Home/Accountant in Castle Hill

Accountant in Castle Hill

Castle Hill has the broadest mix of any suburb we serve — established family businesses, retail operators, tradies and long-term property owners, often in the same household.

Castle Hill is bigger and older than the newer Metro suburbs, and the work reflects that. We see a lot of established family businesses — second generation in some cases — alongside retail and hospitality operators around Castle Towers, and trade businesses working out of the Showground Road light industrial precinct.

It also has genuinely mixed housing: long-held family homes bought decades ago sitting alongside recent apartment development near the Metro. That split matters at tax time, because the capital gains position on a property held since the 1990s is a completely different conversation from one bought last year.

Who we work with in Castle Hill

The clients we see here

Established family businesses

Often trading through a trust or company set up years ago. The structure that suited a smaller business frequently no longer fits, and nobody has revisited it.

Retail and hospitality operators

Businesses around Castle Towers and the town centre, with staff, quarterly BAS, payroll and superannuation guarantee obligations.

Trade businesses

Builders, electricians and contractors working from the Showground Road precinct and across the Hills, with vehicles, tools and subcontractor arrangements.

Long-term property owners

Families holding property bought well before the current rules, where cost base records matter enormously and are often incomplete.

What matters locally

Long-held property is where the money is, and the records usually are not. If a property has been held since the 1990s, the cost base includes the purchase price, stamp duty, legal fees and every capital improvement since. Those receipts decide the eventual capital gains bill, and reconstructing them decades later is far harder than keeping them. If you are holding property long term, this is worth sorting now.

Grandfathering protects existing investors. Anything held before 7:30pm on 12 May 2026 keeps its negative gearing treatment permanently. For Castle Hill families who have held property for years, the Budget changes largely do not apply — a point worth knowing before acting on headlines.

Family businesses and trust distributions. A trust must resolve its distributions before 30 June, not when the return is prepared. Missing that can see the trustee assessed at the top marginal rate on the whole amount. We diarise it for every trust client.

FAQ

Common questions

Only if you want to. We are in Norwest, a short drive from Castle Hill, and most clients deal with us entirely by phone, email and secure document exchange. In-person appointments are available by arrangement.

Not for negative gearing. Properties held before 7:30pm on 12 May 2026 are grandfathered permanently. The capital gains changes from 1 July 2027 only apply to gains accruing after that date, so everything built up before then is calculated the old way. What matters most for a long-held property is having complete cost base records.

Yes, and it is straightforward. We request your file and prior returns through the standard ethical clearance process, so you do not need to have an awkward conversation. Most transitions complete within a fortnight.
