June means one thing for most self-employed tradies - countdown to tax time. In this month's newsletter I'll be talking about a couple of easy strategies to reduce your tax bill.

As well as helping to reduce your tax, we'll also be throwing around some cash. We have $250 worth of Bunnings vouchers to give away, simply read on to see how you could win.

Tell us what you think and you could win $100!

We love hearing your feedback, and now we've decided to put together a testimonials page for our website.

If you've had a good experience with Trade Insure, write up a quick testimonial, email it to info@tradeinsure.com.au and you'll go straight into the draw to win a $100 Bunnings voucher!

Reducing your tax bill

Regardless of whether you're self-employed or an employee, one easy way to reduce your tax bill is to take out a new income protection policy and pay the annual premium prior to June 30.

Premiums on income protection are 100% tax deductible, regardless of whether you're self-employed or not.

If you're self-employed, you can also reduce your tax bill by making a tax-deductible contribution to your superannuation fund.

Although we specialise in insurance, we are also qualified and licensed to provide advice on super, and we're happy to work in conjunction with your accountant to ensure your super is structured in the right way.

If you'd like more information on possible tax reduction strategies please contact Shane on 0439 869 682.

Transferring policies to Trade Insure

Do you have other insurance policies with a different broker or adviser? If they aren't giving you the service you deserve, now you can do something about it without having to cancel your policies.

Simply complete our 1 page transfer form to transfer your policies to Trade Insure, and you can receive the same great Trade Insure service and advice on all of your policies. Transferring won't cost you a cent and won't change your policy at all.

Need more incentive? Transfer your policies to Trade Insure before the end of June and you'll go into the draw for another $100 Bunnings voucher!

Simply call Shane on 0439 869 682 or email shane@tradeinsure.com.au to obtain a copy of the form.

* The only types of insurance that can be transferred are income protection, life insurance, TPD and trauma insurance. Any policies to be transferred must have been running for at least 12 months.
