Goodwin Chivas & Co. Newsletter - February 2015 Edition 

Welcome to our February newsletter, the first for 2015.

The new year brings some changes to superannuation that will impact many of our clients. Check out our article Super changes in 2015 for full details. 

If your business claims fuel tax credits, you need to be aware of increase to fuel tax credit rates that took place from 2 February 2015. We summarise the new rates for easy reference. 

If you are a small business owner, have you considered the need to protect yourself financially? Many small business owners fail to take out income protection insurance because they think it is too expensive. We explain why you should, and how it could potentially reduce your tax bill in our article, Small business, big risks. 

Finally, the RBA's decision to lower the official cash rate last week has changed the discussion on interest rate forecasts, with their decision signalling a new downward trend. Read more in our article Interest rate forecasts for 2015.
