FAQ

Questions, answered.

See all FAQs
Who can help me with tax and accounting in Canberra?

Gail Freeman & Co is a chartered accounting firm in Kingston, Canberra that has helped individuals, small and medium businesses and not-for-profits across the ACT since 1987 — with tax, self-managed super, financial planning and business advice. You can reach the team on (02) 6295 2844.

How can I legally reduce the tax my small business pays?

Common, legitimate levers include choosing the right business structure, claiming every deduction you’re entitled to, timing income and expenses, and making concessional super contributions. The right mix depends on your situation — Gail Freeman & Co provides tax planning for Canberra businesses so you pay the appropriate level of tax and no more.

Should I set up a self-managed super fund (SMSF)?

An SMSF gives you far more control over how your super is invested, but it also carries real compliance obligations and tends to suit larger balances. Gail Freeman & Co — where Gail Freeman is an accredited SMSF Specialist Adviser — can help you decide whether an SMSF fits your goals, and handle the set-up and administration if it does.

What should I do if the ATO audits me?

Don’t panic — bring in a Registered Tax Agent early. Gail Freeman & Co is experienced in dealing with the Australian Taxation Office (Gail Freeman has advised the ATO and served on its committees), can minimise the disruption of an audit, and can help prepare an objection if you believe an assessment is wrong.

Do I need a financial planner as well as an accountant?

They do different jobs — an accountant handles tax and compliance, a financial planner helps you build and protect wealth — and it helps when the two talk to each other. Gail Freeman & Co offers both under one roof: financial planning is provided by Gail Freeman as an Authorised Representative of Lifespan Financial Planning Pty Ltd (AFSL 229892).
