She produces practical outcomes and builds strong client relationships.   On today’s show, Mariana will share: * The generous R&D incentive for eligible companies who expend funds on experimental activities. The R&D Tax Incentive can potentially deliver a sizeable reduction in company tax and, in certain circumstances, generate a sizeable tax refund. This will allow your business to grow and have the cash flow to further your innovation. * The tax laws and their impact on family businesses are as dynamic as the commercial environment and the lives of the family members themselves. * The number of women starting businesses in Australia is growing – over a third of Australia’s business operators are women and their numbers are increasing. * HLB has developed mysoundingboard, a community for women entrepreneurs to share experiences, expand their knowledge and grow their networks.
