Taxation for sports persons and special professionals
The Australian Tax Office has recognised that significant fluctuations can occur during the career of a professional sportsperson or a special professional such as an Author, Artist, Musician, Inventor, Performing Artist or a Production Associate.
To lessen the impact of these fluctuations, the ATO has allowed special tax provisions to apply which, in effect, will smooth the rate of tax applied.
Our experience is that almost all of our new ‘special professional’ clients have not had their prior year tax returns prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act and therefore have not taken advantage of the ‘Averaging for special professionals’ and therefore, in most cases, have missed out on thousands of dollars of tax refunds.
Sportax, a division of Icon Financial Management, offer a free tax review service – The Icon Promise:
“Let us review your prior year income tax returns and if we find that the prior year returns have been prepared accurately, then we will give all of the information back to you and the costs will be borne by us.”
However…If we find that the prior year returns were not originally prepared accurately, then you may be entitled to an additional tax refund of previously overpaid tax (and interest on that sum!). In that case we will amend the prior year tax returns lodged and charge a normal professional fee.
What our clients say
As a new business in a highly competitive industry, we understood the importance in seeking the services of a reputable & professional firm to assist in our company set-up & provide advice in certain areas required.
We initially engaged the services of Icon Financial Management prior to our inception (in 2011) as Azure Luxury Homes, to assist in business structure / set-up, planning, tax advice, superannuation, etc… & we continue with their services today.
We have always found David & his team to be very professional & knowledgeable in all aspects, always responding to any queries in a prompt & timely manner. This has allowed us to focus on the things we need, knowing that we have the right people looking after this part of our business.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Icon Financial Management for anyone seeking the services of a knowledgeable, professional firm.
We have been dealing with Icon for about a year now and are impressed at the fantastic service and knowledge that has been provided.
David and his staff don’t just prepare a tax return or do your BAS but work with you to achieve better financial management and ultimately financial freedom by providing advice and education.
When we first looked at dealing with them they took the time out of the business to fly to Broome and meet us personally as well as view our business and get to know exactly what we do and how we operate and I strongly believe this has aided us both in the service and advice they provide.
David also has contacts to other businesses such as lawyers etc that can help in need to rearrange business structure to better aid what we are trying to achieve.
I couldn’t speak more highly of Icon Financial Management and would highly recommend them to anyone. Our motto this year is to work smarter not harder and I believe they are an integral part of our plan.
I have been a client of Icon Financial Management since 2002, they have handled all of my private and business affairs since then and their service is first class.
Their honesty and professionalism could not be questioned, always very competitive with their pricing and no hidden costs.
I would without doubt recommend Icon Financial Management to anyone who is looking for advice or service on all Business and personal needs. These guys are straight up and will not let you down and will save you money.
Former West Coast Eagles Legend
and Norm Smith Medalist
I don’t tend to be great with numbers; that’s why i draw pictures. David managed to elucidate some of the most complicated taxation law in a way that even I could understand.
Not only did he assist in the transition from moving my business from Melbourne to New York but he managed to actually get me a massive refund on analysing previous returns.
I’d highly recommend his services to everyone.

Since 2005 I have been using the services of Icon Financial Management. They have handled both my personal tax and my SMSF which they established. Their in depth knowledge of the tax system, especially in relation to the SMSFs, has been of considerable benefit. They recommended strategies for my SMSF to minimize my taxable income that enabled me to retire early.
During my recent divorce they provided me with guidance in the process ensuring that all monies were accounted for and transfer of funds between the various super funds were completed without a hitch.
I have found them to be highly professional and they strive to ensure the best outcome.
