5 Tax tips for serious art collectors bought to you by Michael Fox Arts Accountant & Valuer

1. Collect Museum Quality Art
According to the experts, if you buy museum quality art today, and invest in a top pedigree of artists, then just a little dibble-dabble in the market today, can be transformed into pennies and pounds later.

2.Use Tony’s Tradies scheme
Michael Fox who helps people with their tax every day says one of the big loopholes people can exploit, is the “Tony’s Tradies” – a Small Business raft of tax measures, which allows small businesses to claim their expenses up to $20,000. “If you have an ABN, then under the small business act you can claim the entire sum of that purchase up to the tune of $20,000 each; A small business meaning turnover of less than $2 million dollars annually.

3. Know your Budget
New collectors should never be scared to talk about the budget they have in mind for buying art from Galleries as they are used to dealing with Interior designers and architects who will always come with a budget in mind

4. Develop a corporate culture
Today corporate collections are generally no longer seen simply as a way of decorating a company’s foyer, boardroom or offices. Instead, they are seen as a marketing tool that assists in defining a corporation’s brand or reputation.

5. Use the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program to solve a tax problem on the horizon
If you can simply foresee some heavy tax bills in the next five years, then brush up on the conditions under which public institutions accept big bequests. Once the valuation comes in and your donation is accepted, then you have five years to right-off the value of the artwork.
