What are the benefits of tax planning for your business?⁠
⁠
Tax planning isn't something to think about once a year at EOFY, it's an ongoing strategy that can make a real difference to your bottom line.⁠

When done well, tax planning can help your business:⁠
- Reduce the amount of tax you pay⁠
- Avoid unexpected ATO penalties at year end⁠
- Improve cash flow by knowing what's coming⁠
- Make smarter decisions about when to spend or invest⁠
- Plan for growth, hiring, equipment, restructuring, at the right time⁠
⁠
The businesses that benefit most from tax planning aren't necessarily the biggest, they're the ones who stay across their position all year round, not just in June.⁠
⁠
A proactive approach means fewer surprises, better financial decisions, and more of your hard-earned money staying where it belongs, in your business.⁠
⁠

Lending money to a family member can strain even the strongest relationships, especially without a written agreement.⁠
⁠
Under Australian law, money given within certain family relationships (spouses, parents and children) is often presumed to be a gift. Without clear evidence it was meant as a loan, a court may decide you have no legal right to demand repayment.⁠
⁠
If you're trying to protect yourself from the start, a solid loan agreement should include:⁠
- The loan amount and repayment plan⁠
- An interest rate (even a small one signals seriousness)⁠
- Signatures from both parties, witnessed independently⁠
⁠
Already in a dispute? Mediation is often faster, cheaper, and less damaging to the relationship than going to court.⁠
⁠
If all else fails, our team at Greenhalgh Pickard has decades of experience in debt recovery and family disputes, and we understand the emotional toll these situations take.⁠
⁠
Call us on 07 5444 1022, for a free initial conversation.

The RBA has lifted the cash rate to 4.35%, the third rise this year.⁠
⁠
Interest rate changes don't just affect repayments, they influence how people plan, buy and make decisions about property.⁠
⁠
If you're in the middle of a purchase, or thinking about getting into the market, now is the time to make sure you fully understand your contract, your obligations, and the true cost of your commitment before you sign.⁠
⁠
The contract is permanent. The rush isn't.⁠

Our team is here to answer any of your questions, contact us on 07 5444 1022.

Here's your reminder that you need to do your divorce application even if you've already separated everything! ⁠
⁠
Many separated couples prioritise their property settlement first, especially when a home or mortgage is involved. Once finances are divided and everyone moves on, the divorce paperwork can sometimes be forgotten.⁠
⁠
However, leaving divorce unresolved for years can create unexpected legal complications later on, particularly when it comes to time limits for property or financial claims.⁠
⁠
Finalising both your property settlement and divorce can help ensure everything is properly resolved and reduce the risk of disputes down the track.⁠
⁠
If you’re unsure about the process after separation, seeking legal advice early can help clarify your options.
