How to manage Business Cashflow
When it comes to running a small business, cash flow management is king. Effective cash flow management is the difference between running a successful business and, unfortunately, going out of business.
We’ve all heard the saying that ‘cash is king’, but despite the popularity of this phrase cash flow is an area of business that is often neglected. Managing cash flow can be one of the biggest challenges business owners face.

Understanding Property Taxes in Western Australia
When you own property in WA, you also often have to pay taxes, duties or levies.
Transfer Duty
Transfer duty is also known as stamp duty and is levied by the state government on property purchases. In WA, it is often the biggest tax most property owners need to pay. Transfer duty generally falls due when the property changes hands, typically at settlement. The amount is calculated based on the property’s purchase price or market value, depending on which is higher.
Do You Need to Pay Transfer Duty?
Transfer duty applies to most property buyers in Western Australia, including investors and owner-occupiers. However, the rates vary. Investors usually pay a higher ‘General rate’ while owner-occupiers pay a lower ‘Residential rate’.
When a Gift Is Not Considered a Gift by the ATO
In Australia, the tax treatment of gifts can be complex, particularly when the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) decides that a transaction, which appears to be a gift, is not classified as one for tax purposes. This distinction can have significant implications for both the giver and the recipient. Here’s an overview of how and why the ATO might challenge the classification of a gift and what this means for taxation.
Defining a Gift for Tax Purposes
Under Australian tax law, a gift is generally considered to be a voluntary transfer of property or money from one individual to another without any expectation of receiving something in return. Gifts are typically not subject to income tax, but they may have implications for other taxes, such as capital gains tax (CGT) or stamp duty, depending on the circumstances.
