What Makes a Great Tax Planning Report?
24 July 2025
Tax planning isn’t just about strategy — it’s about how clearly and professionally you present the advice.
Here are 10 essential elements every TaxFitness report includes to deliver clarity, confidence, and action:
- Personalised Advice – Tailored to the client’s unique situation. No cookie-cutter templates.
- Quantify Tax Savings – Show estimated $ savings for each strategy and the total benefit.
- Logical Structure – Strategies presented in priority order by impact and timing.
- Clear Language – Plain English. No jargon. Make the complex simple.
- Commercial Purpose – Document business reasons, not just tax outcomes.
- Risk Assessment – Simple Low/Medium/High risk comments included.
- Practical Action Steps – Clear instructions: what to do, by when, and by whom.
- Professional Presentation – Clean layout, tables, headings, and optional visuals.
- Consistency & Compliance – Structured, compliant, and professionally worded throughout.
- Executive Summary – One-page overview so clients and advisers can make fast decisions.
When accountants deliver reports like this, clients understand the advice, act on it, and value it — making it easier to charge advisory fees and build long-term relationships.
Used by 500+ accountants, TaxFitness reports are branded, structured, and ready to bill.
