During my career in the finance and accounting industries, I can’t tell you the amount of people I’ve come across who absolutely dread tax time and put off getting their taxes completed.
Those who try to complete their tax return on their own often find the task daunting. The language is baffling and the rules are confusing. Tax filing preparation, especially for businesses requires the collation and collection of many source documents. If compiling all this information for the accountant or bookkeeper is left to the end of financial year or even last lodgement date, you run the risk of making critical errors. Leaving it to the last minute often makes people feel confused and frustrated.
I believe most, if not all of this confusion and frustration stems from a lack of knowledge and common misconceptions of the taxation system. Clients seem to be unsure of deadlines and due dates of lodgements and payments. It’s also extremely common for clients to be completely unaware of expenses that can be claimed.
Whilst Unique Lifestyle Management keeps informed and updated with all tax legislation, including tax deductions for all current years, your accountant will advise of the deductions you can claim in your tax return.
We will work with your accountant to ensure all deductions are specific to your industry.

To avoid the end of year financial mad rush you should start taking action now as 30th June comes upon us quite quickly. Unique Lifestyle Management recommends that all businesses be organized as early as possible.
