How to stay up to date this tax planning season?
Do you feel ready to navigate the complexities of this year’s tax planning season to keep your clients informed and protected?
Amidst such a busy time, how do you keep clients informed about their tax position and audit risk profile? The ATO has made it clear that your advice needs to be documented and contemporaneous – how will you record this?
One of the simplest and most practical ways to reduce client risk is through early tax planning. By sitting down with your clients in March and mapping out their tax planning scenarios, you’ll not only be able to better support your clients, reduce their tax and protect their assets, but you’ll be increasing your firm profits as well.
At ChangeGPS we give accountants the tools and resources to deliver elegant, efficient and de-risked advice, through TaxPlan Advanced.
How is TaxPlan Advanced different to
Taxplan Pro?
Based on TaxPlan Pro, TaxPlan Advanced offers additional reports to communicate complex ATO Professional Compliance Guidance updates including:
Professional Firm Profit Tax Advice Report
Produce Tax Advice for Professional Firm clients (ie. doctors, accountants, lawyers) to establish the tax payable vs audit risk profile the client is comfortable with in light of the ATO's PCG 2021/4.
S100A Trust Distribution Advice Report
Produce an advice report to outline the impact of the s100A guidelines which changes the way profits from a Discretionary Trust (also known as a Family Trust) can be allocated. For clients with a discretionary Trust, you need to provide this advice report to inform them of the new TR tax ruling – which will impact how they distribute to their trustees.
Educate your Clients
Clients don’t always know what tax planning is and how it benefits them. Use our VPP emails to clearly demonstrate the Value, Plan and Price and stop ‘Quick Tax Chats’ before they begin.
Stay Compliant
De-risk your practice and help your clients make educated decisions about their level of risk when it comes to tax planning.
Increase Service Delivery
Expand your service offering with ChangeGPS. Educate clients on tax planning adjacent services like Asset Protection.
