Tax planning is an area of business that’s often overlooked.
Taking the time to plan for tax is simply smart business management. With an experienced accountant, it doesn’t take long, and can have a significant impact on your annual business strategy and cash flow.
Business tax planning should inform the decisions you need to make throughout the year as you invest in assets, staff and new opportunities. It involves things like deciding on when to invoice, when to purchase new equipment, or how to choose the right business structure.
Without a clear tax plan your business runs the risk of cash flow issues, non-compliance with the ATO and not being able act on great opportunities as they come up.
At creditte, we meet with our clients before the start of the new financial year to develop a clear tax plan for you in the short-term (1 year) and long-term. We’re also available to you throughout the year to setup, advise and walk you through your business tax strategy.

Frequently asked questions
What is business tax planning?
Business tax planning is a process to minimise the amount of tax that you have to pay for your income, wealth and assets. In simple words, it is a plan that helps you minimise your tax and maximise your wealth. It involves using the available tax deductions and tax offsets in your favour.
Tax planning also helps facilitate the process of corporate restructuring in ways in which various entities are used to achieve maximum benefits in terms of tax savings.
We think tax planning is one of the most important things that a business owner should be working with their accountant on. Tax planning assists you through effective strategies that could reduce your overall tax payable while growing your net worth.
When should I be doing tax planning?
For most of our clients, the ideal time is in May or June in the lead up to the end of the financial year. By the time the end of the financial year has arrived, it’s actually too late to make any real significant changes to your net tax outcome. However, by working with an accountant throughout the year – one who understands your business and financials – you’ll benefit from effective strategies that can minimise your overall tax payable while growing your net worth.
These strategies need to be maintained, reassessed, and monitored throughout your business journey as circumstances, tax legislation and compliance responsibilities change every year.
What is a prepaid expense?
A prepaid expense is an expenditure you incur under an agreement for something to be done (in whole or in part) in a later income year. Classic examples of this are insurances and subscriptions.
A prepaid expense may be immediately deductible if:
- it is considered ‘excluded expenditure’
- ‘the 12-month rule’ applies
