Laryng Idis really throws 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: you under a bus. 19 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 4: Are you feeling better? 20 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm feeling so much better. Can you hear my voice? 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: I feel like there's like a slight pang of illness still. Okay, 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: you know that kind where you like, here is someone 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: and you just don't want to be in the same 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: room as them that you are. 25 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: They're locked in for the day already, guys. It is 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: officially reporting season. So today we're going to discuss how 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 4: to read a dividend statement, how to report any income 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 4: from shares, and what exactly you should be looking for 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 4: in a company's financials. 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: That's overwhelming, g it is overwhelming, straight into the hard stuff. 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: But before we get there, what the devil is reporting season? 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Oh you don't know? Well, I feel like I get 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: the gist, But for anyone who's listening, it is like 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: g in Layman's terms, it's basically when companies let all 35 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: of their investors know how their business is going. Let's 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: comeanes who outperform do a little bit of a victory 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: lap around the office. Well, CEOs that miss expectations, they 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: have to face the music. So it's a time of 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: the year where everything kind of just like comes to 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: a peak. We're talking about it. It does coincide with 41 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: end of financial year because all of the finances have 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: come through, and it's basically a time when a lot 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: of financial advisors having a relook at people's portfolios to 44 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: see if we should be rebalancing or taking some stuff 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: out or putting some stuff in. It's just it's a 46 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: time where you just have a lot of fresh data. 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: Really obviously, you could do that at any point during 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: the year and go, oh, well, I'll read their annual report. 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: But it's basically when all the information is super fresh 50 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: and super new, and it's when a lot of people 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: are making a lot of decisions. 52 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 4: So is this when they put out their annual reports? 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: That is that what it is? 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: Yes, it is. Obviously companies can put out their annual 55 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: reports whenever they want to, but end of financial year 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: is pretty traditional when it comes to you know, reporting 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: on business financials kind of makes sense. 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: So when exactly is reporting season, V's like a week 59 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 4: at the end of the financial year? Is it a day? 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Look like? So it's kind of like a whole season. 61 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: So almost every company that is on the ASX is 62 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: going to report they're half year financials. Keeping in mind 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: half year is in of half financial year, not in 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: a real year. So that's actually late January early February, 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: and then their full year results are going to come 66 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: out late August. And that's basically because in June thirty 67 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: they have all of July and August to do some 68 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: reporting and some analysis and then get it out to investors. 69 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people actually expect it 70 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: on June thirty. They're like, well, where's my income statement 71 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: or where's my dividend statement, or you know, when can 72 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: I download the tax report from my investor portal? And 73 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: they're offended that it's not available on July the first, 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, actually, they need time to pull 75 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: this stuff together and actually have those end of financial 76 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: year numbers so that then they can run their report. 77 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: So it does take a little bit longer than you 78 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: would anticipate, which is why we're talking about it now, 79 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: because people's expectations might be, Hey, I want it, it's 80 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: going to be July really soon, and it's not actually 81 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: that common to get your financial report. What's on the 82 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: thirtieth of June, Okay if that makes sense, Yeah, yeah, 83 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: because that's when the numbers are finally cut, right, Like 84 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: that's the last day of reporting and they need to 85 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: analyze it. It's kind of like you're not able to 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: do the union assignment until you have all the information, 87 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: and you only get the information on the thirty of 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: the June. 89 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: G A perfect analogy. But now we have covered this before, 90 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 4: but we're gonna start with the basics today. Can you 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: please run us through once again what a dividend is. 92 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: A dividend g is sexy. It's sexy, it's a sexy thing. 93 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: It's essentially when a company gives you a small portion 94 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: of their profit. Like if you're a shareholder and you 95 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: own a share you are entitled to one that tiny 96 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: portion of that company, but also that tiny portion of 97 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: that company's profit. So that's when you get your little profit. 98 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: On the side, you get paid for being a little 99 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: share owner. 100 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 4: Stunning. 101 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: I think it's stunning. So common shareholders of dividend paying 102 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: companies are typically eligible as long as they own the 103 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: stock before the ex dividend date. So you could technically 104 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: go and purchase a dividend stock tomorrow G and have 105 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: it pay a dividend for the next day, which is 106 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: a bit of a money win. And why some people 107 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: really I won't call it timing the market, because we 108 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: all know we can't time the market, but some people 109 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: time their purchasers with when dividend payouts are going to be, 110 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: so you don't really want to go, oh, a dividend 111 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: payout is going to happen in July, and then you're 112 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: buying the share in August and have to wait nearly 113 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: a full twelve months to get another dividend payout like 114 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: that wouldn't make a lot of sense in the grand 115 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: scheme of things. We don't often time it that way, 116 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: but some people do want to take it into consideration. 117 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: And dividends can either be paid out in cash, so 118 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: it would be money that ends up back in your 119 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: trading account, or it could be paid out in extra stock. 120 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: So if you've got a dividend reinvestment plan ticked when 121 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: you signed up, it would automatically mean that you would 122 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: just be reissued a small amount of stock instead of 123 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: some cash. 124 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 4: And not all shares paid dividends, so right, no. 125 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: C gee, they are not all created equal. And that's 126 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: why when we are putting together an investing strategy, we 127 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: really need to think about whether we want dividends or 128 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: we're after capital growth. There are lots of different reasons 129 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: why we would pick a particular shit, and actually, you 130 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: know progress that into our portfolios. Some of us actually 131 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: really want dividend shares more often than not. If you're 132 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: a really conservative investor, that's probably what you're chasing, and 133 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: dividend shares are. They're kind of like the Holy Grail, right, 134 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: like you own something, it increases in value over time 135 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: and it pays you like what a money win. So 136 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people want that. But you'll note that 137 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: those good, consistent, trusty dividend shares are usually relatively expensive. 138 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: So you're looking at a suite of shares that are 139 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: usually referred to as blue chip stocks. So you've probably 140 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: heard this before, and a blue chip stock is basically 141 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: just a very conservative stock. It is tried and true 142 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: in the market. It is a very large business that 143 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: is very unlikely to go under, and they are usually 144 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: commodities or banks or things like iron ore where you're 145 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: going to you know what doesn't matter when this isn't 146 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: an ethical argument. If you want to go and listen 147 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: to one of our ethical podcasts, absolutely do. But we 148 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: know Australia is going to continue to produce that because 149 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: it's a very big commodity that comes out of Australia, 150 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: and we know that that share is going to consistently 151 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: perform because we know that that resource is not limited 152 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: here in Australia. So for me, when I look at 153 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: the portfolio, or I look at what I'm doing with 154 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: a client's share portfolio and whether I want capital growth 155 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: or dividend yield. It actually goes back to risk profile. 156 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: And you know when we were talking ages ago on 157 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: another episode about risk profile, it's really like, gee, do 158 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: you want to take more risk or do you just 159 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: want the tried and true and steady steed that like 160 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: it's going to pay their dividend. Like if you look 161 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: at a NAB share, I'm not saying go and buy NAB. 162 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: This is not a recommendation. It's just an example because 163 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: I was writing another chapter of my book last week 164 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: and I was talking about dividend yield and I was 165 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: talking about how it works, and I was like, how 166 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: can I do this? I'm just going to pick NAB YEP. 167 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: It was the first one that came to mind. And 168 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: they have not not paid a dividend since like nineteen 169 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: sixty four or something. 170 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: That's ridiculous. 171 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: So every single quarter they are paying their investors a dividend, 172 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: whether it is big or small. They are just consistent. 173 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: And that's why a lot of people just want to 174 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: hold things like NAB and like Blue Scope Steel in 175 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: their portfolios. Because they're like, do you know what. It 176 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: might not rise in value significantly over time, but what 177 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: I will do is start to generate an income. And 178 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people will really value income in a 179 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: portfolio because they're like, well, that is the thing that 180 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm chasing anyway, Does that make sense? 181 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 4: It does make sense. But you said that in your 182 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: hypothetical that NAB might pay them quarterly their dividends. Is 183 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 4: that like the standard if you are getting no okay, So. 184 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: Everybody does it differently. NAB pays once every six months 185 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: or so. Sometimes they'll have a special dividend distribution, like 186 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: if they've had a really big profit or there's been 187 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: a really big event in the world and they want 188 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: to distribute money to some investors, they will do what's 189 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: called a special dividend run and they will then pay 190 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: that out. Not very common, but important to know it exists. 191 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: But usually it's either every six months or every year. 192 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Some companies do pay quarterly. That's why it's important to 193 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: keep an eye on your share trading account and just 194 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: see what's coming in and what's coming out, and if 195 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: you are an individual share investor, knowing when that's going 196 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: to happen is important because in the long run, that's 197 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: actually going to become your income, like in the future. 198 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: That's the point of investing. It's not to save up 199 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: two million dollars George and go, oh my gosh, now 200 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: I have a portfolio worth two million dollars. I'm going 201 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: to start spending it and drawing it down, Like, that's 202 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: not the point. The point is to keep that money invested. 203 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: And if you have two million dollars invested and you 204 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: are going off a five percent yield, and you go, 205 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: I would hope to get five percent every year, you 206 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: actually have one hundred thousand dollars in dividends coming in 207 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: every single year. So like that sounds like the dream. 208 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: Obviously that's a very large example, and that's not achievable 209 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. But if you created a 210 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: two million dollar investment portfolio, you'd have one hundred grand 211 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: a year coming in in dividends, and that would become 212 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: your income, so you didn't have to go to work anymore, 213 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: your passive income. 214 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 4: You're learning on a little bit here Via it's tax time. 215 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: I'm a new investor and I've just received my first 216 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 4: ever dividend statement. 217 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: Congratulations, Thank you so much. 218 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 4: Break it down for me though, what does it tell me? 219 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 4: What does it mean? Talk me through it. 220 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: So, if an Australian company pays or credits you with 221 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: a dividend or a non shared dividend, the company must 222 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: also send you a dividend statement or a distribution statement. 223 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: This is going to tell you a number of things. 224 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: So it could tell you the name of the entity 225 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: that is making the distribution, the date, the amount of 226 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: the distribution, any amount of franking credits. So franking credits 227 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: we can dive into a little bit later, but they 228 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: are a massive money win and one of my favorite 229 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: things about the super environment. We'll come back to that. 230 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: They will tell you where the distribution is unfranked and 231 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: a statement to that effect, and they will tell you 232 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: the amount of tax that was withheld if you didn't 233 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: give them your TFN. So it look there's a lot 234 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: of information on these statements and regardless of whether you 235 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: have been issued with a profit or not, you will 236 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: get one to let you know how your shares are performing. 237 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: I also think it's important to point out here because 238 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking a lot about distribution of dividends that's not 239 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: a given. Like a lot of companies and As we 240 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: said before, NAB was a good example of a consistent 241 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: dividend yielding share that's expensive to buy. That doesn't mean 242 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: that every single other share that is classified as a 243 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: dividend share is always going to pay you a dividend. 244 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: Like if the company's not doing well, like you're not 245 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: going to get some of their profit g because there's 246 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: no profit to be shared. If they've just broken even, 247 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: they might go, well, we don't have, you know, enough 248 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: leftover to give to shareholders. Sometimes in smaller, like more 249 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: growing companies, So you think about shares like, you know 250 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: how last year our community were going wild for after paid. 251 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: They were like, oh my god, after pay shares are 252 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: so good. They've increased by xyz. Great, But they never 253 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: paid a dividend and they didn't pay a dividend because 254 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: that company is relatively new. And because they are relatively new, 255 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: every single dollar in profit that they were making they 256 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: were reinvesting back into the business to grow the business, 257 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: which is why they had such good capital growth, both 258 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: because they were able to reinvest in the business. So 259 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: you've got to know the underlying strategy of the business 260 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: that you're putting in your portfolio. Because a lot of 261 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: people made a mistake when they looked at it and said, 262 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: oh my god, but I'll put after paying my portfolio 263 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: because they're performing so much better than something else. But 264 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: they didn't take into consideration the dividend yield or the 265 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: amount of passive income they'd make from that share all 266 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: they got with an after pay share, not to throw 267 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: them under of us, like we're not talking about the 268 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: actual business here. No, no, no, we're not talking about 269 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: the actual business here. We're talking about the share they 270 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: would buy it. It would increase in value, but you 271 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: only actually get to crystallize that value if you sell 272 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: your share. And if we are you know, shees on 273 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: the money investors and we are long term investors, why 274 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: are you selling your share so quickly after buying it? 275 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: So I think it's about buy and hold strategies from 276 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: my perspective, because as you guys know, I don't ever 277 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: want you to invest for a short period of time 278 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: because it's just too risky and a lot of things 279 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: could happen. And do you know what did happen during 280 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: that period of time where people were going a bit 281 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: ham on after they were like, oh my god, I 282 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: bought it, and then I sold it for X they 283 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: didn't take into consideration capital gains tax, and you get 284 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: taxed at fifty percent. If you sell your share or 285 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: your asset within the first twelve months, you have to 286 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: hold it longer than twelve months to get your CGT discount. 287 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: And if you didn't do that and you bought it 288 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: and then you sold it and you thought you made 289 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: this big profit, come June thirty, when tax time comes, 290 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: the taxman comes knocking on your door and says, hey, gee, 291 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: you actually bought and sold an asset, didn't hold it 292 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: more than twelve months. You actually owe us some additional tax. 293 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: And you go, what that's not. 294 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 4: Thought you've been clever. 295 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: You thought you'd being clever, but we got you. Yeah. 296 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: And in the same thing happened with bitcoin because so 297 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: many people burned and churned through bitcoin that they were like, 298 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: oh my god, I made so much money and then 299 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: they had to like lose half of their profit to tax. Yeah, 300 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: so people forget about TAT sucks. That sucks. That's why 301 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about it. That's why we're like, oh, let's 302 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: talk about reporting season. 303 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: That's why we're here. 304 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: Because Victoria thinks it's really sexy. 305 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 4: So on the tax theme. B I think I know 306 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 4: the answer to this. But when it comes to dividends, 307 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 4: they're technically a form of income. They are a form 308 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 4: of income, So I'm assuming we need to pay tax 309 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: on them. Yes, you do so, magical cotes. 310 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: So it depends on how you're holding your shares. Let's 311 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: just say you're a salary and way journing employee. You 312 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: have a few thousand dollars worth of shares. You are 313 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: going to pay tax on that income at your marginal 314 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: tax rate. So are they's thirty two and a half 315 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: cents on the dollar or not, It doesn't matter. It 316 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: will just be at your marginal tax rate. In saying that, 317 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Like a lot of people are like, 318 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't know if I want to 319 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: invest because I just don't want the tax implications. My friends, 320 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: if you are paying tax, you are making money. We 321 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: just need to plan for it. Yeah, we just need 322 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: to plan for it. And I get a bit frustrated 323 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: about tax And I've been having this conversation with a 324 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: few people in our community recently because they're so quote 325 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: frustrated or annoyed by the tax system and how much 326 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: money they lose like that money was never yours, Like 327 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: the entire time you have ever worked here in Australia, 328 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: if you are listening to this podcast, you have paid 329 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: some form of tax and we have note about it. 330 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: Like if you say, G, I earn eighty grand a year, 331 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: No you don't. That is your pre tax income. Let's 332 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: just look at post tax, because I think too many 333 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: times people get so caught up on oh but I 334 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: had to pay this, No, like that was a given. 335 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: We've always had to pay tax. It is a privilege 336 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: to live in a country where we pay tax and 337 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: have the support system and the infrastructure around us that 338 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: enables us to live in such a free country. I'm 339 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: a bit triggered by it this week, G because I 340 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: do genuinely want to change people's mindsets around paying tax 341 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: and see it as a privilege. We just need to 342 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: full plan for it. And that just means having a 343 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: good banking system in place. That just means putting money 344 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: aside when it comes in and not going, oh my gosh, 345 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: I got paid twenty dollars in dividends and then twenty 346 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: dollars go straight out, Like we do need to make 347 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: sure that we're putting some money aside for tax and 348 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: being smart about it, because I think we get the 349 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: most frustrated with tax when it pops up at tax 350 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: time and you just forgotten. It's really exaustrating, and we 351 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: can actually avoid that with some good planning. 352 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, so when you have to pay that bulk sum, 353 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 4: it's much more intimidating. Yeah, plugging away as you go exactly. 354 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: But you mentioned before franked difends. They're the sexiest kind 355 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 4: of dividends. G tell me why, because every time it 356 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 4: comes up for some reason, I just I never remember. 357 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 4: All I can think of is like a frankfurt That's 358 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 4: literally what is in my brain is like a mini sausage. 359 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: That's all any sausage. 360 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 4: I never remember what they are. 361 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: Growing up, My mum used to call them little boys. Yeah, okay, 362 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: I just should we put that on the podcast? I 363 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: don't know. Now I think about that, and it's twenty 364 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: twenty two. I'm like, that's suspicious. That is not okay. Also, 365 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: what are they made of? 366 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 4: I don't think we want to know. 367 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't think, like, how are they so read on 368 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: the outside? I don't at I don't know nothing like 369 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: a frank dividend, though, tell me about those. So, a 370 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: franked dividend is an arrangement that was introduced into Australia 371 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: to eliminate double tax. It means that you're not g 372 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: going to have to pay double tax. It means it's 373 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: kind of like you get given you a dividend and 374 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: it has a little flag on it that says, hey, ge, 375 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: I've already paid tax, Please don't tax me again. And 376 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: you get to put that on your tax return so 377 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: that you don't end up having to pay the tax 378 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: that was paid on that share. And that tax is 379 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: paid at thirty percent usually because that is business tax. 380 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: So you get a little bit of a refund, which 381 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: is a bit of a money in And as I 382 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: said before, I love it in Super. And do you 383 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: know why I love it in Super? Because Gee, stop 384 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: looking at me like you have no idea what I'm 385 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: talking about. I talk about Super all the time. What's 386 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: the tax rate in Super? 387 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 4: I don't know the exifteen. I'm going to say that 388 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 4: it's just comparis myself. But I should have back no no, 389 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 4: no self gift. 390 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: You have been listening to my rants for so long, 391 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: arguably longer than anybody else on the podcast. So the 392 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: tax rate inside superannuation is fifteen percent. But if a 393 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: company has paid tax on a particular share at thirty percent, 394 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: that's a different rate. You should have only been paid fifteen. 395 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: So what do you get. You get a fifteen percent 396 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: tax rebate, which means that share is already profiting more 397 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: and above and beyond what it would have been profiting 398 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: if it went into your back pocket at your marginal tax. 399 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 2: Right. 400 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: So that's why I think that the power of franked 401 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: dividends is actually in superinuation because it kind of compounds 402 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: over time, and it's kind of like even if that 403 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: company only returned to like one or two percent, it 404 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: instantly goes even higher because you actually get franking credits 405 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: back and you end up making money that way as well. 406 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: So I think it's important to know those things. But 407 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: essentially it is a bit of a money win. It 408 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: is a really good system to make sure that you 409 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: don't pay tax on a share that's already had its 410 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: tax paid for it. 411 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 4: So what then, is an unfranked dividend fee? And how 412 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 4: do we handle that at tax time? 413 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: My friend, an unfranked dividend is a dividend that doesn't 414 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: have a tax credit attached to it, so it doesn't 415 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: come with its little flag, and unfranked dividends mean that 416 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: you are possibly going to have to pay some tax 417 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: on it and make sure you declare it on your 418 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: tax return. So it's not actually a bad thing. It's 419 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: just about doing the right thing and knowing whether you're 420 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: getting franked or unfranked dividends and how that actually plays 421 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: into your portfolio and how you do your tax And 422 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: it sounds very confusing, but when you have a good 423 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: investing platform, that'll all be on yours so it's really clear. Yeah, 424 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: it is really clear. It sounds not clear, and it 425 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: sounds like you're going to have to do some backflips 426 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: and work out what's franked and what's unfranked and how 427 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: that works. But essentially, when you're putting your portfolio together 428 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: and you're actually constructing it for the first time, that's 429 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: when i'd be like, oh, let's have a look, gee, 430 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: have you got a good amount of unfranked and frank dividends? 431 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: Like are we actually really comfy with this? Yes or no? 432 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: And then it'll all be on your reports. Like, honestly, 433 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty two. Everything is super easy. All we 434 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: have to do is make sure we know in the 435 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: background what our obligations are. And you don't have to 436 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: stress about your superannuation either, because it will all be 437 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: done inside super. Anyway, last question here v before we 438 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: head to a little break cute, I need a coffee. 439 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: What happens if I sell my shares? 440 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 4: Do I pay tax? 441 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: Then? 442 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: Yes? 443 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because if you own an asset, I mean 444 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: you'll only have to pay tax on something you made 445 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: money on. Let's remember that, like, there's not going to 446 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: be some kind of tax consequence if you are losing money. Well, 447 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: actually there will be. It'll mean that you probably get 448 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: a bit of a refund. 449 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 4: Nice. 450 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: But it's called capital gains tax, and that's the tax 451 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: you pay on profits from selling an asset. So it 452 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: could be property or shares, hot tip or not hot tip, 453 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: but interesting points complete tangent here. I was talking to 454 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: somebody the other day and we were talking about CGT 455 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: and what it means. So essentially, capital gains tax is 456 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: a tax you pay when you make money on an asset. 457 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: So you can't just go all right, well I just 458 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: bought this house. It increased in value by five hundred 459 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I'm going to sell it, and that five 460 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars is clean mine. No, it is not, 461 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 1: because you earned money from that, so therefore you need 462 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: to pay tax because it was like your income. Right. 463 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: I got a new client the other day. Shout out 464 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: to my new client. Not going to call you by 465 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 1: name because that would be wildly inappropriate. But they collect 466 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: vintage and like, you know, quite expensive cars. 467 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: Do you know what? 468 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: You don't pay capital gains tax on cars? 469 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 4: Are you joking? 470 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? So he is buying and selling cars and they 471 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: just don't have capital gains tax associated with them. It's 472 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: not me saying go and invest in cars, because you 473 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: do actually have to get to a level where you're 474 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: buying very expensive cars that then increase significantly in value. 475 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: And you know, he is like a professional at what 476 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: he does, because he actually is like in automtori engineering, 477 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: and like he buys these cars and flips them and 478 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: updates them and then sells them. But like CGT exempt 479 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: what because I actually don't know about that. No, so 480 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm only talking about it because it's you know, just 481 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: interesting hot tip and something to take away. But cars 482 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: are exempt. And I was like, what I did know that, 483 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: but I'd never run into someone who, you know, was 484 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: at a wealth status where they were buying and selling 485 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: like half a million dollar cars and walking away clean 486 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: of the profits. 487 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 4: That's weird. 488 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of weird, but it's also kind of interesting 489 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: how all of that works and how wealth seems to 490 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: start benefiting the wealthy to that level. 491 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm mad about that. Look, females are flipping cars. 492 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 4: Not many, I bit, not many many for me. 493 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a bit salted. Let's move on from that, 494 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: because I just thought it was a hot tip. But essentially, 495 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: if you have a capital gain, it will increase the 496 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: tax that you need to pay. You'll also need to 497 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: pay it if you have, like I've got a laundry list, 498 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: they'll go through. Because like, I'm still caught on how 499 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: triggered I am by the car thing. But if you 500 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: redeem units in a managed fund by switching them from 501 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: one fund to another, if you make an n species transfer, 502 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: so if you transfer your shareholding from one holding to 503 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: another holding, it's kind of like a selldown, like you 504 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: sold it and then you reborught it. So you need 505 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: to be really careful around that. So that's where I 506 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: always suggest, you know, talking to your share trading platform 507 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: or talking to your financial advisor when you're going to 508 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: make any serious changes to your portfolio, especially if you've 509 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: owned it for a few years, because you don't want 510 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: to end up going, oh my gosh, this makes so 511 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: much sense. I'm going to transfer all my shares over 512 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: to this brand new platform. This sounds really fun, this 513 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: sounds really sexy, and then you end up with a 514 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: tax obligation because of it, and you just didn't know 515 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: that's what was going to happen. There are a number 516 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: of them, but essentially, if you sell your shares or 517 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: you have some kind of CGT event occur, you need 518 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: to calculate your CGT and they're on your tax return. 519 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: And then remember you might be able to reduce your 520 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: CGT by literally fifty percent if you hold your shares 521 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: more than twelve months. It's just why we always talk 522 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: about long term investing strategies. Well, it's not actually why 523 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: we talk about it. I obviously believe very vehemently in 524 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: long term investing, but it's just not smart to buy 525 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: and sell shares within twelve months, which is really important 526 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: to remember as well. G Because I think so many 527 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: of us have been buying and selling and you know, 528 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: playing on like micro investing platforms. In a twelve month period, 529 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: you're like, you know, go and raise or go on 530 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: Spaceship or go on Clover or whatever you're downloading. Go 531 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, my money is not doing anything and 532 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: rip it straight out within three or four months because 533 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: a quote wasn't performing, Like, guys, don't do that. Yeah, 534 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: I just want to shake you. 535 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 4: Okay, interesting, let's pop a pin in it their VD. 536 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 4: But on the other side of the break, we're going 537 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 4: to be talking about how to actually read these documents, 538 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 4: which I think will hopefully we I help these And 539 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 4: we're also going to chat about what happens if you 540 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 4: muck up your tax return? Will you go to jail? 541 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 4: We find out on the other side of. 542 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: The probably don't know, you won't know, you won't. 543 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 4: Alright, ev we are back, as we mentioned before, As 544 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 4: a shareholder, I am entitled sure for information from the company. 545 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: I feel like the little shareholders are entitled like well, right, 546 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, just like telling people that their shareholders. Let's 547 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: talk about how to pick apart these documents because it 548 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: can get dense, especially for newbies like my good self. 549 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: Let's start with a profit and loss statement. Look, not 550 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: all of you are into spreadsheets in the way that 551 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: I am into spreadsheets. Surprise, because you know what most 552 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: people do. They just look at their profit and lost 553 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: statement that gets emailed to them as a PDF and 554 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: they don't open the PDF. 555 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: Me. 556 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, can that be converted to excel? I 557 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: wonder if I could have a look at XYS Like 558 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm a psycho, but I don't expect other people to 559 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: be as psychotic as I am when looking at profit 560 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: and loss statements. But essentially, the profit and loss statement 561 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: is a financial statement that summarizes the revenue and how 562 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: much money they've made in the cop and expenses incurred 563 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: during a specific period of time. That could be a 564 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: couple of months if it was generated for that, it 565 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: could be an entire financial year. It could be the 566 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: entire history of the company. The profit and loss statement, 567 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: which is sometimes just called the P and L, is 568 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: one of three financial statements that every single public company 569 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: issues quarterly and annually, along with the balance sheet and 570 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: the cash flow statement. So these are three separate documents 571 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: that all work together, but all tell you different things. 572 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: And if you put them side by side, and you 573 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: are not a finance person, you'll be like, what on 574 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: earth and why am I looking at these? But it's 575 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: a super helpful financial statement in a business plan that 576 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: basically shows how much profit and loss was generated by 577 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: a business. And that's basically the P and L. 578 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: Look that sounds pretty simple. 579 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: P and L is profit and lost. Look it is, 580 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: and it's always broken down into two sections, just assets 581 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: and liabilities and what's outstanding. So basically it is just 582 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: literally the profit of the business and how much it's 583 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: potentially lost. Beautiful. Okay, let's move on now to balance sheets. 584 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: Soft What are they? 585 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: What is a balance sheet? Yes, think of it like 586 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: a balancing act. It's kind of like two sides of 587 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: a company where it has its assets, so the things 588 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: that it owns, and then its liabilities, so the things 589 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: that it owes and the things that it might have outstanding. 590 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: So it might have a number of different things. And 591 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 1: you might think liabilities is that just debt? Yes? But 592 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: did you know and a liability on a balance sheet 593 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: in a company's suite of financial reports actually includes all 594 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: of their outstanding annual leave for all of their employees. Really, yeah, 595 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: because they've got to pay it back if you leave me. Yeah, 596 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: so if you leave me, ge, I've got to pay 597 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: out all of your anual leave and that sits as 598 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: a liability on my balance sheet because at some point 599 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to have to pay that, so we keep 600 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: track of it. So it's actually quite nitty gritty. It 601 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: essentially provides a snapshot of what a company owns and owes, 602 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: as well as the amount that is currently infested by shareholders. 603 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: So you can essentially get a snapshot of this company's 604 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: well being by using a number of ratios that can 605 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: be derived from the balance sheet, including a formula called 606 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: the debt to equity ratio and the acid tests ratio, 607 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: among a number of other things, and I won't go 608 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: into them, but essentially debt to equity ratio sounds confusing 609 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: when you say it really quickly, but it's basically how 610 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: much debt to how much stuff do you own? And 611 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: what does that ratio look like like? Is it positive? 612 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: Is it negative? What does that look like? How does 613 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: that impact me? I get really into this just because 614 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,239 Speaker 1: I'm really excited, But move on to the next one 615 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: so we don't get too confused. Perfect, let's chat about 616 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: cash flow statements? 617 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 4: What are they? 618 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: What do you reckon? A cashlow statement? Is j a 619 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: statement of a company is cash flow? Right? Well, you 620 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: don't even need me, But what does it look like? 621 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 4: What does it tell us? 622 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 3: All Right? 623 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: So, the cashlow statement, or the CFS if you want 624 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: to be a fancy lady, summarizes the movement of cash 625 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: and cash equivalents that come in and out of a company. 626 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: So the CFS measures how well a company manages its 627 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: cash position, meaning how well a company generates cash to 628 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 1: pay its debt obligations and fund its operating expenses. So 629 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: if we break that down a little bit more, let's 630 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: look at she's on the money, Like, am I making 631 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: enough money each month to pay all of my rent 632 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: and to pay for this very fancy studio and to 633 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: pay YUG and to pay JEF and to pay everybody? 634 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: Or am I cutting it real fine? Does that make sense? 635 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: So like, do we have enough money in the bank 636 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: to make sure that things are consistently moving and we 637 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: can invest in the business and we can grow, Like 638 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: this is what's going to show you its ability to 639 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, fund new purchases or make new investments. So essentially, 640 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: the main components of the cfs are cash from three 641 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: different areas, so operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. 642 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 4: Does the CFO of a company put this together? 643 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: Yes? Actually, or an accountant, so for me, we want 644 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: to know about the finances if she's on the money. 645 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: We have a bookkeeper, Hi, Helen, love you. She does 646 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: everything for us every single month to make sure that 647 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm on top of what's going on. And then we 648 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: have Louis who is our accountant, and he makes sure 649 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: that every single year all of my reporting comes in 650 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: so that I can look at the business as a whole. 651 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: So we do that on a monthly basis with a bookkeeper, 652 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: and then we do it with an accountant, and then 653 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: I would basically be the CFO because we're not big 654 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: enough to be able to afford that yet. 655 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 4: George kids, Okay, very good. We were talking about different 656 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 4: levels of investing a little while back. What sort of 657 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 4: reporting do the different methods and platforms actually provide me? 658 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: At tax? Oh my gosh, guys, I've said it before. 659 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty two. We can expect a lot, and 660 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to picking a platform, I do think 661 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: reporting really should come into it because that's actually quite 662 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: a heavy task if you're not into it. So we've 663 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: talked about our friends from Sharess. They basically provide you 664 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: everything like they will just send you a statement. I 665 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: know Rays do the same thing. I know Spaceship, which 666 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: are both micro investing platforms that are very popular in 667 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: our community. They will send you your tax statement to 668 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: make sure that you've got everything you need to submit 669 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: to the ATO to make sure that you're doing your 670 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: tax properly. Six Park, which is the robo advice platform 671 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: we talk about a lot, and I have a very 672 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: big affiliation with Obviously, I need to disclaim it that 673 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: every time I talk about it, it's because I'm biased 674 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: because I love them, But that's okay. But they will 675 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: send you absolutely everything as well. And then if you're 676 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: an individual share investor across a number of different platforms, 677 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: it's very likely you're going to have to do that yourself. 678 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: So if you own a number different shares on a 679 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: lot of different smaller platforms, you're probably going to have 680 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: to pull it together. But most platforms these days have 681 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: some form of very clear tax reporting that you would 682 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: then take and input into your tax return. The other 683 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: thing that is I believe got sexy George is data feeds. 684 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: So these days, if you have provided your TFN to 685 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: your investing platform, example here, you've given your TFN to Shares's, 686 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: Shares is then able to share that information with the ATO. 687 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: So it's very likely that you will be able to 688 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: log into your tax return portal. Then information's already there. 689 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: All you have to do is cross check it with 690 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: the financial reports that came into your email or came 691 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: into your mailbox, and you can go, all right, well 692 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: that's good, I'm going to submit that. So it makes 693 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: your life even easier. We love that v I've loved 694 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: today's chat. Have you no doubt? Oh you're a liar. Well, 695 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: it's been I'm just calling you for what it is. 696 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: A distance. It's made me feel a little bit dry. 697 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: But I guess what I wanted to ask you is 698 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: if there's a way that we can kind of simplify 699 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: all of this when it comes to tax time and 700 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: reporting my shares because I don't know, today's been a lot. Look, 701 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: if you have a shared trading platform, you are going 702 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: to be sent reports. I think it's important to understand 703 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: that it is as easy or as hard as you 704 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: want to make it. Understanding the report and where it 705 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: goes is probably the most important thing. Nowadays doing your 706 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: own tax is quite step by step, so it's quite 707 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: easy for you to do. I'm not saying go and 708 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: do it. Obviously, there are accountants that can do it 709 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: for you, so if you are overwhelmed by this, I 710 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: would be just going to your accountant and saying, what 711 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: do you need from me, and they will literally collect 712 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: all the information. But it's quite clear nowadays. I feel 713 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: like reporting has progressed significantly, even in the last five years, 714 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: from what I used to get and what I used 715 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: to have to calculate and workout. Now it's basically spoon fed, 716 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of companies have blogs and resources that 717 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: you can go to. So let's say Chazy sends out 718 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: their reports and you haven't understood it. It's very likely that 719 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: there's an associated blog or website or something that goes 720 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: alongside that, so you can go I don't get it 721 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: like and have a bit of a look. So it's 722 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: quite easy in comparison to how hard it used to be. 723 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 4: Finally, V my last question for you today, what are 724 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 4: the implications if we do stuff this up? 725 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: Oh, you're going to jail. No, I feel like I 726 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: will go to jail. You're not going to go to jail. 727 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: You're not going to go to jail. There's obviously a 728 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,479 Speaker 1: fair bit riding on it when it comes to tax 729 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: and if you do stuff it up, there could be 730 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: fines involved, like you could have a penalty to pay. 731 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: In saying that, I think it's always about being open 732 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: and honest and transparent and getting advice where you need it. 733 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: If you do have a more complex tax situation, I 734 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: would be reaching out to an accountant and finding someone 735 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: that you trust that can give you some advice, and 736 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: remembering that usually advice pays for itself in dividends. Nice. 737 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 4: Well, that's probably the perfect place to finish today's episode. B. 738 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 4: Although it does say play it VI's. 739 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: TikTok video about the ATO on our little shared dock here? 740 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: Does that mean? Oh, I did a ATO video a 741 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, A couple years maybe twelve years ago, 742 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: maybe last year? Sure, not even a couple of years ago. 743 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: And it was just like me being a past Do 744 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: you want me to play it for you? 745 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 4: Here? 746 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: Go on, Hey, guys, I'm here to pay my taxes. 747 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: How much do I owe. Oh, I don't know. You'll 748 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: have to figure it out yourself, Like you don't know, 749 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: or you don't want to tell me. Oh, we don't know.
