If you’re reading this, you’re probably already wealthy (or well on your way).

But tell me if I’m wrong — even though your business is doing well, your financial future is secure, and you enjoy your fair share of ‘the good life’, you know you could be doing better... right?Well, if you are someone who would like to make a lot more money this financial year, the next few paragraphs will be the most important words you will ever read. Here is why: Making more money is a lot like losing weight. It’s simple. But it’s not always easy. And so few people ever make the real money (or lose the weight and have the dream body) they’d like to. We all like to think about growing our business, making more money, and retiring rich but, when it comes to having specific goals, detailed plans, and taking consistent action... well... they are the parts that are not always easy.

I’ve Discovered the AnswerOr should I say, I’ve rediscovered what Napoleon Hill taught us in his famous book, ‘Thank and Grow Rich’. That is: the power of the Mastermind.Most people grit their teeth and try to struggle their way to success — alone. After studying 500 of the richest people in the world (people like Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, and more), Hill discovered

A Special Message for BusinessOwners Who Are Already Wealthy

they all used the power of the Mastermind. A group of like-minded people, sharing wisdom, encouragement and resources to achieve more.

#1 top tax tip:Be Prepared

"I used to be Hoges the funny man... or Crocodile Dundee. But now I’m the tax man."

While the ACC has dropped its criminal investigation into paul Hogan and friend John “Strop” Cornell, for alleged fraud and tax evasion, the ATO is continuing its parallel investigation. Guilty or not, Hogan said his five-year battle with the Tax Department has destroyed his reputation.“They’ve declared me a criminal all round the world,” he said. “It’s over, I used to be Hoges the funny man or Crocodile Dundee. But now I’m the tax man. Google it, they’ve turned me into the tax man and that never goes away.”Hoges may well be totally innocent. But the money decisions he has made, have caused him unwanted scrutiny. And have cost him something even more valuable than money — his reputation. Good advice doesn’t actually cost you a cent — it saves you money. And it can save you even more significant consequences like long, drawn-out legal battles... and possibly even your reputation.Hoges is a celebrity — that’s why we know about his tax troubles. But plenty of ‘unknown’ Australians are also fighting battles with the Tax Department. Contact your local CondonTreasure office to ensure you are well and truly on the right side of the law and not at risk of suffering at the hand of the Tax Department like Hoges and so many others.

A 100% Legal Way To Rob the Tax Dept Many people are tempted (and even advised) to use questionable strategies to save tax. There are plenty of dodgy schemes out there. And some are quite sophisticated. Apart from being illegal, we pose the question: Why bother?I mean, there are plenty of legitimate ways to save tax. Most business owners (and their advisors) don’t even make all the claims they are entitled to. So why wander into ‘grey’ areas of tax law when... in the end... you’ll almost certainly get caught? Sure, tax law can seem like a minefield. More rules and regulations than you can poke a stick at. And the Tax Dept can seem a bit intimidating (especially when you find yourself in a little trouble). But there is no need to fear the Tax Dept. With help from the right specialists — people who deal with these rules EVERY day — you’ll be amazed what you can save. And it’s 100% legal. It may be as simple as keeping better records and lodging all the claims you are entitled to. Or it may involve restructuring your company or assets. Contact your local CondonTreasure office today and see how you may be able to lEGAllY save a whole lot of tax.

If You Saw $50 on the Footpath, Would You Stop To Pick It Up?perhaps not for a 50 cent coin, but

even somebody wearing a $2,000 suit would probably bend down to pick up a $50 note. However many of us won’t take as much time and effort to save $50.Take tax planning for example. Here’s a case study of a real client who took the time to seek professional tax advice and...

Saved $50,000 Mr & Mrs Jones operated a small business (MM Trucking) through a family partnership for over twenty years. With about ten years until their planned retirement, they won a lucrative contract.Remembering a difficult time in the past when their previous accountant ‘surprised’ them with an unusually high tax bill, the Jones were concerned about the tax effects of this contract. Their new accountant (at CondonTreasure) advised them to invest in tax planning.

“I had no idea what to do” said Mrs Jones, “But our CondonTreasure Accountant provided us with a checklist of all of the information we needed. He asked us a lot of questions to be sure he understood what we planned for our future and what expectations we had from our business.”“He gave us an easy-to-understand report detailing our likely tax situation if we kept our existing business structure.” “Then he recommended a full restructure, including the use of a discretionary trust, company and Self Managed Superannuation Fund.” “His report even contained recommendations about strategically timing certain expenditure and income to gain further reductions in tax.”“He took the time to step us through all the recommendations, showing us the costs and benefits.”

“His advice saves us $50,000 a year.”Mr and Mrs Jones can now focus their attention and energy on running a

profitable trucking business. With help from CondonTreausre, they are also maximising after-tax cash flow to build a nice retirement nest egg. Are you certain you’re not paying too much tax? like the Jones family, with some practical tax planning help you could save up to $50,000 a year — perhaps more.Call your local CondonTreasure office today for a free initial Discovery Session and see how we may be able to help you save tax as easily as finding money on the footpath. *Although the facts of this case study are real, the names have been changed for confidentiality.
