How a simple change of words can get instant results
Saying something powerful and compelling in just a few words is an art form perfected by great copywriters.
Investing time and maybe professional help is money well spent when you want to gain positive attention from your audience.
To prove my point, take two minutes and watch this video. It is absolutely inspiring – all because a few words were changed.

Then stop and think what you can say about your business, your products and your services that will have the same impact just by changing a few words.

Christmas Gifts - and Tax
Is your Christmas thank you to employees and clients tax deductible?
- You can give any single employee a gift worth up to $300 (excluding GST) and claim 100% tax deductibility.
- Anything over $300 will mean Fringe Benefit Tax will kick in. Try to avoid this for obvious reasons.
- Can you claim the GST on a non-food or drink Gift Voucher. No, sorry you can’t.
- And you can only claim 50% deductibility on vouchers for food and drink
- If you’re entertaining your employees and doing an office “shout” then again you can only claim 50% if food and drink are being supplied
- For gifts to clients and customer or others associated with your business, the same rules apply but you are not limited to the $300 ceiling.
