Running your business through a company can be a great structure, but using that company incorrectly can create tax problems you never expected.In this video, Jacob Fahmy breaks down five of the biggest tax mistakes he sees company owners make, including treating company money like personal money, paying super late, buying vehicles through the company without considering FBT, ignoring ATO lodgements and leaving tax planning until after the financial year has ended.Jacob explains how Division 7A can apply when company money is taken personally, why unpaid super can create additional costs and director consequences, and why putting a car through the company does not automatically make it a good tax strategy.He also explains why lodging your BAS on time matters even when the company cannot immediately pay the debt, and why proper tax planning needs to happen before 30 June while there are still decisions available to you.The key takeaway is simple: having a company does not automatically mean you have a good tax structure. You still need to understand how money comes out of the company, when your obligations are due and the tax consequences of the decisions you make.Need an accountant?GET A FREE CONSULTATION FOR ALL ABN HOLDERShttps://forms.zohopublic.com/john205/form/GENERALENQUIRYFORM/formperma/VYEBrsCV_ompEVvnkA0eygWlJxXO5OajFsjjngf_jzwOUR SERVICEShttps://latitudeaccountants.com.au/accounting-services/[email protected]://www.tiktok.com/@latitudeaccountantsInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/latitudeaccountants/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@LatitudeAccountantsLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/latitude-accountants/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/latitudeaccountants/Websitehttps://latitudeaccountants.com.au/This content is general information only and does not constitute financial, tax, accounting, legal, property or business advice.
