The Strategy of Business Structure
The way that you structure your business can influence everything from tax to HR; it’s important to get it right from the start. Rock Oak can help you to navigate the Australian Tax Landscape with confidence, unravelling the mystique of tax structures, and choosing the right business set up.
Demystifying Tax: Taxes – we all have to deal with them, but they can often seem as intricate as a game of chess. With different tax structures available in Australia, how do you know which one is the right fit for your enterprise? Fear not! We're here to help illuminate the path, explaining the ins and outs of Australia's various tax structures.
Sole Trader Simplicity: Want to keep things easy? Being a sole trader means you're the only person responsible for your business. You’ll be taxed at individual income rates, and your business income is considered your personal income. It's simplicity personified – and you could benefit from lower tax rates than other structures.
Partnerships: Strength in Numbers: Ready to share the reins? In a partnership, your business income (or losses) is shared. Each partner pays tax on their share of the net partnership income at individual rates. Plus, a partnership allows for more hands on deck, meaning you can enjoy the camaraderie while growing your enterprise.
Companies: Unleash the Power of Corporate Structure: Looking for lower tax rates and greater business credibility? Consider establishing a company. Companies are taxed at a flat corporate tax rate, separate from personal income tax. This structure might provide tax benefits, especially as your profits grow.
Trusts: Sophistication & Flexibility: Want to give yourself the option to distribute income among beneficiaries in the most tax-effective way? Trusts can offer tax advantages, flexibility, and asset protection. While this structure may seem more complex, it can offer unique benefits and potentials for tax minimization.
