Effective tax planning starts with a thorough understanding of your financial position. At 42 Advisory, we review your income sources, entity structure, and deduction opportunities to identify lawful strategies that reduce your overall tax liability. Our tax services are built around proactive year-round planning, not reactive end-of-year compliance.

For Caulfield 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 tested against Part IVA anti-avoidance provisions and current ATO guidance. Our approach is conservative, compliant, and designed for sustainable long-term benefit.

If your business is registered for GST or required to lodge Business Activity Statements, accurate and timely BAS reporting is essential to avoid ATO penalties and interest charges. 42 Advisory provides registered BAS agent services for Caulfield 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 keep your BAS data reconciled in real time. For Caulfield retailers, medical practitioners, professional service firms, and hospitality operators, this ensures your obligations are met accurately and on schedule every quarter.

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

Caulfield's diverse economy — spanning healthcare, education, retail, and professional services — means no two businesses face the same challenges. We tailor our advisory approach to your industry and growth stage, whether you are launching a practice near Caulfield Racecourse or expanding a family business across the Glen Eira corridor. Clients in nearby Oakleigh and Chadstone also benefit from our advisory capability.

Caulfield and the broader City of Glen Eira are established residential investment areas, supported by strong public transport links, proximity to Monash University, and consistent rental demand. 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 property in Caulfield or a portfolio spanning Elsternwick, Malvern, and St Kilda East, our team ensures your property tax affairs are structured for maximum efficiency within current legislation.
