You Had a Good Season. Don't Hand Half of It to the ATO.
A bumper year shouldn't mean a brutal tax bill. We're the WA farm accountant who plans before the harvest, not after, using every lever the law gives you (FMDs, averaging, livestock elections, fuel tax credits) to keep more of what the season earned in your pocket.
If This Is How Tax Feels on the Farm, You're Not Stuck with It
A good year wipes out in tax because nobody planned for it
We model your FMDs and averaging before 30 June, so the bumper season stays yours
A city accountant who's never heard of a livestock trading account
Primary production is our specialty. We speak grain, wool, cattle and vine, fluently
Leaving fuel tax credits, Landcare and write-offs on the table
Every farm-specific lever pulled, every year. We hunt down what you're owed
No plan for handing the farm to the kids without a tax wipeout
Succession mapped 5 years out, so CGT and stamp duty don't cost you the farm

We Fight to Keep More of Your Cash in the Bank, Not the ATO's

The savings are made before 30 June, not after. We sit down with you ahead of harvest and model the FMD and averaging moves that keep the most in your account.

What WA Farmers Ask Before Switching Accountants
How does Farm Management Deposit work?
An FMD lets eligible primary producers deposit pre-tax income into a special account in good years and withdraw it in bad years. Deposit is tax-deductible, withdrawal is assessable. Used well it materially smooths tax across seasons.
What is primary production averaging?
An averaging system that reduces tax in high-income years and increases it slightly in low-income years, applied automatically to your individual income tax return. We make sure you are using it where eligible.
How is livestock valued at year end?
Three options: cost, market value or natural increase value. Different valuations have different tax outcomes depending on whether the herd is growing or shrinking. We pick the right method each year.
Can I claim fuel tax credits on the farm?
Yes. Fuel used in headers, tractors, generators and other off-road farm equipment attracts a fuel tax credit, claimable on your BAS. We track it for you.
I want to hand the farm to my kids. What do I need to think about?
CGT, stamp duty, farm management deposits, off-farm assets, fair treatment of off-farm siblings, retirement income for the parents. Start the conversation at least 5 years before the transition.
