The Federal Budget - Business Tax Measures
Given the economic backdrop and the drop in revenue collections, it is little surprise that the Government has refrained from introducing major tax reform initiatives in this year's Budget.

Federal Budget - Spending Measures
Overall, we have seen in this Budget significant and welcomed spending on skills and workplace participation as well as new investment in regional infrastructure.

Business Tax Planning Strategies
The end of the 2010 - 11 financial year is almost here so now is the time to review what strategies you can use to legitimately minimise your tax.

Geared Investments
Borrowing money to fund an asset purchase is a familiar concept; most commonly a car, a home or an investment property. Gearing is simply another term for borrowing against an investment.
