Don’t want to end up here? Learn how to pay less taxes legally
It’s my passion in life, my personal mantra and motto to show people how to pay less taxes legally. A decade of being one of the “bad guys”, a tax auditor for the ATO, has given me nothing but a renewed passion to reduce the tax burdens of Australians everywhere.
Most people assume that the ATO are a bunch of bumbling fools that couldn’t find their feet with a map. I don’t assume that. After working there for ten years, I know it. And if you’re convinced that the Australian government is a bunch of gold-digging predators, why would you want to give them more of your money?
Can You 100% Legally Avoid Paying Taxes?
Absolutely!
It’s not only possible. It’s highly recommended.
Each year, the Australian Taxation Office releases statistics about the 14+ million tax returns they receive each year. To my nerdy brain, this is like Christmas in July.
According to a recent Guardian article, there is an interesting trend that the rich are paying less tax than they ever have before. Through legal strategies and procedures, there are several millionaires that have even managed to pay $0 in taxes on their income, an increase again from previous years. Thousands of high-income earners learned how to pay less taxes legally, getting their reported income below the tax-free threshold of $18,200.
In another article posted by the Sydney Morning Herald, Peter Martin reported that of the 56 top earners (making an average of $2.3 million each), only 2 actually paid income tax.
Some of the interesting points to take note of are that these ultra-wealthy tax avoiders use tactics like claiming negatively-geared property, reporting losses, and establishing offshore foundations and entities. They all highly value the assistance of a tax accountant to set up structures that enable them to do this, 100% legally. We can use these high-income earners as a way to model what you should do with your own tax, also completely legal and within the parameters of the Australian tax law.
But what I want to point out is that the wealthy have a vested interest in protecting their wealth. The bottom line is that they care more than the average Australian about legally paying less taxes. But the strategies and techniques they employ aren’t exclusively for them.
“People who complain about taxes can be divided into two classes: men and women.”
