General Taxation Services

Take a moment to check in with the people around you.

Ask the question, listen to the answer and make a little time for a convo that matters.

R U OK? 💛

Because the best time to talk about tax isn’t after the financial year is over. It’s usually before you BUY the thing. Before you CHANGE the thing. Before you have your BEST YEAR yet and wonder where all the profit went 🫣

We’re obviously here for the tax returns. But we’d also love to be part of the convo along the way too.

Running a business and looking for an accountant who actually gets to know it? Come talk to GTS 💚

Happy Father’s Day 💚

Here’s to the dads, stepdads, grandads, father figures and all the good humans doing the dad stuff.

And a little extra love today to anyone missing their person, wishing things looked a little different, or finding today a bit tricky 🫶

May your day include absolutely no discussion about what is and isn’t tax deductible ... Unless you really want to. We know some people 🤓

✨ Feature Friday ✨

This week’s feature is … me.

As the person who usually writes these, I’ve taken the completely unbiased approach of giving myself a turn. So please enjoy several slides of info about me that absolutely nobody asked for 💁‍♀️

Meet Erin - accountant and our unofficial office food guide 🍝🔎

Need help solving a business mystery? She’s your girl. Need a restaurant recommendation for an oddly specific craving? Also your girl 💅

Throw in a love of travel, gym and helping people ... and you’ve pretty much got Erin. An all-round legend and a very loved member of GTS 💚

Apparently you guys have been talking about us… 👀💚 And we’re VERY okay with it.

Last year alone, 336 new clients told us they came to General Tax because a friend, family member or colleague recommended us. 336!! 🥹

And honestly, that’s a number we’re pretty damn proud of.

We try to say thanks in our own little way by sending out a $5 scratchie when someone tells us who referred them 🍀 But sometimes a scratchie doesn’t quite say it enough… so we thought we should say it out loud too.

THANK YOU 💚

For mentioning our name, sharing our details, tagging us in posts and trusting us enough to send the people you care about our way.

There’s no better compliment than word of mouth, and we genuinely appreciate every single recommendation.

So please… keep talking about us 😂💚

💁‍♀️ Feature Friday 🙋‍♀️

This week it’s Holly’s turn ... much to her absolute dread 😂

A whole lot of laughs, a little bit of chaos, and an energy that makes the office a better place to be.

As the baby of the office, she keeps us young, teaches us questionable new vocabulary, and reminds us daily that we’re not nearly as hip as we thought we were 🤓

The personality hire we got absolutely right!!! 💚

⭐ Feature Friday ⭐

It didn’t take long for the boss to get his turn … and we may have had a little too much fun with this one 😂

All jokes aside, there’s a lot of love for Robbo around here 💚 We’re proud of what he’s built and grateful for everything he brings to GTS.

There’s plenty more we could say … but we’ll let the carousel do the talking 👀

💸 Fact: Australia has around 125 different taxes.

One hundred and twenty-five. Honestly, we're impressed they managed to think of that many ... but also unimpressed because WHYYY 🙄

👇 Which Aussie tax gives you the irrits the most?

A few contenders:
🏠 Stamp Duty – as if buying a house wasn't expensive enough already.
🚗 Luxury Car Tax – "Luxury" is doing a lot of heavy lifting these days.
⛽ Fuel Excise – every trip to the servo hurts.
💼 Payroll Tax – hiring more staff? That'll cost you.
🎁 Fringe Benefits Tax – confusing, full of exceptions, and always keeping accountants on their toes.

Or is it another one? Tell us below! 👇

✨ Feature Friday ✨

You trust us with your tax, so we thought it was about time you got to know the people behind it.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be introducing you to the people who make up the General Tax team. Expect a few random facts, plenty of personality and a peek behind the spreadsheets.

Kicking things off is Shelley – one of our Senior Accountants and our resident SMSF guru.

If you've had the pleasure of working with Shelley, you'll know she's always smiling, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely loves helping her clients.

Have a flick through and get to know the Shelley behind the smile 💛
