Taxation for Trusts

We watch carefully and manage our clients’ trusts with efficient processes that aim to limit or reduce the taxation of trusts, and ensure preservation of your investments or Estate Plans. We facilitate tax planning for Discretionary Trusts to ensure a stable and well-managed system for our clients’ assets.

Taxation for Superannuation Funds

Stones Sharp manages your company’s contributions with regard to superannuation so that as it grows through your investments, the tax implications payable are kept at a minimum, thanks to our experienced and knowledgeable tax accountants.

We understand the partnership structure and relationship regarding income and losses that must be shared amongst all partners. We take special pride in offering proper advice on the taxation responsibilities for partnerships, as well as the reports shared regarding the income for tax return policies.

Brilliant service from Stones Sharp. And no, I am not a relation of the Directors, just a coincidence. Without even being a Client of the firm - I was subleasing office space - they have proactively kept me up to date on email with all the job keeper programs. Hence, I am moving my business and personal tax requirements over to Stones Sharp.
