How can I best use my company's $165k profit to minimise tax?

I run my company as the only employee. Our turnover is around 300k. I pay myself about 135k to stay in the tax bracket. I have a personal mortgage a bit over 400k. I'm chasing good options on how to best use the company profit. Any ideas? A few I've thought of…

  • Pay it out and pay 37 cents in the dollar tax.
  • Div 7A loan it to myself to offset my mortgage and pay the company back.
  • Invest it in shares for the company.
  • Invest it in something else for the company.
  • Buy equipment for the company to lower profit.

Open to other smart ideas…?

Cheers!
 
A 79 Cruiser with the full ARB catalog fitted is a solid choice.

It’s a reliable workhorse.
You can get out on weekends and enjoy what you’ve built.

Or go the boring route and invest the money.
 
Ugh, I know it's a hassle, but seriously talk to your accountant about setting up a special purpose company for investing, then have your trading company loan money into it. Also, you could look into buying commercial property through your SMSF and then renting that property back to your business. Totally a thing worth exploring, even if it makes your head spin.
