If you own a small business, this will be one of the most important \u2013 and hectic \u2013 periods in the business calendar. It\u2019s when you\u2019ll be filing your taxes, filling in financial documents and preparing your business for a new fiscal year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a small business owner, prepare by familiarising yourself with answers to questions like \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/au\/taxes\/end-of-financial-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is the end of financial year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u2019, understanding your legal requirements, and adapting some additional best practices. It\u2019s also vital to work with a reliable tax specialist, as it\u2019s unlikely you can do everything you need to on your own, even if you are a number\u2019s whizz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019ll take a look at some helpful tips every small business owner should keep in mind as the end of financial year approaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Your Documents In Order<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the end of financial year, your company is required by the government to submit certain financial documents and lodge various taxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main financial documents you\u2019ll need to prepare before the end of financial year is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/business.gov.au\/finance\/financial-tools-and-templates\/set-up-a-profit-and-loss-statement\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a profit and loss statement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A P&amp;L statement is essentially a record of how much money you\u2019ve made over the financial year minus your operating expenses. Your profits will be made up of the sales you\u2019ve made, while your losses will include the cost of goods sold, utilities, rent, wages paid to employees and other related costs. The final amount is your net profit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end of the financial year is also when you need to file your taxes. This includes capital gains taxes on non-asset sales, a goods and services tax (GST), a fringe benefits tax and other taxes that may apply to your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to get these in on time to avoid having to pay a failure to lodge (FTL) penalty, which scales every month you fail to file your taxes after the deadline. That\u2019s not to mention the potential legal consequences your business may have to face, which is why it\u2019s such a good idea to get ahead of the curve so you\u2019re ready to go once June 30th arrives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avail All Possible Tax Deductions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a small business, every penny counts. To promote the growth of new businesses, the Australian government has made several tax provisions specific to smaller businesses, so be sure to read up on what these are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, small businesses turning over less than $50 million annually are eligible for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/income-deductions-and-concessions\/income-and-deductions-for-business\/deductions\/small-business-skills-and-training-boost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20% tax deduction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on certain training costs delivered by registered providers. These costs need to be spent on company employees, and training providers need to fulfil certain registration requirements. Small businesses can also apply for tax deductions on specific technological expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other tax deductions applicable to businesses of all sizes. For instance, your company can get tax deductions on a wide range of\u00a0 expenses, provided you\u2019ve kept detailed records of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These can include receipts, invoices, vehicle registration records, accommodation and transport reservations for work-related trips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hire A Tax Specialist<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a small business, the end of financial year can feel overwhelming. This is why it\u2019s highly recommended to work with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/geelongtimes\/news\/get-the-level-of-support-your-business-needs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local tax specialists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who will handle tasks like computing your tax returns and figuring out what tax deductions your business qualifies for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to hire a tax agent who is registered with the Tax Practitioners Board. There are plenty of tax-related scams out there, especially during this time of year. Read up on potential tax agents\u2019 past work, visit their physical offices and meet them face-to-face before deciding who to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses are dealing with a lot more money when it comes to tax return time than personal accounts, so scammers will be quick to target small enterprises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Your Business Ready For The Next Financial Year<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end of the financial year is a great time to take a step back and re-evaluate where you are as a business. This is especially important for small businesses, as there are likely more large-scale changes of direction during this rapid development stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, evaluate your leadership processes. What\u2019s worked, what hasn\u2019t? Is there any way to streamline decision-making without sacrificing accuracy? Are there positions that need to be filled?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to take a closer look at individual departments within your organisation. For instance, do you need to hire a larger accounting team to make the end of the financial year less stressful? Are you allocating marketing spend between online ads, SEO, physical advertising and others in the most efficient way possible? Does your brand still speak to your customers, or do you need an overhaul?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answer these questions and more to ensure business success moving into the new financial year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end of financial year is certainly hectic, but it doesn\u2019t need to be overly stressful. Familiarising yourself with all the documents you need to submit, and working with a reliable tax specialist goes a long way in ensuring your small business makes the most of this key financial period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following the tips laid out in this article, you\u2019ll be setting your business up for a successful and stress-free end of financial year 2024, and onto a great 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The end of the financial year is almost here.
