Advice from Accountants for Minimising Business Tax in Western Australia

The rest of this page is dedicated to providing you with an overview of the four key steps you must take to minimise your taxes when running a business. These apply whether you are operating a business in Perth, elsewhere in WA or across Australia.

When you’re ready to talk about what we could do for you, please book a meeting or send an enquiry.

The Problem
Every business is unique, but a common problem is that outdated or one‑size‑fits‑all tax strategies can leave you overpaying. You might be missing out on legitimate deductions, concessions or planning opportunities that can lower your tax liability.

Our Solution
At Munro’s, we tackle these issues head‑on. Our business accountants in Perth partner with you to continuously identify areas where you can legally minimise your tax. The focus isn’t only on the short term, we look ahead to get you prepared for tax minimisation opportunities over the medium to longer term.

Key Outcomes and Benefits
When you engage our tax minimisation service, you can expect:

  • Reduced Tax Liability: Legally decrease your taxable income through tailored strategies.
  • Improved Cash Flow: Know what tax payments are coming up and free up funds to reinvest in your business and drive growth.
  • Enhanced Financial Clarity: Gain a clear understanding of your tax position with understandable reporting.

By focusing on your specific challenges, we create a customised tax strategy that not only reduces your tax burden but also supports your broader business goals.

Step 1. Structuring

  • Entity Structuring to Save Tax
  • Top-Hatting
  • Trusts
  • Companies
  • Partnerships
  • SMSF

Using the right combination of trusts, companies, partnerships and/or self-managed superfunds may save hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax over the long term.

Step 2. Proactive Tax Planning

  • Tax Minimisation Plans
  • Financial Forecasts
  • Tax Returns
  • GST

You’re either a reactive business owner dealing with tax after the fact, or a proactive business owner mitigating your tax burden now and in advance.

Step 3. Complex Tax

  • Complex Situations
  • Unique Transactions
  • Division 7A
  • Consolidations

It’s true that many advisors can help with basic tax, but it takes a special mindset to uncover hidden solutions when the seemingly inevitable complex problems arise.

Step 4. Save Tax When Selling

  • Small Business Concessions
  • CGT Rollovers
  • Transfer Duty Exemptions
  • GST-Free Going Concern

The last thing you want when it comes to selling your business is an unnecessarily large tax bill. If you plan ahead from the start, you could be in for a very happy final outcome.

    David and I have been loyal clients of Munros for many years—I think since we were married in 1962. David made all the decisions in those early years. I became a more active partner as we worked with Ted Wilhelm and Ian Arblaster until their retirement. We then worked with Christine Prasetia for our financial, accounting, taxation and our wills until David’s death in May, 2017. Christine has patiently guided me through taking up the reins of our business venture. She is very efficient and totally reliable in all our dealings. I feel fortunate to have Christine as my accountant and business advisor. Thanking you, Val McAlpine

They are exceptionally knowledgeable in their field of expertise and up to date with the latest policies/requirements and very easy to work with as they understand the client’s needs. I want to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to especially Saul and Sanjay for their professionalism, great advise, friendly attitude and major efforts in assisting me with my Taxes/ accounting.

    We have been clients of Munro’s (and Donald F Munro & Assoc. before that) for more than 50 years and have always found them to be right on point with their advice and work. Nothing is too much trouble to research and the responses always given in easy-to-understand language. We love that the K.I.S.S principle is used (keep-it-simple-stupid!) We can’t thank Simon and Carl enough for the great service that they provide. I have also, in community roles, worked with Barry Virgo and Ian Arblaster over the years on Co-operative business and their knowledge was second to none.

    Thank you and congratulations Munro’s on 50 years + in business.

    Super grateful to Drew and the team at Munro’s for their quick response and helpfulness! I reached out via their website to see about getting a referral for a comparable crypto tax advisor in the United States, as Munro’s seemed to be the best firm I came across in my research. Drew got back to me within hours and was kind enough to reach out to his network for a reputable contact. He directed me to a great firm and was quick, kind, and communicative throughout. Wish we were based in Australia so we could work with Drew and his team for all our tax advisory needs! Highly recommend.

    Accountant Drew was very helpful with a detailed insight to capital gains tax and reset period shall we sell our property. Drew contacted five minutes after I enquired to the office and followed up with this assessment

    The tax tribunal has said that a common-sense assessment applies when considering the varying number of factors and even conflicting circumstances when determining if a house is someone’s main residence. In your case, the Bunbury house may have become your main residence for that short eight week stay if you moved a great deal of personal belonging there. However, a common-sense assessment likely suggests it did not become your main residence (at least on the facts that I know). If it didn’t become your main residence, then the maximum period you can claim the property as your main residence for the period since 2018 is 6 years. I.e. 2018-2014. For the period 2024 onwards, the main residence exemption cannot apply. You could, however, move back in and re-establish it as your main residence and then move out and rent again, which would restart the absentee rule. However, you still would not get the main residence exemption for the period 2024 to the time you moved back in because the maximum 6 years has expired for this current period of absence.

    Happy 50 years !!! I joined Munro’s in 1974 just close to when the accounting firm had started, Don Munro was my accountant at the time and helped greatly in all my various problems and successes and he still remained a very dear friend to me; now Simon Strawbridge is looking after me and I can only praise all the work that he has been doing for me not only in accounting, but also in advising my various legal problems and investments.

    I can only say well done to the whole team and hope that I will still be their client in the coming years.

    I was looking for a business advisor for my small business in the Perth area and stumbled across Munro’s. On the website I was able to conveniently book an initial meeting with them to find out how I could achieve long term growth. One of their business accountants, Drew, promptly replied back and even helped accommodate a meeting on an earlier date. I met with him at their Perth office, and he was beyond helpful. After the meeting he followed up with an email, comprehensively outlining what we had discussed with great tips to help me move forward with growing my business. I really appreciated that Munro’s was willing to take the time to meet with me and help me even though my business is still a little too small to pursue Munro’s services. Drew didn’t try and upsell me and was so helpful and realistic with what I should do at this current stage in my business.

    My husband and I were looking for some advice on a short time frame with regards to purchasing a piece of farmland. We had an offer in hand and a peculiar clause that we needed advice on. Adam Carter was prompt, detailed and courteous in all dealings with us. He helped us meet our deadline, understand the consequences of each available option and now establish our small farming enterprise. We cannot thank him and the team at Munro’s enough. Highly recommend their services.

    Exceptional Professionalism and Genuine Support

    I can’t thank Drew enough for the incredible support he offered during an incredibly stressful and emotional time. His communication was efficient, clear, and refreshingly straightforward—qualities that are hard to come by when dealing with complex financial and legal matters.

    Although Munros were ultimately unable to take on my case due to an internal conflict, Drew still gave generously of his time and expertise without charge. He treated the complex situation with empathy and integrity, when most professionals would have run a mile. His advice and clarity made a tangible difference to both my confidence and the steps I’m now taking to secure a better future for myself and my children.

    It’s deeply regrettable that I can’t continue with Drew as our accountant long-term, because he would’ve been my first choice without question. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing not only expert accounting but also genuine human support.

    Thank you again, Drew — you have been amazing.
