to help you maximise deductions, stay compliant, and make smarter financial decisions before 30 June:

1️⃣ Prepay eligible expenses
Bring forward costs like rent, subscriptions, or insurance to claim sooner.
2️⃣ Maximise work-related deductions
Only claim what’s directly related to earning your income — and make sure you’ve got evidence to back it up.
3️⃣ Top up your super contributions
Consider concessional contributions to reduce taxable income while boosting retirement savings.
4️⃣ Use unused super caps
If eligible, carry-forward contributions can create valuable tax savings.
5️⃣ Write off bad debts
If an amount is unrecoverable, writing it off before 30 June may allow a deduction.
6️⃣ Review asset purchases
Check eligibility for instant asset write-offs and depreciation benefits.
7️⃣ Reconcile your books
Accurate financials = better decisions and fewer surprises.
8️⃣ Get your records in order
Receipts, invoices, mileage logs — if it’s not documented, it’s not deductible.
9️⃣ Review your structure
Sole trader, company, or trust — the right setup can make a difference at tax time.
🔟 Speak to a professional early

A quick check-in before EOFY can uncover opportunities you might otherwise miss.
The Australian Taxation Office is paying closer attention to deductions and record-keeping — so preparation matters more than ever.

EOFY isn’t just a deadline. It’s a strategy moment.

If you haven’t started yet, now’s the time.

If your prices haven’t changed in 2+ years… your profit has.

Costs have gone up. Wages, materials, fuel, software… everything.

But many businesses haven’t adjusted their pricing.

That usually means:
• Same workload
• More stress
• Less profit

Reviewing your pricing isn’t greedy — it’s necessary.
Strong businesses protect their margins.

Last-Minute Super Contributions: What Still Counts Before 30 June 💰

Running out of time before EOFY? There’s still an opportunity to boost your super and potentially reduce your tax — but timing and eligibility are everything.

Here’s what you need to know before 30 June:
1️⃣ Concessional contributions still count (if received in time)
Includes employer SG, salary sacrifice, and personal deductible contributions — but they must hit your super fund before 30 June (not just be sent).
2️⃣ Check your contribution caps
The current concessional cap applies — going over it could mean extra tax.
3️⃣ Use carry-forward rules (if eligible)
Unused concessional caps from previous years may allow you to contribute more this year.
4️⃣ Personal contributions need a Notice of Intent
To claim a tax deduction, you must lodge a notice with your fund and receive acknowledgment.
5️⃣ Watch the cut-off dates
Super funds and clearing houses often have earlier deadlines — don’t leave it to the last day.
6️⃣ Non-concessional contributions
After-tax contributions won’t reduce your tax but can still grow your super balance.
7️⃣ Check your fund details
Incorrect member numbers or details can delay processing — and cost you the deduction.
8️⃣ Review your total super balance
This can impact your eligibility for certain contribution strategies.
9️⃣ Don’t forget employer obligations
Ensure super guarantee payments are up to date to avoid penalties.
🔟 Get advice before acting
Super rules can be complex, and mistakes are hard to reverse.

The Australian Taxation Office is strict on timing — if contributions aren’t received by 30 June, they generally won’t count for this financial year.

EOFY is your last chance to act — but only if you get the details right.

Need help working out what strategy makes sense for you? Now’s the time to check.

The more successful your business becomes… the more you get targeted.

We’re seeing more scams targeting growing businesses, including:

• Fake supplier bank detail changes
• ATO impersonation emails
• Payroll redirection requests
• Fake finance offers

These emails look real. That’s the problem.

One wrong payment could cost tens of thousands.

Always double check bank detail changes by phone.

Federal Budget 2026 — some of the biggest tax changes in years… but not so fast 👇

There are major tax changes being proposed, including:

• Changes to negative gearing
• Removal of the 50% CGT discount
• A 30% minimum tax on family trusts
• A new $1,000 instant deduction
• A $250 tax offset for workers

But here’s what matters 👇

👉 These are NOT yet law
👉 They still need to pass Parliament
👉 And they may change

If they do go ahead, they could significantly impact:

• Property investors
• Family trust structures
• Long-term tax planning

The direction is clear:

Less flexibility. More structure. More planning required.

👉 We’ve broken it all down in plain English in our latest blog.

We hear this from new clients all the time.

At $500k+ turnover, that’s not enough anymore.

Things move too fast:
• Cash flow changes monthly
• Tax obligations increase
• Decisions carry more weight
You shouldn’t be guessing your position.
You should understand it.

Your accountant should help you stay ahead, not just lodge your return.
