Some income is earned through the structure of a business. Other income is earned through the personal effort and skills of an individual, and that distinction matters for tax.

Personal Services Income (PSI) rules can apply across a wide range of occupations, from trades to professions, and the tax consequences can be significant. Understanding whether your income is considered PSI is the first step to staying compliant.

💬 Read our latest blog to learn more about PSI and how the rules may apply to you.

There’s a clear line between tax planning and tax evasion, but it’s not always well understood.

While tax evasion is illegal, legitimate tax planning is about making informed decisions within the law to manage obligations and improve outcomes. For companies, knowing the difference is essential.

When tax law isn’t black and white, a Reasonably Arguable Position Paper (RAPP) can help protect your position.

Prepared by our specialist advisors, these papers provide a well-supported interpretation of complex tax issues. In the event of an ATO review, a RAPP can be the difference between a dispute and a defensible outcome, especially in high-value or uncertain transactions.

Get in touch with our specialist tax advisors to discuss whether a RAPP is right for your situation.

The way your business is structured plays a critical role in how it grows, protects assets, and manages tax. As circumstances change, your current setup might no longer serve your long-term goals.

Whether you're expanding, taking on new partners, or planning for succession, a restructure could offer the flexibility and protection you need moving forward.

💬 Read our latest blog to explore when a restructure might be right and how our team can support the process from start to finish.

Employee or contractor? It’s a distinction that continues to raise questions and the outcome has significant tax implications.

Two key ATO documents, Taxation Ruling TR 2023/4 and Practical Compliance Guideline PCG 2023/2, outline the current approach to determining whether an individual is engaged as an employee or as an independent contractor.

💬 Read our latest blog for a clear overview of the ATO’s guidance and what it means for your business.
