3 Tax Considerations For a New Business

Updated: Friday July 21, 2023 tax

Starting a new business can be rewarding but has its fair share of challenges. One of the most important considerations you must remember is taxes. Failing to plan your tax strategy can lead to significant financial consequences. The top three considerations tax advisors discuss when starting a new business are here.

Minimising Your Tax Liability

Every business owner wants to minimise their tax liability. The good news is that there are several approaches you can use to achieve this goal. 

One of the most effective ways to minimise your tax liability is to take advantage of all the deductions and credits available. For example, you can deduct business expenses like rent, utilities, and office supplies from your taxable income. 

Tax Planning

Tax planning is another critical consideration when starting a new business. Tax planning involves working with a tax professional to create a customised tax strategy that meets your needs and goals. A good tax plan will help you minimise your tax liability while complying with all applicable tax laws and regulations.

When working with a tax advisor, finding someone who understands your business and can provide tailored advice and guidance is important. Look for a professional specialising in strategy and taxation services who has experience working with businesses like yours. They should help you navigate complex tax issues and identify opportunities for tax savings.

Focus on Service and Customer Satisfaction

Finally, focusing on service and customer satisfaction is important when starting a new business. Providing excellent service and ensuring that your customers are satisfied can help you build a loyal customer base and grow your business long-term. It can also have tax implications.

In addition to focusing on service and customer satisfaction, you’ll also want to consider how you set up your business. Depending on your goals and needs, consider a company setup, an SMSF setup, or a trust setup. Each structure has advantages and disadvantages, so working with a tax professional is important to determine which option is best for you.
