Australian businesses with an annual turnover of $75,000 or more are required to register for GST. If your business has a lower turnover you are not required to register, but you may do so if you wish. The exception is ride-sharing and taxi drivers, who need to register for GST irrespective of their turnover. You will only be required to charge your customers GST if you are registered. Your local H&R Block office can assist you with your application to register for GST.

A skilled broker collaborates with you to:

  • Understand your specific needs and financial goals.
  • Determine a borrowing amount that fits your budget.
  • Explore various loan options tailored to your circumstances.
  • Provide clear explanations of loan terms, including interest rates, features, and fees.
  • Assist with the loan application process and oversee it until settlement.

Testimonials

Hear what our clients have to say about our services.

“We engaged CLN Financial Services to re-mortgage our current home loan. We wanted to investigate whether we could negotiate a better loan rate through alternative lenders. Craig was a pleasure to deal with, he listened to our requirements and gave us a series of options all with pros and cons. We ended up saving a small fortune off our loan each month, which given our current financial climate has been a welcome relief. Craig was personable, professional and communicated with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend CLN Financial Services to anyone looking to refinance."
