This is the time of year we all need to start thinking about what needs to be done before the 30th of June (end of financial year). As we can all appreciate, life is moving fast so don't leave things to the last minute.
Below are some handy hints for you to consider to have your financial house in order before the end of financial year:
- Have you incurred any deductible expenses this financial year? Make sure you have copies of all receipts.
- Do you have copies of your investment statements, including dividend statements?
- If you own property make sure you have your paperwork up to date, particularly if you claim depreciation.
- Are you in the pension phase of your super? Have you managed your balance to ensure it is in accordance with the $1.6 million Transfer Balance Cap which took effect 1 July 2017?
- If applicable, have you finalised with your accountant or SMSF administrator your CGT cost base election as part of the new super reforms?
- Review your capital gains position for your investment and superannuation portfolios.
- Review the performance of your investments – should you be taking profits or clearing out the deadwood from your portfolio?
- What superannuation contributions have you already made, or intend to make prior to 30 June? Remember there are new, reduced contribution limits from 1 July 2017.
- Are your personal insurances, including life and income protection insurance, in order? Has your personal situation changed?
- If you are already receiving a pension from your superannuation you will need to make sure you meet your minimal pension requirements before 30 June otherwise significant penalties could apply.
Will you be ready?
