Westcourt Private Business Accountants

Westcourt Private Business Accountants Westcourt helps families, and the businesses that they own, become great. We do this by letting you Westcourt has one focus.

We make family owned businesses great. We were born from a family business through a sub-lease in Dad's office. And over the next 19 years we have grown and developed a deep understanding of the family, business, financial and tax issues that face family owned businesses. Our targeted focus on a select group of clients means that we have developed a deep understanding of how families in business

work, think and act. We do not offer an ever increasing range of services to an even larger number of clients and dilute our focus. So that means we give great advice and change the lives of the families we help and the businesses they own. So if you want somebody to assist you who has started a business, who is independent and who understands the business and tax issues facing families in business: talk to us.

Alternative Equity Incentives for Perth Private Groups: When the Standard Schemes Don't Fit

When founder shareholdings or a company's growth push it outside the standard employee share scheme concessions, Perth private groups still have options, premium priced options for founders over the ownership threshold, carefully structured grants for key contractors, and phantom plans or co-investment vehicles for family offices rewarding senior staff. Each alternative carries its own trap (valuation timing, deemed employment rules, value shifting, or employment taxes) that can surface years later at exit if it isn't planned for upfront.

Bought before the Budget, but settled after? The date that matters might not be the one you think. 👀

In this reel, Craig explains how the timing of your rental property contract can affect eligibility for the CGT discount under the changes discussed, including what happens when the contract was subject to finance.

When it comes to property and tax, a single date can make a significant difference, so understanding how the rules apply to your circumstances is essential.

Have questions about how the changes could affect your property? Get in touch with the Westcourt team.

For Perth start-ups competing for great people, salary isn’t the only thing on the table.

A qualifying Employee Share Scheme can give employees a genuine stake in the business they’re helping to build, with potential tax advantages that can make equity significantly more attractive. Under the start-up concession, eligible employees can receive shares or options without income tax arising at grant, vesting or exercise, with tax generally deferred until the shares are eventually sold.

But the rules are strict. Company age, turnover, ownership limits, offer terms and, importantly, the market valuation at the date of grant can determine whether the concession applies. Getting one of these wrong can mean falling back into the ordinary Employee Share Scheme tax rules.

If you’re considering offering equity to your team, getting the structure right before anything is signed matters.

Read our latest article to learn how start-up Employee Share Schemes work and what Perth businesses should consider before making an offer.

Does everyone really get a $1,000 tax deduction? Short answer: yes, but a deduction isn't the same as cash back in your pocket.

What you actually save depends on your tax bracket. On $200k a year, that $1,000 deduction nets you around $470 in tax savings. On the lowest tax bracket, it drops to about $190.

Same deduction, very different outcome depending on your circumstances. Got questions about your own situation? Reach out to the team at Westcourt.

🚨 Received a text claiming to be from the ATO? Stop before you click.

Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, and fake ATO text messages are one of the most common ways they target Australians.

In this video, Craig explains how to recognise these scams, what the ATO will (and won't) contact you about, and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself.

A few moments of caution can save you from a costly mistake.

If you're ever unsure whether a message is genuine, speak with your accountant before taking action.
