With the end of the financial year not too far away, you may be considering how best to minimise your tax whilst maximising the investment in your business. It may have been a while since you have investing in your business, and whilst the $30,000 instant tax right-off legislation passed, it’s worth getting in whilst it is still available, here are a four ways worth considering:

  1. Upgrade replacing hardware and outdated software. As noted in our earlier blog articles, Microsoft ends support for Windows 7 in early January 2020. Now is the time to consider the purchase of a new computer and upgrading the operating system and possibly your software as well. Newer hardware and software will improve the reliability of your environment.
  2. Migrate your server to the cloud. Services such Office 365 enables you the ability to take advantage of practically anytime, anywhere access to your data. We see many clients appreciate the difference having the ability to be see your email, calendar and contacts shared between devices and increase their productivity.
  3. Look at training and upskilling. With many technology changes that have occurred over the past few years, it could be worthwhile undertaking some professional development and training. If you or your staff haven’t done so already, it may be the ideal time to ensure they are prepared for the upcoming changes and raise their performance.
  4. Pre-purchase hours for next year. CyberGuru has purchase a block of ten hours to use next financial year. By doing so, you can have these available at your disposal to use on any of our solutions, whether it be consulting, design, support or training.

If you are looking at taking action before the end of financial year, be sure to speak to your accountant first to review your circumstances and see how these deductions will work for you. If now is the time to look to this, we can assist by identifying and reviewing your particularly needs and sourcing the necessary equipment, get you set up and provide ongoing support and regular maintenance going forward. For more information, please review our solutions or contact us today.

Looking for ways to minimise your tax this financial year?

Federal government tax break

Happy EOFY! As another financial year comes to an end, many of our clients look to minimise their tax by purchasing goods and services prior to June 30.

You may recall that the Australian Government’s tax break announced in 2015 allows small businesses to claim an immediate deduction on items up to $20,000. This makes it an ideal time to upgrade computers, servers and other electronic devices including printers and multifunction devices.

If you are looking to upgrade your computers, CyberGuru can recommend and source new desktops, laptops and tablets from a range of brands including Microsoft, HP and ASUS. We can also install any programs, devices and settings you would like set up with the transfer of your information across to the new computer.

CyberGuru can also help you source software, such as Microsoft Office, Acronis Backup and Norton Security. Through our partnerships with our suppliers, we can often obtain better quality products than you will find in retail stores.

Have you considered moving to the cloud? We can migrate you to Microsoft Office 365, a modern cloud-based system to allow your business to operate effectively.

You may also find it is time to update your knowledge. If you are looking to enhance your productivity, we can provide you with education and training.

We can deliver upon small project-based implementations including websites. We can also assist in domain names, website hosting and email hosting, and much more.

Whether you need a consultation on what to buy, training on how to use it, computer support and maintenance or want to design a new website, CyberGuru can assist.
