Tax Planning

Tax planning is arranging your income, investments, and transactions to minimise tax within the four corners of the law — using the deductions, exemptions, regimes, and timing the statute allows. It is legitimate, and distinct from evasion.

The firm plans across the year and across transactions, for individuals and businesses, so the tax outcome is efficient and the position defensible.

Tax planning covers the levers available, including:

• Choice of tax regime and entity structure
• Deductions, exemptions, and eligible investments
• Timing of income, expenditure, and capital transactions
• Salary and remuneration structuring
• Capital-gains planning and reinvestment reliefs

PBT plans your tax legitimately and keeps it defensible.

• Planning strictly within the law — no aggressive positions
• A view across income tax, capital gains, and GST
• Documentation that supports each step
• Continuity with filing and audit
• Scope, deliverables, and fees agreed in writing up front

• Is tax planning legal?

  Yes. Tax planning uses the reliefs and choices the law provides. It is different from tax evasion, which is illegal, and from aggressive avoidance, which we do not advise.

• When should I plan my taxes?

  Early in the year and before major transactions — planning works best in advance, not at filing time.

• How long does it take?

  An annual plan can be drawn up quickly; transaction planning is timed to the deal. We agree scope up front.
