Tax mining – making sure you get every dollar

For the last few years, every Federal Budget has brought tax cuts. It’s important to make sure you dig deep to find every dollar of tax saving possible.

Changes to Superannuation

The superannuation system is changing from 1 July 2007. According to the Government the changes should mean most people would receive more from their super.

Employment termination payments

Eligible termination payments as they currently exist will be replaced by "employment" termination payments and superannuation benefits from 1 July 2007.

Employee leaving ? Know your employer obligations

Are you aware of your obligations when an employee leaves?

Bentleys MRI Aged Care Survey

The 12^th annual National Aged Care Survey has been completed and we are holding a breakfast at Riversdale Golf Club on Wednesday 18 July 2007 to present an overview of the survey.

The breakfast will be hosted by Martin Fensome, Partner of Aged Care Services at Bentleys MRI. At this event, Martin will present and discuss the findings and trends from the survey and detail how to participate in the upcoming 2007 survey.

The survey shows stronger financial returns in the Low Care services but reduced returns in the High Care services. This has strong implications for the operators in the sector as they come to grips with changes in the types of users of residential care and further changes in the regulatory environment.

If you would like to attend the event, please call Penny on 03 9274 0623 or email pw@melb.bentleys.com.au.
