How We Work With You

Understand Your Position

We start by getting to know your full financial picture, including your income sources, investments, property, and goals. Working directly from your cloud accounting data in Xero makes this fast and accurate. The more we understand about where you are and where you want to be, the more tailored and effective your plan will be.

Build Your Strategy

Towards the end of the financial year especially, we identify legitimate ways to reduce your tax, from timing deductions and managing capital gains to making the most of available offsets and concessions. We explain each option in plain language so you can decide what fits.

Review and Adjust

Your circumstances change, and so should your plan. We check in regularly, update your strategy as tax rules and your life evolve, and make sure you stay on track all year, not just at lodgement time.

Good tax planning makes it easier to manage your money and make the most of it. Instead of finding out what you owe once the year's over, we work with you ahead of time to structure your income, investments, and deductions tax-effectively. No nasty surprises, no missed opportunities.

What Our Individual Tax Planning Includes

Tax Minimisation Strategies

We find legitimate ways to cut your tax, from timing income and deductions to structuring investments tax-effectively, all within ATO rules.

Investment and Rental Planning

For property investors and shareholders, we plan around negative gearing, capital gains timing, and the deductions that apply, so your investments work harder after tax.

Capital Gains Planning

Before you sell property, shares, or other assets, we model the tax impact and help you time the sale to apply the 50% CGT discount where you're eligible.

Superannuation and SMSF Strategies

We show how concessional and non-concessional contributions, including through an SMSF, can build your retirement savings tax-effectively within the annual caps.

Income and Cashflow Forecasting

We forecast your likely tax position so you can set money aside with confidence and avoid a surprise bill at lodgement.

Wealth, Trusts and Succession

Beyond the current year, we advise on building wealth, using family trusts where suitable, and succession planning, so what you've built is protected and passed on tax-effectively.

Tax Planning Facts for Australians

Plan before 30 JuneThe financial year ends 30 June. The best planning happens before then, while you can still act. After that, your options narrow.
Marginal tax rates2025-26 resident rates step up at 16%, 30%, 37%, and 45% as income rises, plus the 2% Medicare levy. Your marginal rate is the starting point for any strategy.
Capital gains timingHold an asset more than 12 months and you generally qualify for the 50% CGT discount. Timing a sale of property or shares can make a real difference.
Super contributionsConcessional super contributions, including through an SMSF where suitable, are a tax-effective way to build retirement savings within the annual caps.
Deductions and offsetsPlanning lets you bring forward deductible expenses, prepay where it makes sense, and claim every offset you qualify for.
Legitimate, not riskyGood planning uses the rules as intended and never bends them. As registered tax agents, every strategy keeps you compliant with the ATO.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I do my tax planning?

Before 30 June. The Australian financial year ends on 30 June, and the most effective planning happens before that date while you can still act on it. Once the year closes, your options narrow significantly.

How is tax planning different from a tax return?

A tax return looks backward and reports what already happened. Tax planning looks forward: we structure your income, investments, and deductions ahead of time so you legally pay less and aren't caught out by a surprise bill.

Can you help me reduce capital gains tax?

Yes. Before you sell property, shares, or other assets, we model the tax impact and help you time the sale and apply the 50% CGT discount where you're eligible, generally on assets held more than 12 months.

Is tax planning only for high earners?

No. Anyone with investments, a rental property, a growing income, or plans for their wealth benefits from planning ahead. The higher your marginal rate, the more a good strategy is worth, but the principles apply broadly.

Are these strategies legitimate?

Yes. Good tax planning uses the rules as they're intended, it never bends them. As registered tax agents, every strategy we recommend keeps you compliant with the ATO.

Do you help with superannuation and SMSFs?

Yes. We help you understand how concessional and non-concessional contributions, including through an SMSF where appropriate, can build your retirement savings tax-effectively within the annual caps that apply.

I have been using Simply Tax Solutions for approximately 14 years. I continue to use them even though I have moved some distance away, as they continue to look after my accountancy needs in a professional and reliable way. Their fees are very reasonable as well.
