It’s been 11 years since the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in Australia and, while the initial public panic has evaporated, debate continues over the fairness of the Howard Government’s ambitious tax reform. So let’s take a look at the basics of the GST. The GST is a tax on both goods and services at the rate of 10%. It was introduced in July 2000 to replace a range of inefficient state taxes and broaden the existing wholesale sales tax system, which gave unfair tax advantage to suppliers of services. Everyone...

Tips to a healthy marriage
Date: 03 May 2011 | 0 Comment | Life | Posted by: osborneyuille |
I don’t expect the newlyweds, William and Kate, will have too many financial concerns or a great need for budgeting. One of the main concerns for newlyweds though is money or a lack of it. It is important to start planning early, budget carefully and keep out of debt. Don’t start a marriage with a lot of debt. Heavy debt and money worries are a good way to break up a healthy relationship or marriage. Early on in the relationship, even before taking the vows if possible, concentrate on paying off any personal debts so that you can go into...

Another year ends and we wonder what 2011 has in store for us. For those in flood, cyclone and fire affected parts of the country – and more recently earthquake devastated New Zealand & Japan, and the politically volatile Middle East - it has been an extremely tough start to the New Year. We are all hoping that 2011 will be a successful year, with the world’s share markets picking up, helping us to recover from the last two years. Most analysts are saying that markets are improving and we have certainly seen evidence of this...

A crisis allows us the opportunity to dig deep into the reservoirs of our very being to rise to levels of confidence, strength, and resolve that otherwise we didn't think we posessed. - Jon Huntsman

The last two years have been turbulent to say the least. Nobody has escaped the Global Crisis and downturn on the world markets. Even the Warren Buffets and Bill Gates of this world lost millions. Going into 2011, the global markets are quite mixed. The emerging Asian markets (except perhaps Japan) are growing rapidly and these equity markets are showing good returns. When you look at the growth in China and India, it is hard to see them slowing to any degree. In China we see peasants moving to the cities at the rate of 20million people...

In general, a couple looking for comfortable retirement today will need about $55,000 a year tax free. Those seeking a more modest retirement lifestyle will need about $35,000. If you have debts and a mortgage, this will probably come off your lump sum and impact on your yearly pension. If you have a look at your account balance in your superannuation, and multiply it by about 6%, this will give you a guide as to what income you can draw from your super, without eating into the capital. For example, if you wanted $50,000 per annum to retire...

The next decade could be a decade of opportunity in Asia. Chinese and Indian economies are growing at a rapid rate. In China we see 20 million people coming out of the rural areas and into the city, seeing the opportunities that await them. China has to meet the infrastructure to cope with this growth in the cities. The Chinese have a love affair with cars and China is producing and selling motor vehicles in the millions. India's population is increasing by the size of Australia's population each year (21 million people per annum). India...

Because of the Global Financial Crisis and the US and Europe debt situation, we have seen a lacklustre year on the Australian Equities market. The ASX200 finished at the end of the year closed to the start of the year in 2010. Starting a new year is a good time to have a fresh look at your portfolio and rebalance it in line with market conditions. While the Blue Chip Investments showed an unimpressive performance, some of the smaller company funds came through with double digit returns. So where should we be investing in 2011? Asian...
