Industrial

Running an industrial business involves navigating a complex landscape of financial management, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Industrial businesses face unique challenges such as managing large-scale assets, purchasing and maintaining expensive machinery, handling depreciation and tax deductions, and ensuring accurate stock management—all of which can present significant accounting challenges. Additionally, the structuring of warehouse purchases and the use of SMSFs (Self-Managed Super Funds) for owning warehouses often lead to compliance risks if not managed correctly. Understanding and complying with Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) requirements, particularly when allocating motor vehicles to team members or sales representatives, adds another layer of complexity.

At Investax, we understand these unique challenges and offer specialized accounting and advisory services tailored to the needs of industrial businesses. With our extensive experience, we provide comprehensive support in asset management, tax planning, and compliance with FBT and SMSF regulations. Our goal is to ensure your industrial business operates smoothly, meets all regulatory requirements, and is strategically positioned for long-term success.

Trades

Tradespeople often start their careers as apprentices, gradually progressing to independent contractors and eventually running their own businesses. This journey typically begins with operating as a sole trader, and as they grow, they might start hiring apprentices and eventually form a company if advised by their accountant. However, many tradespeople do not think about long-term business planning or structure planning, often relying on accountants who specialize in individual and contractor tax returns. While tradespeople are typically loyal to their accountants, this loyalty can sometimes lead to receiving inadequate business and tax advice, which can cost them more in the long run.

Primary Producers

Primary production businesses are the backbone of Australia’s economy, supplying essential food and resources both domestically and internationally. However, these businesses face unique and significant challenges, including fluctuating income due to natural disasters like floods, disease outbreaks affecting livestock, and export bans from key markets such as China. Despite these challenges, primary producers are some of the most hardworking and loyal individuals in Australia. Once they choose an accountant or service provider, they tend to stick with them, even if they are not receiving the right advice.

This loyalty, while admirable, can sometimes prevent primary producers from receiving the best possible financial guidance. For example, the Farm Management Deposit Scheme (FMDS) allows primary producers to deposit up to $800,000 into a dedicated account, offering a significant tax deduction. However, not all accountants are familiar with such schemes, and inexperienced advice could lead to missed opportunities for substantial tax savings.

Medical Practice

Managing a successful medical practice involves more than just providing quality care to patients; it also requires navigating the complexities of running a business. Medical practitioners face unique challenges in managing their practices, from tax compliance and financial management to optimizing business structures for growth and succession planning. Without the right support, these challenges can impede the practice’s success and profitability.

Investax has extensive experience in helping medical practitioners optimize their medical practices. By implementing the right business structures, accounting treatments, and financial strategies, we ensure that medical practices are not only compliant with regulations but also positioned for sustainable growth and profitability.

How Investax Can Help

Business Structure

Most medical practitioners lack the time to fully understand the complexities of business structure and often rely on their accountants to establish it. Using an inexperienced accountant can lead to significant future costs if the structure needs to be corrected.

Investax will revisit your current business structure, providing expert advice to ensure it aligns with your long-term goals and maximizes tax efficiency. Our experience ensures that your business structure is set up correctly from the start, avoiding costly issues in the future.

Business Premises Purchase

Purchasing business premises for a medical practice involves significant financial considerations, as well as asset protection strategies.

Investax provides tailored solutions for medical practitioners looking to purchase their practice premises, ensuring that the acquisition is structured for optimal asset protection and tax efficiency.

Asset Protection

Medical practitioners face risks such as litigation, malpractice claims, and business liabilities that could threaten their personal and business assets.

Investax offers comprehensive asset protection strategies to shield your medical practice and personal assets from potential legal and financial risks. By structuring your assets effectively, we help ensure that your wealth is secure, and your practice remains financially stable.

Tax Compliance

Medical practices must navigate complex tax regulations, including GST, income tax obligations, and payroll tax, which has become a significant concern due to recent cases where state revenue offices have treated contractors as employees, leading to additional tax liabilities.

Investax provides comprehensive tax planning and compliance services, including advice on managing payroll tax risks and ensuring your medical practice meets all tax obligations while optimizing tax outcomes.

Payroll and Superannuation Management

Managing payroll for medical staff, including doctors, nurses, and administrative personnel, requires adherence to complex award rates and superannuation regulations.
