By Melissa Browne<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a>Most Australians look at the federal budget through the lens of “what\u2019s in it for me”. As a nation that’s more than $600 billion in debt, it\u2019s a habit we need to break or we\u2019re only ever going to get the politicians (and budgets) we deserve.<\/p>\n But I digress.<\/p>\n My lens when approaching a budget is generally a tax and accounting one. It\u2019s to decipher the changes that will affect my clients (both individuals and businesses) and the different entities they use to manage their affairs. This includes everything from sole traders to partnerships, companies, trusts and self-managed super funds.<\/p>\n
