Welcome to June — the most financially significant month of the year for millions of Australians. With exactly 30 days until the financial year closes on June 30, this is your final window to implement strategies, make contributions, and take actions that will shape your 2025–26 tax outcome.

June is the month where the difference between being proactive and reactive becomes most apparent. Those who've been planning since April will spend June executing a well-rehearsed strategy. Those who haven't thought about it yet will spend June scrambling — and likely missing out on thousands of dollars in savings.

But it's not too late. At TaxSmart Cafe, we see clients every year who come in on June 1 and still walk away with significantly improved tax positions. Thirty days is enough time to make super contributions, sell loss-making investments, prepay deductible expenses, make charitable donations, and get your records in order for a smooth July lodgement.

This month, every TaxSmart Cafe post will be urgent, actionable, and deadline-focused. We'll count down the days to June 30 and give you a daily action item. Let's make the most of every remaining day in this financial year.

We're technically past mid-year from a calendar perspective, but the June financial mid-year health check is a ritual that every Australian should adopt. It's the moment to pause, assess, and make sure you're on track for both your tax obligations and your broader financial goals.

Start with your income: have your earnings this year been in line with your expectations? Higher income than expected means your employer may have under-withheld tax — you might want to make additional PAYG payments or voluntary super contributions to avoid a bill. Lower income than expected may mean you've been over-withholding — your employer can adjust.

Next, review your deductions: do you have records and receipts for everything you plan to claim? This is a crucial check — receipts get lost, apps fail, and memories fade. Use the ATO's myDeductions app to add anything that isn't already recorded.

For investors: review your portfolio's tax position for the year. Any large capital gains should be matched against available losses. Any loss-making positions should be assessed — is there value in selling before June 30 to realise the loss for this year?

TaxSmart Cafe offers a formal Mid-Year Financial Health Check as part of our EOFY service. It takes about 45 minutes and gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what to do before June 30.
