Goodwin Chivas & Co. Newsletter - December 2017 Edition

Welcome to our December 2017 Newsletter. We would like to wish all of our customers a wonderful Christmas and a happy and safe 2018. We thank you for your business this year and look forward to working with you again next year. 

Please note our office will be closed from the 23rd of December to the 7th of January and re-open on the 8th of January 2018.

In this newsletter, we provide details of Company Tax Rate changes, with the Company Tax Rate lowered from 30% to the current 27.5% for some companies. Are you eligible for the low company tax rate?

Capital Gains Tax exemptions are no longer available for foreign investors selling their main residences in Australia. We outline the government's changes that came into effect on 9^th May 2017.

Employees who are in Novated Lease Arrangements always ask questions about the deductibility of car expenses. Please review our article for more details.

We also discuss the importance of diversification when it comes to investing, and the associated benefits.
