Many businesses have been hit hard by COVID-19 over the past year; especially those in the hospitality and tourism industry. However, many businesses have also thrived during this period, whether it be by changing their business model, their business suddenly becoming an essential service, or updating their technology to become more future proof.
As we head into tax planning season, we wish to remind our clients that whatever category your business fits under, please know we are here to assist you with downsizing & planning for retirement or restructuring your business for growth.

- Determine dividend payment opportunities and distribution of business profits
- Estimating your business and personal income tax positions
- Identifying strategies to minimise tax
- Having a “Planning Meeting” to discuss actions to implement prior to 30 June
