The Pitcher Partners 30 June 2011 year-end planning toolkit

Pitcher Partners has put together a comprehensive year-end tax planning toolkit, outlining a number of tax planning considerations (as well as tax compliance issues for consideration) for this 30 June 2011.

The document is split into various sections dealing with:

• Income
• Deductions
• Trusts
• Companies
• Partnerships
• Individuals
• CGT
• Finance issues
• International issues
• Superannuation
• Integrity provisions

Each section contains various ideas, a description of the idea and questions for consideration.

Please contact your Pitcher Partners representative or Roelof van der Merwe at roelof.vandermerwe@pitcher.com.au or (03) 8612 9246 for a short-form year-end checklist containing a summary of planning considerations for each of the different areas.

If any of the considerations are of interest (or are relevant) to you, or if you would like to discuss year-end tax planning considerations in more detail, we would be happy to work through our more comprehensive year-end tax planning toolkit with you.

Keeping you up to date
We run regular briefings for our clients to keep you are up to date on changes and offering the opportunity to raise questions on key issues at the time in which the legislation is being changed. It also gives an opportunity for clients to meet and discuss the issues at hand.

We also send regular tax updates to clients where there are areas of development in the law as a result of ATO Taxation Rulings or changes in legislation.
