How Investax Can Help

Business Structure Setup and Compliance

Setting up a real estate business requires careful consideration of the business structure to ensure compliance with licensing regulations and optimize tax efficiency.

Investax has extensive experience in establishing real estate business structures that meet all regulatory requirements while providing the flexibility needed for growth. We ensure your business is structured correctly from the outset, minimizing future risks and maximizing tax benefits.

Trust Account Auditing

Real estate businesses are required to maintain trust accounts that comply with strict regulatory requirements. Failure to meet these requirements can lead to penalties, loss of license, or other legal issues.

Investax provides thorough trust account auditing services, ensuring that your trust accounts meet all regulatory requirements. We help you stay compliant with licensing laws, protecting your business and your clients.

Asset Protection

Real estate businesses face significant risks, including potential litigation from clients, trades people, making asset protection a critical concern. Without proper asset protection, personal and business assets could be vulnerable.

Investax offers comprehensive asset protection strategies, including the implementation of trusts and other legal structures, to safeguard your assets from potential legal and financial risks. We help ensure that your wealth and business are protected.

Tax Compliance and Planning

Real estate businesses have complex tax obligations, including income tax, GST, Payroll Tax, and Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). Non-compliance or inefficient tax planning can lead to higher tax liabilities and penalties.

Investax provides expert tax compliance and planning services tailored to real estate businesses. We help you navigate complex tax regulations, optimize your tax position, manage Payroll Tax and FBT obligations, and ensure all compliance requirements are met.

Asset Management and Depreciation

Real estate businesses often invest in significant assets, such as office space, technology, and property. Managing these assets effectively is crucial for both operational efficiency and tax purposes.

Investax helps you manage and track your business’s assets, ensuring proper depreciation and maximizing tax deductions. We provide guidance on asset management strategies that align with your business’s long-term goals.

Tax Deductions and Incentives

Identifying and claiming all eligible tax deductions is crucial for minimizing tax liability. However, real estate businesses may overlook deductions and incentives that could significantly reduce their tax burden.

Investax ensures that your real estate business takes full advantage of all available tax deductions and incentives. We review your financials to identify opportunities for savings and implement strategies that optimize your tax position.

Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) Management

Providing benefits to employees, such as cars, entertainment, or other perks, may trigger Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), adding to your tax obligations. Managing FBT correctly is essential to avoid unnecessary costs.

Investax helps manage and minimize your FBT liabilities by advising on the most tax-efficient ways to provide benefits to employees. We ensure that your FBT reporting is accurate and compliant with ATO requirements.

Payroll Tax Compliance

Payroll Tax can be a significant burden for real estate businesses, especially as your business grows and your payroll increases. Ensuring compliance with varying state requirements is essential.

Investax assists in managing Payroll Tax obligations by providing accurate payroll processing, advising on state-specific requirements, and implementing strategies to minimize your Payroll Tax burden.

Financial Reporting and Analysis

Accurate financial reporting is essential for understanding your business’s performance, making informed decisions, and maintaining compliance with regulatory bodies.

Investax provides detailed financial reporting and analysis services, helping you track your business’s financial health, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions. We ensure that your financial statements are accurate, timely, and compliant with all legal requirements.

Exit Strategy and Succession Planning

Planning for the future, whether it involves selling your real estate business or passing it on to the next generation, requires careful consideration of Capital Gain Tax (CGT) implications and business continuity.

Investax offers tailored exit strategies and succession planning services that minimize CGT tax liability and ensure a smooth transition. We work with you to develop a strategy that protects your legacy and secures the financial future of your business.
