Minimise your tax liability to maximise your rewards
Owners of small businesses understand that their increasing success is attached to greater tax liability — and increased scrutiny. Working out the value of your obligations can be a challenge, but it’s your ability to optimise your business and minimise your tax obligations that will truly set you up for success. Liston Newton’s Port Macquarie tax agents can help you do just that.
For over 20 years, we’ve been helping our local clients enjoy their hard-earned rewards with tailored tax accounting solutions. Though our strategies are unique to every client, the first step is the same: a consultation and coffee. Stop by our William Street office, or let’s schedule a time for our team to meet at your office. Just let us know if a virtual meeting might be more manageable.

Tax accounting services available in Port Macquarie
We can do far more than just fill out your tax return. Liston Newton is a full-service financial specialist, and our Port Macquarie team (backed by our national network of specialists) can help you optimise every facet of your business finances.
Liston Newton helped us move our accounting over to Xero. Their Accountant managed the set up and training so we felt comfortable with the software. We now have all our processes streamlined which gives us improved visibility of our business performance. This has allowed us to open 2 more stores without a significant increase in administration effort.

Talk to usFeel empowered, not overwhelmed
We’ve worked with countless business owners who felt confident that they could handle their tax accounting themselves, or by delegating it to an internal accountant who’s already overladen with work. It rarely works. They’re soon overwhelmed, leaving the business at risk with the ATO.
Tax accounting is an intricate task, and it requires a focused mind. Partner with Liston Newton’s Port Macquarie team, and we’ll ensure your tax accounting is done correctly. Better still, we’ll explain our processes and reasoning so that you can gain a deeper understanding of your business.

Proudly putting our community first
We’ve earned a fair bit of success over the years. As proud as we are of our own efforts, the truth is that no business can survive without the support of their community. That’s just as true of us as individuals.
We want to give back as much as we get, which is why we’ve decided to support a list of charities close to our hearts:
- The Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea
- The Cancer Council’s Small Business Advisory Service
- The Type 1 Foundation
Frequently asked questions
What can I do to lessen my tax obligations?
Here are three basic strategies to help you lighten your tax obligations:
- Contribute to your super
- Prepay your expenses
- Buy tax-deductible assets
These strategies are generalised and may not apply to you. For personalised advice, book a consultation with our Port Macquarie team.
Are voluntary super contributions a wise investment?
Yes, voluntarily contributing to your super is a wise investment. Up to $25,000 per year of your super contributions will become tax deductible, and the rest will be taxed at a lower rate than your income tax.
How do I prepare for my business tax return?
The best way to ensure your tax returns are completed reliably is to seek help from a certified business accountant. Our Port Macquarie team are ready to help. Book a consultation, and we’ll tell you what details we need to ensure your taxes are done correctly.

AI is a tool for strategists, not the strategist itself
All businesses are constantly looking for the latest competitive edge. There’s nothing new about that, and it’s a healthy practice. What isn’t healthy is the willingness to immediately buy into the hype.
We’ve noticed countless businesses in practically every industry embrace the promises of ‘artificial intelligence’ technology purely on speculation. Few take the time to understand its limitations, or even its actual strengths, for that matter.
At Liston Newton, we believe AI tools are effective at increasing productivity, but not at the high-level strategic thinking our clients deserve and expect from us. That we leave to humans.
