What Does Tax Planning Include?

Tax planning is the process of organising your financial affairs to legally reduce the amount of tax you pay, now and in future years. It goes beyond lodging your annual return. A structured tax plan typically looks at your income sources, business structure, deductions, superannuation contributions, investment holdings, and timing of transactions. The goal is to put you in the most advantageous position before the end of each financial year, not after it has closed.


At J A Accounting & Tax Services, tax and accounting services can cover a broad range of planning areas, including:


  • Income-splitting and business structure review to manage your overall tax position.
  • Maximising deductions for work-related expenses, home office use, and depreciation.
  • Superannuation contribution strategies to reduce taxable income within ATO guidelines.
  • Capital Gains Tax planning for the sale of investment properties or business assets.
  • GST and BAS planning for businesses in Norwood and surrounding suburbs such as Kent Town, Kensington, and Rose Park.


Tax planning is a year-round activity, not just an end-of-June exercise.

Who Benefits From Tax Planning in Norwood?

Individuals and Salaried Professionals

Norwood, SA, 5067, is home to many professionals across healthcare, legal services, education, and hospitality along The Parade. Salaried employees often overlook legitimate deductions or miss contribution windows that could meaningfully reduce their tax liability each year.


Small Business Owners

Norwood and the surrounding inner-eastern suburbs have a mix of cafes, boutique retailers, tradespeople, and service-based operators. Small business owners regularly face decisions about structure, income timing, and year-end transitions. Getting advice before those decisions are made can make a significant difference. Accessing professional tax planning services early in the financial year gives business owners more options and greater certainty.


Property Investors

The Norwood property market includes units, townhouses, and established homes. Property investors may benefit from advice on ownership structure, Capital Gains Tax obligations, depreciation, and maximising deductible expenses against rental income.

Tax Planning Services Questions, Answered for Norwood Residents

  • What Is Tax Planning and How Is It Different From Lodging a Tax Return?

    Tax planning reduces your liability before it arises. Lodging a return is retrospective reporting. Planning reviews your structure, deductions, and super contributions throughout the year.

  • When Should I Start Tax Planning Each Year?

    Ideally, early in the financial year so strategies can be implemented before 30 June. Mid-year reviews can still uncover meaningful opportunities.

  • Can Tax Planning Help if I Own an Investment Property in Norwood?

    Yes. A tax planner may help review ownership structure, maximise depreciation, manage Capital Gains Tax, and ensure all deductible expenses are correctly captured.

  • Is Tax Planning Only for High-Income Earners or Large Businesses?

    No. Small business owners, sole traders, salaried professionals, and property investors across Norwood and nearby suburbs may all benefit from a structured review.
