We are accountants for trades people. We understand your business, the unique demand and taxation obligations that businesses in the building and construction industry are faced with.
The long hours and physical demands associated with the trades, often means the small business owner doesn't get around to giving attention to their accounting and taxation obligations.
Our helpful and professional team at Tax Concepts are here to ease the demands, and to help you manage your taxation matters to ensure you don't pay too much tax or miss legislative requirements.
In the 2011-12 federal budget, the government announced a new requirement by certain businesses to report annually to the ATO on payments made to contractors in the building and construction industry.
Failing to adequately prepare for tax obligations can cause problems with your business cash flow at certain times of the year. Contact us as your preferred accountant for trades people, for professional advice and expertise.
Software selection seems to be another major hurdle for tradespeople. Too often we find plumbers, carpenters and electricians using accounting software beyond their business needs and level of accounting skill. This usually leads to considerable frustration and records that amount to nothing more than a 'computerised shoebox'.
With so many software packages on the market, it is easy to become confused and make the wrong decision. They range in functionality and sophistication with a price tag to match! Our first step with new clients in the trades, is to review their business needs and level of accounting skill.
If you don't understand double entry accounting including debits, credits and journal entries, then you'll probably struggle to cope with
higher end programs without undergoing extensive training. If you just need to track your receipts, payments and GST, we recommend MYOB. It
lets you generate tax invoices, monitor debtors and produce monthly statements and budgets. If you employ staff you can purchase the add-on
wages module.
