Whether you’re an employee, contractor, or business owner with personal income, July is all about getting your return right — not rushed.

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to maximise your refund, avoid common mistakes, and stay on the ATO’s good side.

It’s June — and the EOFY clock is ticking.

If you haven’t done much tax planning yet, you’re not alone. This is the time of year where many business owners suddenly realise:

• “I should probably look at my numbers…”

• “How much tax am I actually up for?”

• “Is there anything I can still do?”

The good news?
Yes — there are still things you can do before 30 June.

By May, EOFY is no longer “coming up”… it’s right around the corner.

At this point, most business owners fall into one of two camps:

• They haven’t looked at their numbers yet

• They’ve looked… and didn’t like what they saw

If that’s you, don’t stress — there’s still time to act.

Most people leave tax planning until late June (or worse… after the fact). By then, your options are limited, and you’re often stuck paying more tax than necessary.

The reality? The best tax planning happens now — in April and May — when you still have time to take action.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through what you should be doing right now to reduce tax, stay compliant, and avoid the EOFY scramble.
