The August installment of the Business in Heels – South West Victoria 2017 Inspiration Series is coming up next Wednesday 9th August.

Proudly part of the Great South Coast Small Business Festival, you too can join in the fun and festivities at Proudfoot’s Boathouse from 6.30pm- 8.30pm.

You’ll receive a drink on arrival and canapes prepared from fresh local produce – plus you’ll have the chance to meet and connect with like-minded business and professional women from across our region.

Membership is FREE, and if you join as a member you can come along to all our events for just $40 each – here’s the booking link for next week.

Our inspiring special guest for August is none other than The Tax Chic – me!

So often I hear the question “where do I know you from?”. Perhaps you know me from here or Bron Levett Coaching? Perhaps you were in one of the many Body Pump or Body Step Classes I instructed?  Or maybe we went to school together?

Having been described as “Professionalism packed with Personality”,
and with a passion for helping people to be their best in all facets of life, come along and hear the story behind me, the Business in Heels Branch Director, and discover what drives me and my enthusiasm for life!

PLUS I’ll be sharing 20 tips for SUCCESS – you won’t want to miss these!

I do hope to see you there, and I would ask that you share the details with your network.

PS As always there is a prize for the best shoe (heel or flat, we don’t mind!)

Regards

From today through to the 7th September, it is the 2017 Small  Business Festival as presented by Business Victoria.

I have been a huge supporter of this festival for many years as both a presenter and attendee – I’m always up for a low cost or free workshop, and I’ve found that this festival usually presents an opportunity to learn something new!

You can read about the festival and all events across Victoria here, and if you are in my neck of the woods, the link to the Great South Coast Small Business Festival (events part of the Small Business Festival but specifically held in the South Coast region of Victoria) can be found here.

I’d love to know which events you attend and what you thoughts were – let me know!

In case you’ve missed it, tax season for 2017 is in full swing!

It’s great to see so many of you getting yourselves organised, and I’m loving some of the ‘paperwork’ that’s been hitting my inbox – of course this is virtual paperwork…the best kind.

A reminder that The Tax Chic has a very simple App available on both iTunes and Android for you to use, just let me know you’re interested and I’ll get you sorted. This paperless system makes it very easy on you…

Base fees for 2017 tax returns can be found on the home page.

I look forward to helping you!

We spend a lot of time debating the merit of our deductions, but have you ever stopped to consider exactly what is your income?

Every year I find myself chasing clients for their interest earned on forgotten bank accounts, or reminding share holders that a reinvestment of dividends into more shares is still income for your income tax return.

This link to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will help you understand the income you must declare. It talks about many different types of income, including some you may not have considered.

Of course, if you have any questions about an amount you receive, you should get in touch with me so I can provide advice to you sooner rather than later.

Have a think…and make sure you declare all of your income!
