Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tax Mistakes That Kill Small Businesses - Compliance and Governance
Q: What practical steps can a small business take to avoid penalties and improve compliance?
Start with robust record-keeping and insist on proper invoices; keep financial statements ready for audits; ensure timely reconciliations and annual returns; understand and meet all labor-related declarations (COIDA, payroll submissions); consider formal loan agreements for director loans and explore legitimate planning options such as trusts to protect assets.
Tax Mistakes That Kill Small Businesses - Compliance and Governance
Q: What are the main types of taxes small businesses need to understand and when do they kick in?
Income tax on profits, VAT on goods and services (with input and output VAT calculations), and provisional tax as an interim payment system. VAT periods and provisional tax schedules depend on turnover and specific thresholds, and all declarations must be submitted even if income is zero.
Tax Mistakes That Kill Small Businesses - Compliance and Governance
Q: Just from your experience, what are the things you've seen business owners do that are not correct?
Owners often struggle with proper record-keeping, relying on bank statements instead of invoices and receipts, under-declaring income, and failing to declare zero income where appropriate, which leads to penalties and audits. Proper documentation and timely declarations are critical to staying compliant.
Procurement Tips & Realities businesses face when trying to access larger markets
Q: How can ESD programs be designed to avoid dependency and promote sustainable growth into larger markets?
Programs must be tangible, with clear milestones, mentorship, independence goals, and pathways to graduate beneficiaries into broader client bases outside the program.
Procurement Tips & Realities businesses face when trying to access larger markets
Q: What is the role of debriefs in tendering, and how should companies use them?
Debriefs provide actionable feedback on B-BE and technical scores; use them to address gaps and improve future submissions rather than moving on after a loss.
