Today, Nidah Youssef from our office attended the Celebrating Women in Business Breakfast, which was organised by the City of Parramatta. The event celebrated and supported women in business, in particular businesswomen in Western Sydney.

A Keynote speech was presented by Amanda Rose GAICD and the Lord Mayor of Parramatta, Councillor Donna Davis. There was also a panel discussion which included various amazing women, discussing their experience in operating their respective businesses including but not limited to overcoming challenges and sharing celebratory milestones.

It was a great initiative and we thank the City of Parramatta for organising this event.

HAVE YOU PLANNED AHEAD?

A Will helps to ensure your assets will be distributed according to your wishes when you pass away. Even if you think you don't have much, it is still important to make a Will.

If you already have a Will think about whether it is time to update it so it reflects your current circumstances.

Situations where you may want to update your Will include:

*Buying a house
*Birth of a child
*Marriage
*Retirement
*Separation or Divorce
*Change of beneficiary/executor

NY Lawyers makes planning ahead easy and flexible.

Did you know that Landlords will lose thousands in tax savings in new legislative change.

On 15 November 2017, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Housing Tax Integrity) Bill 2017 was passed.

This means that owners of second-hand residential properties (where contracts are exchanged after 7.30pm on May 9, 2017) will be ineligible to claim depreciation on certain assets.

The amendment to depreciation rules as detailed in the bill mean that investors can no longer claim depreciation for plant and equipment assets, such as air conditioning units, blinds, curtains, ovens, cooktops, dishwashers, hot-water systems, security systems, solar panels or carpet in second-hand residential properties.

The good news is if you bought your property before 7.30pm on May 9, 2017 you can continue to claim depreciation. Previously existing legislation will be grandfathered, which means investors who already made a purchase before this date can continue to claim depreciation deductions as before.

It's also good news for investors who bought a brand new residential property or a new or second-hand commercial property. In both instances, you can continue to claim depreciation and will be unaffected by the changes.
