FY27 Tax Planning: How to Start the Year in the Right Position

The founders who pay less tax in April are the ones who made decisions in July.

Most small business owners think about tax when their accountant asks for receipts. The ones who consistently pay less start planning at the beginning of the financial year, not the end. Timothy Quinn, Head of Tax & Accounting at Lawpath, covers the key moves available right now in FY27: income splitting, trust distribution resolutions, prepaying deductible expenses, superannuation strategies, and how to structure the year so there's actually something to work with at tax time. Grounded in what Lawpath advisors are telling clients this month.
