April – June 2024 – End of Year & Tax Planning

We will be touching base with our Tax Planning clients in early April to get started on our annual tax planning process. Tax Planning is very important as it can help make you aware of you upcoming tax liabilities and also gives you an opportunity to implement strategies that can help you reduce your tax implications. The earlier we are able to complete your tax planning the better, as this gives you ample time to review your options and implement any strategies before 30 June. As such, we do ask our Tax Planning clients to have their year-to-date information (1 July 2023 – 30 April) up to date in their accounting software so that we can complete our tax planning calculations when the time comes.
