🌟 EOFY Is Almost Here — Time to Get Tax‑Smart! 🌟
As we head toward the end of the financial year, now is the perfect time to check what you can do to save on tax and boost your super.

I’ve put together a simple EOFY Checklist you can use for yourself — and feel free to share it with friends or family who might find it helpful.

If you’d like more information on any of these items, just reach out.

✅ EOFY Checklist
Superannuation
• Super Contributions
You can contribute up to $30,000 in deductible super contributions (including employer SG, salary sacrifice and personal deductible contributions).
A lump‑sum top‑up before 30 June may help maximise your limit — just remember to lodge a Notice of Intent.

• Catch‑Up Contributions
If your total super balance is under $500,000, you may be able to use up to 5 years of unused concessional caps. Great for offsetting capital gains or one‑off taxable income.

• Super Co‑Contribution
If you (or your partner/children) earn under $47,488 in 25/26, a $1,000 after‑tax contribution could earn a $500 government co‑contribution.

• Spouse Contributions
If your spouse earns under $37,000, you can contribute up to $3,000 to their super and receive up to $540 back as a tax offset.

Insurance & Investment
• Income Protection
Premiums paid from your own cash flow (not via super) are generally tax‑deductible.

• Pre‑Pay Interest
If you have a margin loan or deductible investment expenses, you may be able to pre‑pay next year’s interest and claim it this year.

• Capital Losses
Selling an underperforming investment before 30 June may help offset capital gains.
(Keep an eye on potential changes announced in the May 2026 Budget.)

Charity & Deductions
• Charitable Donations
Donations to registered charities are usually tax‑deductible — and a great way to give back.

• Work‑Related Deductions
You may be able to claim:
– Work‑related education
– Travel, flights, accommodation, fuel
– Professional memberships, subscriptions, journals, union fees
– Accounting fees
– Work‑from‑home expenses ($0.70 per hour)
– Home office equipment and running costs

Small Business
• Instant Asset Write‑Off
The $20,000 instant asset write‑off remains available for 25/26.
Applies to businesses with turnover under $10 million.

Investments & CGT
• Investment Expenses
Maintenance, repairs and management costs for investment properties or portfolios may be deductible.

• Capital Gains Tax
If selling an asset with a gain, consider timing the sale in a year with lower income.
Holding the asset for 12+ months gives access to the 50% CGT discount.

🔹 Non‑Tax Items to Keep in Mind
• After‑Tax Super Contributions
Up to $120,000 per year, or $360,000 using the bring‑forward rule.

• Gifting (Age Pension rules)
Up to $10,000 per year, or $30,000 over 5 years (with annual caps).

• Super Guarantee
SG rate remains at 12%, and payday super begins — employers must pay super at the same time as wages.

• Transfer Balance Cap
The cap increases from $2.0m to $2.1m from 1 July 2026.

⚠️ A Quick Reminder
These are general tips only — what’s right for you depends on your personal situation. Always check with a financial adviser or accountant before taking action.

If you have questions or want help working through the checklist, we’re here to help.
