How We Help

Tax planning that supports stronger business decisions

More than reducing a tax bill, tax planning gives you greater certainty over cash flow and your next move

Tax planning is the process of reviewing your financial position before the end of the financial year and identifyin glegitimate opportunities to manage your tax obligations.

It is not about shortcuts. It is about planning early enough to make choices that are appropriate for your circumstances, compliant with Australian tax law and aligned with the way you want to run your business.

At Vitas, we connect tax planning with your financial performance, business structure and future plans, spanning 3 key areas.
Understand Your Tax Position
Know where you stand before the end of the financial year, rather than waiting for a surprise after your return is prepared.
  • Tax forecasts: Estimate your likely company, trust or individual tax position.
  • Cash flow clarity: Plan for upcoming tax payments alongside payroll, debt and other commitments.
  • Early action: Give yourself time to consider options while they can still make a difference.
Planfor Legitimate Opportunities
Review relevant tax strategies based onyour business structure, profitability and circumstances.
  • Deductions & timing: Consider eligible deductions, prepayments and the timing of income and expenses.
  • Small business concessions: Review eligibility for applicable small business tax concessions.
  • Superannuation: Consider the tax and cashflow implications of eligible contributions
Connect Tax to Your Bigger Picture
Ensure tax decisions support your broader business and personal goals, not just the current year.
  • Business structures: Consider how your structure supports tax, growth and asset protection goals
  • Trust distributions: Plan distributions inaccordance with your trust deed and circumstances.
  • Investment decisions: Understand potential tax implications before significant purchases, sales or changes.
We manage your tax as carefully as we would manage our own. That means clear explanations, practical recommendations and no last-minute surprises where they can be avoided.
Why It Matters

Why plan for tax before the end of the financial year?

The earlier you understand your position, the more options you have

Waiting until your annual financial statements and tax return are being prepared can limit the actions available to you. A pre-year-end review gives you time to understand your projected tax position and consider appropriate strategies while there is still time to implement them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tax planning?

Tax planning is the process of reviewing your financial position before the end of the financial year to understand your likely tax obligations and consider legitimate strategies available to you. It helps you make decisions early, rather than reacting once the year has ended.

When should I start tax planning?

Tax planning is generally most useful before 30 June, when there is still time to act on relevant opportunities. The right timing depends on your business and circumstances, so it is worth starting the conversation well before year end.

How can tax planning help my business?

Tax planning can help you better understand your expected tax position, manage cash flow, consider eligible deductions and concessions, and assess the tax impact of business decisions. It supports informed planning, rather than last-minute reactions.

Can Vitas help with company and trust tax planning?

Yes. We provide tax planning support for companies, trusts, partnerships and business owners. We consider your structure, financial performance, cash flow and wider objectives when reviewing relevant options.

Can you help plan trust distributions?

Yes. We can assist with tax planning around trust income and distributions, subject to the trust deed and your circumstances. We will work with you to ensure decisions are appropriately documented and considered before relevant deadlines.

Does tax planning guarantee a lower tax bill?

Tax planning is designed to help identify legitimate opportunities to improve your tax position and, in many cases, reduce the tax you pay. While the outcome will depend on your circumstances, the timing of decisions and current tax rules, proactive tax planning is highly likely to result in a better-informed and more tax-effective outcome than leaving decisions until tax time.

It also helps you understand your obligations, manage cash flow and make decisions throughout the year that support your broader business and financial goals.

Can you help if I have an unexpected tax bill?

Yes. If you have received an unexpected tax bill, we can help you understand the position, review your cash flow and discuss possible next steps. Where appropriate, we can assist with communicating with the ATO about payment arrangements.

What information do I need for a tax planning meeting?

Useful information can include your year-to-date financial reports, projected income and expenses, planned asset purchases, superannuation contributions, trust or company information, and any material changes expected before year end. We will let you know what is relevant to your situation.
