Tax planning season is open at Vision Consulting Group.

The 2026 Federal Budget handed down on 12 May introduced significant changes to how family trusts, capital gains, and investment properties are taxed. Some of these changes start from 1 July 2027, which means the decisions you make before 30 June this year matter more than ever.

If you have a family trust, hold investment property, or are planning to sell an asset in the next two years, now is the time to sit down with us.

We have introduced a new Trust Structure Review service this year, specifically to help our trust clients plan ahead of the 2028 minimum trust tax announcement.

Calendar spots are filling quickly from mid-May onwards. Meetings available in person at our Carlton office or via Zoom or Teams.

Call us on (03) 9387 6444 or email [email protected] to book your meeting.

⚠️ FBT year-end is 31 March — 4 days away.

If your business provides company cars, meals, entertainment, or salary packaging benefits to employees, the clock is ticking.

The Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) year runs 1 April to 31 March — and missing your obligations can lead to unexpected costs and unwanted ATO attention.

Here's what our team can do for you:
✔️ Review your FBT exposure
✔️ Identify potential exemptions
✔️ Prepare and lodge your FBT return
✔️ Keep you fully compliant

📅 Note: FBT returns are due 21 May 2026 — so even if 31 March has passed, there's still time to get sorted before the lodgment deadline.

Don't leave it until the last minute.

As we get closer to the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to prepare whether you’re a business owner or looking after your personal tax obligations.

Here’s what you can do now to make January easier:

For Business Owners:
Heading away for a break?

This time of year can be tough on small businesses — expenses continue, clients go on holiday, and cashflow can take a hit.

Here’s how to stay financially steady:

• Invoice early – Send invoices now or ahead of time
• Chase payments – Follow up debtors before everyone switches off
• Talk to suppliers – Negotiate flexibility or extended payment terms
• Review costs – Check payroll, subscriptions, upcoming expenses
• Speak to your bank or the ATO early if cashflow will be tight

For Individuals:
Getting organised now makes next year smoother:

• Sort and store receipts
• Review your income statement
• Check private health insurance details
• Gather documentation for deductions
• Plan ahead for upcoming ATO obligations

A little preparation now means less stress later — and more time to enjoy the holidays. 🎄✨

If you’d like personalised guidance or want us to look over your situation before the year ends, we’re here to help.

📩 Send us a message to book a quick Year-End Check-In.

Let’s start the new year organised, confident and compliant.
