#180 w. Ben Walker - How to minimise your ATO donation at tax time (legally)

In this episode, I chat to Ben Walker who's an accountant at Inspire CA based in Brisbane, an accounting business that helps people be smarter with their taxes and ultimately minimize their donation to the ATO every year. Legally, we talk about some of the mistakes that people make when it comes to their taxes, the tax strategies that people should be thinking about to cut their tax bill, as well as what business owners and self-employed people should be thinking about when they're planning with their tax and the things to look out for as well as the biggest lesson that Ben learned on his money and tax journey.

He is the founder and CEO of Inspire, and co-author of Cashed Up: The 7 Steps Method of Pulling More Money, Time and Happiness from Your Business.
