Effective tax planning begins with a clear understanding of your financial position. At 42 Advisory, we review your income sources, entity structure, and eligible deductions to identify lawful strategies that minimise your overall tax liability. Our tax services focus on proactive planning throughout the year, not just end-of-year compliance.

For Carnegie residents and business owners, common tax-saving strategies include salary packaging, timing of capital expenditure, negative gearing optimisation for property investors, and restructuring through companies or trusts where appropriate. We also assist with capital gains tax planning, Division 7A compliance, and small business CGT concessions under the ITAA 1997.

Every recommendation is assessed against Part IVA anti-avoidance provisions and current ATO guidance. Our approach is conservative, compliant, and focused on sustainable long-term outcomes.

If your business is registered for GST or required to lodge Business Activity Statements, accurate and timely reporting is essential to avoid ATO penalties. 42 Advisory provides registered BAS agent services for Carnegie businesses, covering quarterly and monthly BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, and IAS lodgement.

We integrate directly with Xero and other cloud accounting platforms to ensure your BAS data is reconciled in real time. For Carnegie retailers, cafes, professional service firms, and trades businesses operating along Koornang Road and the surrounding precinct, this means your obligations are met accurately and on schedule every quarter.

Beyond compliance, 42 Advisory provides business advisory services that help Carnegie business owners make better financial decisions. Our advisory work covers cash flow forecasting, budgeting and scenario analysis, entity structuring, succession planning, and growth strategy.

Carnegie's commercial precinct supports a diverse mix of hospitality, retail, health services, and professional firms. We tailor our advisory approach to your industry and growth stage — whether you are launching a new venture on Koornang Road or scaling an established business across the Glen Eira corridor. Clients in nearby Oakleigh and Chadstone also benefit from our advisory capability.

Carnegie and the broader City of Glen Eira remain active areas for residential property investment, driven by strong transport links and proximity to Monash University and Caulfield Racecourse. 42 Advisory assists property investors with rental income reporting, depreciation schedule coordination, negative gearing strategy, CGT event planning, and loan structure reviews.

We also advise on the tax implications of property held in trusts, companies, or self-managed super funds. Whether you hold a single investment unit in Carnegie or a portfolio spanning Murrumbeena, Glen Huntly, and Ormond, our team ensures your property tax affairs are structured for maximum efficiency within current legislation.
