Goodwin Chivas & Co. Newsletter - August 2016 Edition

Welcome to our August newsletter. Goodwin Chivas & Co. has obtained a license to continue to provide SMSF advice after a change in Corporations Legislation requirements. For full details check out our story, Accountants now licensed to give SMSF advice.

In important information for small businesses, the ATO small business benchmarks for more than 100 industries have now been updated.

The ATO is also paying attention to rental properties, with specific concerns around co-owners, purchasing and holiday homes not genuinely available for rent. Read the details in ATO focus on rental properties.

Our final story covers the investment journey of Bob, the world's worst market timer, in an attempt to determine whether perfectly timed purchases or a solid investment strategy are more likely to win in the long term - Investment timing versus strategy contemplates these approaches.
