Another great Harris Black Business Leaders Forum (BLF) where we looked at “Maximizing Leadership Performance: Coaching for Success“.
The workshop focused on leadership success and provided valuable insights and updates from experienced business owners/leaders. Participants learned about the latest strategies for harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a leader, identifying and enhancing their leadership style, handling difficult conversations, and driving greater productivity in teams. The workshop also covered effective approaches for attracting and retaining top talent in their organization.
All the insights were then drawn on for the final session where attendees’ problem solved key leadership challenges or opportunities each were facing for 2023. All up a fantastic session which all valued.

The new financial year marks a crucial period for businesses as they assess their financial performance and make critical decisions for the year ahead.

As the end of the financial year approaches, getting your tax in order is vital.
Tax planning can help all businesses and individuals to plan and manage their tax position as the end of the financial year draws closer. This process allows businesses to see the bigger picture and gain a head start with their tax obligations. It involves assessing the need for any Division 7A repayments, utilising unrealised capital gains or losses, discussion on the changes around Division 100A and planning for any changes in your tax situation.
Tax planning simultaneously ensures savings on tax while addressing any legal obligations and requirements, such as determining if you can top up your super, writing off bad debts, and claiming eligible R&D tax offsets. It also allows for the preparation of smaller items like distribution resolutions, dividend statements, and jobs that are usually forgotten, getting them ready for the new financial year. The most important part of tax planning is the plan of your tax position before 30th June. Understanding options to reduce or defer tax payments, planning cash flow for tax instalments, and the tax due on tax return lodgements are key components of effective tax planning.
