In this episode, join me, Dr Bi Mian and Munzurul Khan, Chairman at KHI Partners, as we share important tax fundamentals that every doctor needs to know to optimise their tax position and maximise their earnings.

We talk about why Australia's self-assessment tax system creates unique opportunities and responsibilities, how the widely misunderstood marginal tax rate system actually works in your favour, and the strategic advantage of superannuation's concessional 15% tax rate.

We also discuss the clever ways to leverage capital gains tax discounts for wealth building, how franking credits can boost investment returns, and why international doctors with overseas assets must be extra careful with their tax planning.

If you want to make smart financial decisions that could save you thousands in taxes as a medical professional in Australia, then make sure to listen to this episode!
