At AV, we wear many hats!!

Everyone knows us for tax returns and BAS, but that's just the surface!

We also help with business valuations (sale, buyout, family law), estate planning, SMSFs from setup to wind-up, workers comp declarations, and even auditing trust accounts for real estate agents and solicitors 📋

Basically, if it involves numbers, compliance, or "who do I even ask about this," there's a good chance we can help 🙌

"Am I paying more tax than I need to?" It's one of the most common questions we get asked. 🤔

And the honest answer? A lot of people are.

Missed deductions, outdated structures and not planning ahead are some of the biggest reasons small business owners end up paying more tax than they should.

A regular review of your tax position helps make sure all eligible deductions, offsets and concessions are being applied correctly.

If it's been a while since you had a proper look, it's worth the conversation.

A little good news for your pocket! 🙌

From 1 July 2026, the tax rate on income between $18,201 and $45,000 dropped from 16% to 15%.

On its own it's a modest saving. Combined with the right planning - your structure, your super, your deductions - it can make a meaningful difference to your bottom line.

New rates are the perfect prompt to review your overall tax position. If it's been a while, give us a call.

Super contribution caps just went up!

From 1 July 2026:
✅ Tax-deductible (concessional) contributions: now $32,500 per year
✅ Personal after-tax (non-concessional) contributions: now $130,000 per year

Money inside super grows in a low-tax environment, and the earlier it goes in, the harder it compounds. If you've been thinking about topping up, the new caps give you more room this year.

Super gets complex quickly once income, age and balances come into it. We can help you work out which strategies make sense for your situation.

We're happy to chat!

Tony's traded the calculator for a judge's gavel 👨‍⚖️

Today he's playing ATO, and nobody's claim is safe! Watch him decide who's getting approved and who's getting very, very audited 😅

Comment your most questionable tax claim attempt below. We won't tell the ATO 🤐
