Long term tax planning is the most effective way to minimise your tax, and requires a combination of strategies to maximise your savings.
A key part of long term tax planning is making sure you have the right structure in place for your business and personal assets. There can be a large difference in the amount of tax you pay if you choose to run your business as a sole trader, a trust or a company.
On top of this, it's also important to plan where your personal assets are held, where you invest your money, and ensure you take advantage of strategies such as negative gearing and making personal superannuation contributions.

As a business owner, you can contribute directly from your business and claim a tax deduction as a business expense. Alternatively, you can make personal super contributions and claim the tax deduction in your personal tax return.
You also get generous tax benefits, including:
