We get asked this a lot, especially from people who've been doing their own returns for years and aren't sure if it's worth switching.

The honest answer: it depends on how complex your situation is. And that complexity tends to grow quietly, a new investment property, a second ABN, employing your first person, without anyone flagging that your return just got a lot more involved.

If you're not sure where you sit, that's exactly the kind of question we answer at a first consultation.

If you hold assets or run your business through a discretionary trust — the 2026 Federal Budget has proposed changes that may affect how trust income is taxed from 1 July 2028. 🏛️

The headline: a proposed 30% minimum tax on discretionary trust taxable income. Beneficiaries (other than companies) would receive non-refundable credits.

Importantly — fixed trusts, super funds, special disability trusts and deceased estates are not affected.

There's also proposed restructure relief from 2027 to 2030, allowing small businesses to move out of discretionary trusts into companies or other entities.

If you hold assets or run your business through a discretionary trust, the 2026 Federal Budget has proposed changes that may affect how trust income is taxed from 1 July 2028. 🏛️cturing decisions until the legislation is confirmed and you've received tailored advice.

We'll be in touch with our clients as the detail becomes clear. If you have questions in the meantime, book a consultation.

Tax time isn't just about lodging a return. It's the best moment in the year to stop and ask: is the way I've structured my business still working for me?

We see it regularly — businesses that have genuinely grown, but are still operating under a structure that made sense when they started. That mismatch can mean paying more tax than necessary, or carrying personal risk that a company or trust structure would protect against.

If you've had a good year — this is the conversation to have before 30 June.

Hospitality owners work some of the longest hours of anyone we see. Tax time shouldn't add to that stress.

We've worked with cafés, restaurants, and bars across the Gold Coast and the same question comes up every year: ""Can I claim that?""

Usually, yes. But only if it's documented.

If you're heading into a busy winter season and haven't thought about your tax position yet, May is the right time to sort it.

Here's to you both, happy birthday Brett and Stephan, from the whole CSC team. 🎉🥂

Most people think of tax time as a July problem. After 30 years in accounting, I can tell you, the best outcomes happen when you act in May.

Once 30 June passes, the year is locked in. But right now? There's still time to make decisions that genuinely affect what you pay.

Whether it's timing a purchase, reviewing your super, or just understanding where you stand, this is the conversation worth having now.

May is quietly one of the most deadline-heavy months on the tax calendar, and it catches a lot of business owners off guard. 📋

Activity statements, FBT, super obligations, NFP returns, they all land within a few weeks of each other.

Save this carousel and use it as your May compliance checklist. Share it with your bookkeeper or business partner if it's useful.

And if you're looking at this and realising something may have already slipped, don't wait. The earlier you get in touch, the more options you have.

With the current volatile economic climate and cost of living pressures, proper tax planning is more important than ever." - our Partner at CSC Accountants, Brett Shepeard

Timely tax planning can save you tens of thousands of dollars. 💰 But it goes beyond just saving, it gives you the clarity to budget for estimated liabilities instead of being hit with large, unexpected bills.

We see it regularly. Business owners who plan early are in control. Those who don't are often left reacting.

Organising a formal tax planning meeting with your accountant is one of the best value actions you can take for your business right now. 📅

If you haven't had that conversation yet, this is your sign.

You've built something valuable. But can it operate without you? 🤔

We recently worked with a business owner who had a profitable, stable company - but no clear plan for what came next.

As they started thinking about stepping back, the gaps became obvious:
❌ No defined successor
❌ No structured timeline
❌ No plan for how ownership would be transferred

We see succession planning left too late all the time. The result is rushed decisions, tax inefficiencies, and a loss of the very value you've worked so hard to build.

With the right structure in place, you can protect what you've built and control how your business evolves on your terms.

If you haven't reviewed your succession plan - now is the time to start. 📅
