July 2014 Newsletter

What have you put off lately?

Cleaning the gutters? Having your car serviced? The reasons for putting these and many other tasks off are wide and varied. Unfortunately, the risks associated with putting off what may seem simple tasks can be dire. In these two examples alone, the consequences may include costly flooding of your house or being left stranded when your car decides “enough is enough”. These are two disasters that could easily be avoided if it weren’t for one thing: Procrastination.

This month we look at how we can set up the rest of the year to achieve your goals and dreams without procrastination and also provide important and urgent information regarding the ATO. They are watching us and the article explains more.

Regards
Roy A. McDonald and the team!

What would you like to accomplish in the new financial year?
Half the year is gone, and for some people, their dream of owning their own home, getting out of debt or traveling abroad, hasn’t even began. Whatever your vision is for the year ahead, you’ll have to accomplish one thing first, getting your finances in shape. Just a little bit of smart financial goal-setting now might be the difference between realising your dreams and putting them off until next year… or the year after that.

Snap- The ATO is watching you!
AGAIN…

Last year we wrote to you and let you know that the ATO is watching over 600,000,000 transactions you and I make. We have recently learnt the ATO is now stepping up this program and it is important you make an appointment here to make sure your tax is completed efficiently and properly.
