February 2025 E News
Happy February! Global markets have experienced significant shifts recently, with the US showing strong growth despite rising loan delinquencies and concerns over tech stocks like Tesla. Europe has outperformed, but inflation and geopolitical risks persist, while Australia surprised with a rate cut. For private company owners, understanding Division 7A is key to avoiding costly tax consequences when accessing company funds, so staying informed and keeping accurate records is crucial. Small businesses can also take advantage of the Small Business Energy Incentive for energy-efficient upgrades. Don’t miss there is a FREE webinar on 19 March 2025 about pricing strategies, and check out local community events in the Northern Rivers! See more below.
Over the past two months, global markets have seen key shifts. In the US, economic growth remains strong, but rising loan delinquencies and declining consumer confidence amid President Trump’s policies are creating uncertainty. The Federal Reserve is holding rates steady, and while tech stocks initially drove market gains, recent earnings concerns have led to pullbacks, particularly for Tesla. In Europe, markets have outperformed the US, with strong gains in the EuroStoxx 50, though inflation and geopolitical risks remain factors to watch. Meanwhile, Australia saw a surprise 0.25% rate cut in February, despite high inflation and low unemployment, leading to speculation of political influence. The ASX gained in January but pulled back in February, driven by weaker bank earnings. As we move forward, these developments will continue to shape the economic landscape.
If you own a private company, understanding how Division 7A applies is crucial to avoiding costly tax consequences when accessing its funds or benefits. Division 7A is an integrity rule that prevents private company profits from being provided to shareholders or their associates tax-free. While it doesn't apply to salary, wages, director fees, ordinary dividends, or certain fringe benefits, it broadly affects other payments, loans, and benefits. Common errors leading to Division 7A issues include misunderstandings about company funds, improper loan agreements, and incorrect benchmark interest rates. Many myths surrounding Division 7A contribute to these mistakes. For example, the idea that a company’s money is automatically yours, or that payments to trusts are exempt from Division 7A, can lead to costly missteps. Understanding the scope of Division 7A and keeping proper records of all transactions can help prevent unintended tax consequences and ensure compliance.
Did you know you could be eligible for a bonus tax deduction by making energy-efficient upgrades to your business? The Small Business Energy Incentive allows businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million to claim a 20% tax deduction on up to $100,000 of eligible expenses. This means you could receive up to $20,000 back for investing in energy-saving improvements! This incentive applies to eligible assets and upgrades made between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024. Think of things like switching to energy-efficient appliances, installing solar panels, or upgrading your heating and cooling systems. Not only can you save on your energy bills, but you'll also be doing your part for the environment. Find out more about eligibility and what you can claim below!
Join a FREE webinar on Wednesday, 19 March 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM AEDT, designed for small business owners across the Illawarra, South East & Tablelands, and Riverina Murray regions. This online event, hosted by Court Sayer-Roberts, a qualified small business financial counsellor with over 20 years of experience, will dive into the critical topic of pricing strategy. Don’t miss the chance to learn how to maximise your profit, understand customer perceptions of value, and implement an effective pricing review process to secure your business’s future.

A reminder, there are some important lodgement dates to note this month.
The WD Nicholls Team
Firstly, as I was on leave in January, all the best for 2025! Today I will provide a little summary on what has happened over the last 2 months.
United States:
Economic Growth and Consumer Behaviour: The US economy has continued to grow, with recent quarters showing a steady increase in GDP. Consumer spending remains robust, supported by a strong labour market. However, there are signs of stress with rising delinquencies in auto and credit card loans. Of late consumer confidence is beginning to fall due the current Presidents actions and words. Though economic data remains positive President Trump is definitely the wildcard.
Interest Rates and Federal Reserve Policies: The Federal Reserve has maintained higher interest rates, affecting mortgage rates and loan affordability. There's ongoing debate about potential rate cuts in the future, but recent communications suggest a cautious approach towards reducing rates.
Stock Market Performance: Large-cap Technology stocks have driven much of the growth in the stock market. The broader market has also seen gains, indicating healthy investor confidence despite some underlying economic uncertainties. January bounced back from its December sell-off however with reporting season now finishing up in the US we have seen some of the larger technology stocks fall with worries around the future earnings of the Magnificent 7. Telsa, in particular has sold off this month, which when you consider its current valuation this is probably not a big surprise to analysts.
Europe:
Economic Recovery and Market Performance: European markets have shown signs of recovery, outperforming the US in some aspects. The EuroStoxx 50 index, for instance, has seen considerable gains. This improvement is partly due to a weaker dollar, making European stocks more attractive. January rose over 6% with February continuing the trend (approximately 5%)
Inflation and Monetary Policy: Inflation remains a key concern, though it has eased slightly from previous highs. Central banks in Europe continue to navigate between supporting economic growth and controlling inflation, impacting both bond and equity markets
Geopolitical Influences: Ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly related to Eastern Europe, continue to pose risks to stability and economic growth. However, there have been some positive developments that might lead to more stable conditions in the upcoming months. If the Russian/Ukraine conflict is resolved this will continue to be a very positive influence on European markets.
Australia:
Interest Rates and Housing Market: The Reserve Bank of Australia finally moved on interest rates with a reduction of 0.25% in February. However, inflation is still elevated, and unemployment is still low. As a result, the Reserve bank communication to markets is not to expect rate cuts. The rate cut felt like a pre-election rate drop, in my opinion. The housing market has shown signs of cooling but remains a critical component of the national economy
Markets: Again, markets followed the US lead in January and had a positive month. However, with Australian reporting season kicking off in February, the markets have taken a backward step. This has been led by the banks which released disappointing results due to the significant share price growth they have had over the last 12 months. Again, given the banks are trading in such high valuations we would be not surprised if this trend continues.
Here are the market returns for January and February:
If you own a private company, understanding how Division 7A applies is crucial to avoiding costly tax consequences when accessing its money or other benefits.
Division 7A is an integrity rule that prevents private company profits from being provided to shareholders or their associates tax-free. It does not apply to payments of salary and wages, director fees, ordinary dividends or certain fringe benefits, but has broad application to other payments, loans and benefits. When Division 7A applies, the recipient of the payment, loan or other benefit will be deemed to have been paid an unfranked dividend that will be included in their assessable income.
Most errors the ATO sees that result in the application of Division 7A are simple in nature, including:
not recognising that your company’s money is not your money, and you can’t access it for personal use without tax consequences
loans being made without complying loan agreements
applying the wrong benchmark interest rate when calculating Division 7A loan repayments.
These errors are often the result of common myths held about Division 7A and how it works.
Check out these common myths that cause Division 7A mistakes.
Business structure
The tax consequences are the same if I operate my business as a sole trader, partnership, trust or private company.
Each type of business structure comes with its own set of rules and key tax obligations.
If you run your business through a private company, Division 7A may apply to payments and other benefits provided by your company to its shareholders and their associates. For more information, see Entities and taxpayers affected.
If I own a company, I can use the company money any way I like.
A company is a separate legal entity. It's separate to you, even if you are a shareholder or a director or both. This means the company’s money is not your money, and there will be consequences every time you take money or access other benefits from your private company.
You can access private company money in the form of salary and wages, directors fees or dividends. All of these amounts will be included in the recipient’s assessable income. Private companies may also provide fringe benefits to its employees, including directors.
Division 7A may apply to private use of assets or money from your private company in a way not described, for example as:
payments by private companies (including use of assets)
loans by private companies
debt forgiveness by private companies.
Division 7A only applies to the shareholders of my private company.
Division 7A applies to both shareholders and associates of shareholders. The definition of an associate is broad and depends on what type of entity the shareholder is. For example, for individual shareholders, an associate can include their relatives, spouse, children, a company they control (or their associate controls) or a trustee of a trust that they (or their associate) can benefit from.
Record keeping
I don't need to keep records when my private company makes payments, loans, or provides other benefits to other entities.
You are legally required to keep records of all transactions relating to your tax affairs when you are running a business. You should adopt good record-keeping practices to ensure you identify and account for all payments, loans and other benefits correctly. Failing to do so can result in unintended consequences, including breaching Division 7A.
I can record a dividend in a journal entry, after an income year has ended, and use that to effectively offset my minimum yearly repayment obligation for that income year.
A journal entry, without other supporting evidence and contemporaneous action, won't be effective to offset a minimum yearly repayment obligation on a complying loan.
The dividend and minimum yearly repayment obligations must exist at the time of the offset and the borrower and the company must have agreed to the offsets. The agreement and offsets must be made by the end of the income year, usually 30 June.
Payments to other entities
There are no tax consequences if I use my private company’s money to fund another business or income earning activity.
Division 7A may apply to any loan a private company makes (directly or indirectly) to its shareholders or their associates. Division 7A may apply regardless of what the loan recipient uses the amounts for, including for any taxable purpose.
Division 7A may apply where a shareholder or their associate use a private company’s assets for private purposes.
I can avoid Division 7A by making payments or loans to shareholders and their associates through other entities.
Division 7A may apply to payments or loans made from a private company through other entities, where the private company’s shareholder or their associate is the target entity to whom the payment or loan is ultimately directed. The other entities involved in this type of arrangement are called interposed entities. For Division 7A purposes, an interposed entity can be an individual, company, partnership or trust.
Division 7A won’t apply to payments or loans my private company makes to trusts.
Division 7A may apply to payments or loans made from private companies to trusts. Division 7A may also apply to trust entitlements of private company beneficiaries.
Division 7A interest rate
The interest rate I use to calculate my minimum yearly repayment on my complying Division 7A loan is the same every year.
You need to calculate your minimum yearly repayment for each income year using the benchmark interest rate for that particular income year. The benchmark interest rate generally changes each year.
Attempts to circumvent Division 7A
I can avoid Division 7A by:
temporarily repaying my loan before the private company’s lodgment day
using the company’s money to make my repayments.
A repayment you make on a loan by a private company may not be taken into account if you reborrow similar or larger amounts from the company after making the repayment, or you use money borrowed from the company to make the repayment.
The net assets amount in the distributable surplus calculation will be a negative amount if the company’s liabilities exceed its assets.
Net assets, in the distributable surplus calculation, means the amount (if any) by which the company’s assets exceed its present legal obligations and certain provisions. The net assets will be zero if the company’s net assets don't exceed these amounts.
The Commissioner's discretion
If I trigger a Division 7A deemed dividend, the Commissioner will exercise a discretion in my favour to disregard it.
You can't assume the Commissioner will exercise a discretion in your favour if you trigger a Division 7A deemed dividend.
There are various discretions available to the Commissioner for Division 7A purposes. For the Commissioner to exercise a discretion in your favour, you must meet certain conditions, and your circumstances must support the exercise of the discretion.
The Commissioner will exercise the section 109RB discretion in my favour because I relied on advice from a tax professional.
Whether the Commissioner will exercise the discretion under section 109RB where you have relied on advice from your tax professional will depend on your individual circumstances.
The actions of the tax professional must have contributed to the breach, and your reliance on their advice must have been reasonable. Relevant factors would include the disclosures you made to your adviser, the nature of their advice and whether the adviser made an honest mistake or inadvertent omission.
It will be difficult to demonstrate that you have reasonably relied upon professional advice for Division 7A purposes where no Division 7A advice is obtained or where your adviser has not turned their mind to the application of Division 7A to your circumstances.

About the energy incentive
The small business energy incentive is designed to help businesses improve energy efficiency and save on energy bills.
Businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $50 million will have access to a bonus 20% tax deduction for the cost of eligible assets and improvements that support more efficient use of energy.
The incentive applies to eligible expenditure on assets between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 (the ‘bonus period’).
The incentive also applies to eligible expenditure on improvements to existing assets incurred during the bonus period.
Up to $100,000 of total expenditure will be eligible for the incentive, with the maximum bonus tax deduction being $20,000.
The bonus deduction is separate and additional to other deductions you would ordinarily claim under taxation law.
Eligibility
The following must be met to access the small business energy incentive:
Your business needs to meet the standard aggregated annual turnover rules (with an increased $50 million threshold).
The expenditure being claimed must be deductible to your business under other provisions in the taxation law.
For expenditure on eligible assets during the bonus period the asset must be both:
first used or installed ready for use for any purpose, andused or installed ready for use for a taxable purpose.
For most entities, this means that if you first use or install an asset for any purpose before 1 July 2023, you cannot claim a bonus deduction for the cost of the asset. This is the case even if you do not use the asset for a taxable purpose until the bonus period.
For improvements to existing assets, the expenditure must be incurred during the bonus period.
Find out if you are eligible for other bonus deductions at Small business skills and training boost.
What you can claim
The bonus deduction is available for eligible expenditure on depreciating assets and improvements to assets that increase the energy efficiency of your business.
Depreciating asset
The bonus deduction applies to expenditure on a depreciating asset that is both first used or installed ready for use for any purpose, and installed ready for use for a taxable purpose, between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024.
A depreciating asset may be eligible for the bonus deduction if it uses electricity and when one or more of the following apply:
there is a new reasonably comparable asset that uses a fossil fuel available in the market
the asset is more energy efficient than the asset it is replacing
if it is not a replacement, it is more energy efficient than a new reasonably comparable asset available in the market.
Available in the market means that you could have readily purchased the comparable asset either locally or on the internet in the same time period.
A depreciating asset may also be eligible if it is an energy storage, time-shifting or monitoring asset, or an asset that improves the energy efficiency of another asset.
A depreciating asset can be a second-hand asset but the comparable asset must be available in the market as new.
Expenditure eligible for the bonus deduction may include, but is not limited to, expenditure on:
electrifying equipment (for example, installing a reverse cycle air conditioner in place of a gas heater)
upgrading to more energy efficient appliances and equipment (for example, energy efficient refrigeration systems)
installing time-shifting devices which allow electrical appliances to operate at off-peak times
replacing a diesel engine with an electric motor
installing a Virtual Power Plant enabled battery system.
Where the expenditure is partly for private purposes, the bonus deduction is worked out with reference to the business-related portion of that expenditure.
If your business is registered for GST and the expenditure is not GST-free, the bonus deduction is calculated on the amount of expenditure less the GST amount claimable as an input tax credit.
Energy efficiency
You can use any reasonable basis to determine if an asset is more energy efficient than another asset. For example, you can refer to the electricity consumption information provided by the manufacturer to compare assets.
You can also check out energy.gov.auExternal Link for advice on energy saving opportunities. Energy ratings are one of the tools you can use for comparing the energy efficiency of appliances. The Energy Rating CalculatorExternal Link includes a star rating to compare different models – the more stars a product has, the greater the energy efficiency rating.
We will generally accept any reasonable basis for this including an assumption that that a new asset will be more energy efficient than a very old asset (for example, one manufactured before energy efficiency ratings were in place).
Record keeping
In line with general record keeping requirements for taxpayers, you should keep records that confirm the expenditure claimed and explain how you compared different assets when upgrading or making improvements. Any electronic records must be in a form we can access.
Depreciation and the instant asset write-off
If your business has an aggregated annual turnover of less than $10 million, you may be eligible to claim both the instant asset write-off and the energy incentive in the 2023–24 income year.
The bonus deduction is equal to 20% of eligible expenditure. This means regardless of the method of deduction you use (that is whether immediate or over time), the deduction is calculated based on the expenditure incurred on the eligible asset or improvement.
What you can't claim
You can’t claim the bonus deduction for:
assets and expenditure on assets that can use a fossil fuel (except if that use is merely incidental such as where an asset uses an oil-based lubricant)
assets and expenditure on assets which have the sole or predominant purpose of generating electricity (such as solar panels)
capital works
motor vehicles (including hybrid and electric vehicles) and expenditure on motor vehicles
expenditure allocated to software development pools
financing costs, including interest and borrowing expenses.
You cannot claim the bonus deduction if a balancing adjustment event occurs to the asset during the bonus period, unless the event is an involuntary disposal (for example, the asset is lost or destroyed).
Research and development tax incentive
If your business is entitled to a research and development (R&D) notional deduction under the R&D tax incentive program, you are only entitled to the notional R&D deduction and not a deduction under other taxation law. Your bonus deduction is still claimed based on what that other deduction would have been.
You can claim both the bonus deduction and the R&D notional deduction. The bonus deduction will not affect the amount of the R&D notional deduction. The R&D notional deduction amount is the actual expenditure amount, not the expenditure amount and the bonus deduction amount.
When you can claim
You generally claim a deduction in the income year the expenses are incurred.
For depreciating assets first used or installed ready for use during the bonus period, you must claim the bonus deduction in the income year in which the asset is first used or installed ready for use, which must also be the income year the asset is used for a taxable purpose.
For improvements made to existing assets, you must claim the bonus deduction in the income year in which the expenditure on the improvement is incurred.
An entity with a substituted accounting period may claim the bonus deduction across more than one income year, provided the eligible asset was first used or installed ready for use, or the improvement cost was incurred, during the bonus period.
The maximum amount you can claim as a bonus deduction under the energy incentive is $20,000. If you can claim the bonus deduction across more than one income year, then the maximum amount of the bonus deduction you can claim in a subsequent income year is reduced by any amount claimed in the previous income year. This ensures that the $20,000 cap on bonus deductions applies equally to businesses with normal accounting periods and with substituted accounting periods.

About
When was the last time you reviewed the prices for products or services in your business? Are you confident that you correctly identified all actual costs before setting the price?
One of the best ways to achieve profit in your business is to review your pricing strategy. Whatever your costs are you must add a margin that makes your business financially viable before you determine the price. Completely flawed methods of pricing that will cause a business to fail include an owner having a 'hunch' as to what customers can afford, pegging your prices to competitors (who may be about to fail), and just adding an incremental increase periodically without checking actual costs.
This webinar is aimed at small businesses throughout Illawarra, South East & Tablelands and Riverina Murray who have just started or have an established business and we have the capacity to host up to 50 people.
Learning Objectives
Learn how to conduct a pricing review including accurately identifying all costs.
Maximise profit by determining which pricing strategy is best for your business including identifying what viable margin needs to be added to costs.
Gain an understanding how customers perceive value and dispel the myth that customers are price sensitive.
Learning Outcomes
Avoid a business failure due to incorrect pricing by immediately implementing a comprehensive pricing review.
Maximise revenue by promoting to your customers the total value of your products and services (price is merely one component of customer value).
Ensure profitability into the future by implementing a regular timeline for a pricing review such as quarterly, or at the very least annually.
