Thinking of making the transition from an employed medical practitioner to running your own private practice? In this insightful episode, Stuart and Mena break down everything you need to know about structuring your business, protecting your assets, and optimising your tax position as a self-employed medical specialist.

The duo dives into the ongoing debate around sole trader vs. corporate or trust structures, shedding light on the real impact on asset protection and tax minimisation. They discuss how professional indemnity insurance plays a crucial role in shielding your assets and explore strategic financial moves—like using a partner’s name for property ownership or leveraging company and trust structures for investments.

On the tax front, they tackle personal services income (PSI) rules and how medical professionals can legally maximise deductions—whether through employing a spouse for admin work, utilising property equity for tax-efficient expenses, or making strategic superannuation contributions.

Wealth planning is also on the agenda, from the benefits of owning your practice premises via an SMSF to leveraging banks’ favourable lending terms for medical professionals. Whether you're considering private practice or looking to refine your financial strategy, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you secure your financial future.
