Tax Planning
Tax planning means managing your financial affairs such that the amount of tax you pay is minimised as much as legally possible. The idea is that you pay all the tax you have to – but no more.
Optimising your tax planning unlocks enormous potential for your financial plan. In fact, getting the tax planning right is typically more important to your financial performance than just about any other aspect – including things like choosing the right investment. A good investment can become a bad one if you find yourself with a bigger tax bill than you needed.
Australia’s taxation system is deliberately designed to encourage people to do some things and not do others. This means that when we take advantage of quality tax planning we are actually doing exactly what the community wants us to do.
That said, it can be difficult to know exactly what the community wants you to do! Australia’s taxation rules are complex – in fact, according to the government itself, each Australian faces a potential 125 taxes that they are liable to pay.
This makes it imperative that you seek qualified, quality tax advice provided by someone who is legally allowed to provide it.
Max Reinhardt
Financial and Mortgage Adviser
Max started in the finance and lending industry in 2000 and specifically financial advice in 2004 after attaining a Bachelor of Economics Honours degree at The University of Sussex, UK before settling in Australia later that year.
Max has never stopped studying as he is always looking at ways he can better assist his clients and has studied many courses in financial advice, lending and technical analysis as he continues to try and stay ahead of his competitors in terms of the knowledge he can share with his clients.
Max has quite a unique philosophy when it comes to investing as he believes the best thing about the market is that you don’t always have to be in it. Contrary to popular belief, his methods have shown that “timing” the market can result in far better results than just “time in” the market.
This has been evidenced with over 100 years of study on the Dow Jones, which has data available dating back to 1910. He has beaten markets significantly during corrections such as the GFC and Covid crash obtaining significant positive returns, whilst markets have fallen between 40-55% approximately. His Facebook page shows a call for the Covid crash 6 months in advance and clients were able to beat the market by circa 85%.
Of course such opportunities do not occur every day, but being able to form read a market does give him an edge over his competitors. His vast technical analysis study and skills can predominantly be credited to the works of W.D. Gann. He is also not afraid to utilise more modern techniques with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence to give him an even bigger advantage.
