YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Browse all FAQs ↗Tax planning FAQ
How is planning different from preparation?
Preparation focuses on completing a return using the relevant records. Planning is a separate conversation about your current position, goals, anticipated changes, and decisions ahead.
When should I request a planning conversation?
Contact us when you expect a change in income, work, business activity, or financial goals. Starting before a decision gives more time to gather records and discuss the implications.
What should I bring to a planning meeting?
Bring recent returns, current income and financial information, and a list of upcoming changes or decisions. We will confirm the additional details needed for the agreed analysis.
Can we discuss both personal and business circumstances?
Yes. Explain how your business and personal finances connect so the scope can account for the relevant information. Separate entities or additional analysis may require additional work.
Does planning guarantee a particular tax saving?
No. Outcomes depend on your facts, the applicable rules, and the actions taken. Any proposed approach needs to be evaluated for your circumstances; a specific saving is not guaranteed.
Will my plan need to be updated?
A change in your income, goals, business, or other relevant circumstances can affect an earlier analysis. Discuss when to revisit the plan and whether follow-up work is included in the engagement.
