Thinking about a Family Trust?

Are you keeping your bank manager happy?

In this current economic environment, banks and finance companies (those that are left) are constantly reviewing their exposures.  Initially their review is based on industry analysis, and then they look at your performance compared with your budget and the industry norm.  Any variances will soon be brought to your attention and questions asked!

GST at 15% - still confused??
It's as simple as 3 / 23

In the "old days" in order to work out the GST content of a price we divided by 9.
e.g.        What is the GST content in $180.00?
               $180.00 divided by 9   =   $20
               Simple !

BUT now the maths has changed.

Now you multiply by 3 / 23

The GST content on $180.00 is now $23.47
i.e.        $180.00 x 3 / 23

Another example:
What is the GST content of an item costing $115.00 ?
Take $115.00 x 3 / 23  =  $15.00

Similarly, to calculate the GST exclusive value of an amount you multiply by 20 / 23

e.g.        $115.00 x 20 / 23   =  $100.00

Business Interruption insurance claims

If your business has been affected by the recent series of earthquakes your business insurance policy will most likely have a provision for you to make a claim for business interruption.  For more information on making a claim, please follow this link.
