If your cash flow is good, it is the best time to spend on extra expenses. See below Tax Saving Tips that might help:

1. Pay your Super

Pay your superannuation now. Superannuation can only be claimed if it is paid within the financial year.

2. Prepay certain expenses

Electricity, rent, utilities – the usual expenses incurred in running your business, you can pay them in advance so they fall and can be claimed within the financial year.

3. Take advantage of the $20,000 instant write-off

Small Business Entities can claim an immediate deduction with assets purchased that are less than $20,000. If you have excess cash, you can purchase assets less than $20,000, just make sure that the assets are purchased, installed, and ready for use before 30 June 2018.

4. Charitable Donations

Donate to any charitable institutions now so you can  claim a deduction for anything over $2. Just make sure that you have a receipt.
