60 Effective PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Tricks (Giant List)

Here's a PowerPoint presentation tips and tricks guide that takes you through how to make a good PowerPoint presentation.

The best PowerPoint presentations shouldn’t be remembered. Instead, they should fall into the background to support you and the message you’re trying to get across.

Unlike good PowerPoint presentations , bad PowerPoint presentations are a distraction. You may remember them, but not in a good way.

You’ve seen them before. They might have millions of lines of text. Or a disjointed flow to the slides. Even worse, some slides feature ugly photos and poor design that detract from the message you’re trying to get across. That can even hurt your credibility as a professional or speaker.

This article will take you from finding your initial topic to learning how to make a great PowerPoint presentation. Our guide covers everything in between so that you learn how to present a PowerPoint like a pro.

These Microsoft PowerPoint presentation tips and guidelines are organized into sections. So cut straight to the advice you need and come back when you’re ready for the next steps.

Guide to Making Great Presentations (Free eBook Download)

Also, download our Free eBook: The Complete Guide to Making Great Presentations . It’s the deepest resource for learning effective presentation skills for a PPT.

This eBook covers the complete presentation process. It takes the PowerPoint tips and tricks you learn in this article further. Learn how to write your presentation, design it like a pro, and prepare it to present powerfully. It’s another great source for presentation design tips.

Master PowerPoint (Free Course): 15 Essential Tips

This article is full of helpful tips so you can build a powerful presentation. You can also find more PowerPoint tips in this video lesson:

To learn even more about how to make a PowerPoint look good, review the huge list of tips below.

What Makes a PowerPoint Presentation Effective?

Knowing how to use PowerPoint and work within it quickly is helpful. But more important is making a good presentation that hits all your goals. A great PowerPoint presentation is:

• Prepared to Win . Research, plan, and prepare your presentation professionally. It helps you deliver an effective message to your target audience.
• Designed Correctly . Your visual points should stand out without overwhelming your audience. A good PowerPoint visual shouldn’t complicate your message.
• Practiced to Perfection . Rehearse your timing and delivery so that your points land as practiced with a live audience.
• Delivered With Poise . Present with a relaxed inner calm and confident outward projection. Give your audience warmth, excitement, and energy.
• Free From Mistakes . Avoid typos, cheesy clip art, and mistakes like reading directly from your slides.

Consider this your all-inclusive guide to how to make a good presentation. We’ll look at preparing your presentation and explore how to design it in PowerPoint. Plus, we’ll cover how to practice and nail your delivery successfully come presentation time.

We’ll also address what not to do in these tips for PowerPoint presentations—so you can sidestep any big mistakes. Now let’s dig into these tips for effective PowerPoint presentations.

Killer Presentation Preparation Tips to Get Started Right

Before even opening PowerPoint, start by addressing these things. These Microsoft PowerPoint tips and tricks will ensure that you’re prepared for your presentation:

1. Know Your Stuff

Your presentation isn’t about your slides alone. It’s about the message you want to get across. Before filling in stats, facts and figures, think about the narrative that’ll be discussed, why, and in what order.

2. Write It Out

Start in a Word or Google doc, and storyboard or script the entire presentation. This will give you an idea of how the information presented will flow and how viewers will see it in sequence. Learn the complete writing process .

3. Highlight What’s Most Important

A presentation covers the most crucial pieces only. Whatever you’ve been working on that led to this—a paper, a work project, a new product design—doesn’t need to be shared in its entirety. Pick key points and put the rest in an “Appendix” to refer to during the Q&A session at the end.

4. Know Your Audience

How you talk to a room full of medical professionals should be different from the way you address a room full of young entrepreneurs. Everything, in fact, is different: your topic selection, the language you use, the examples you give to illustrate points. The little bits of humor you include should be tailored specifically with your target audience in mind.

Understand your audience’s needs to create a successful PowerPoint presentation. Customize your content to meet their specific requirements.

5. Rehearse! (Yes, Already)

It’s never too early to get used to the rhythm of your presentation and take note of points you want to emphasize. While saying it out loud, you’ll start to develop a “feel” for the material. You’ll notice that some things work well, while others don’t and might need to be worked around.

6. Rewrite After You Rehearse

As you’re rehearsing your presentation, you’re bound to stumble over sections that don’t quite flow naturally. Instead of reworking your delivery, it might be time to consider the content and rewrite the areas that served as stumbling blocks.

“Editing is hard. ‘It’s good enough,’ is a phrase wannabes use. Leaders take editing seriously.” – Anthony Trendl

The most important part of creating a great presentation is the writing stage. The second most important stage is rewriting.

7. Share With a Friend

If the stakes are high for your presentation, it’s never too early to get feedback from those that you trust. Here’s an article that helps you collaborate as a team on a PowerPoint presentation. Get PowerPoint design tips from those that you trust when you collaborate.

Simple Tips to Design Your PowerPoint Presentation Better

Second only to you (the information you bring and how you present it) is your PowerPoint slides. If not designed well, a PowerPoint can be disengaging or distracting (regardless of the content quality). Here are some presentation design tips to make sure this doesn’t happen to you:

8. Keep Your Slides Simple

This is one of the most important PowerPoint presentation tips to follow when designing your slides. Keep in mind that less is more (effective.) A cluttered slide is distracting. It causes confusion for an audience: Which part of the slide should I focus on? Should I read the slide or pay attention to the presenter?

A simple, visually appealing slide will engage your audience, keeping them on track with your main points. Here’s an example of a simple slide that serves its purpose perfectly:

Minimalist slide templates like Nook can help you resist the urge to clutter your slides.

9. Limit Words on Your Slides

Piggybacking on the last point, less is more effective. If possible, avoid bullets altogether. Otherwise cut them to just a few simple words. The audience should be listening, not reading.

10. Use High-Quality Photos and Graphics

One of the most important tips for quality PowerPoint presentations is to use high-quality photos and graphics.

Earlier in this tutorial, you saw Envato Elements, an all-you-can-download service with PPT tips inside of templates. Those pre-built designs are a beginner’s best friend. They’re even better when paired with Elements’ unlimited library of stock photos .

People are more likely to take you seriously if your presentation is visually appealing. Users view attractive design as more usable. Similarly, they’ll view a more attractive PowerPoint as more effective.

11. Use Accurate and Relevant Charts and Graphs

Charts and graphs can also be distracting if they’re not used right. Make sure your information design is simple and clean so that the audience doesn’t spend the entire time trying to decipher what your X axis says. Learn more about PPT data presentation .

12. Use High-Quality, Fresh Templates

Have you seen the old PowerPoint template that looks like worn paper and uses ink splashes? Yeah, so has your audience. Templates can be distracting if they’re too basic or if the design feels dated. You need one with great design options.

Costs are always a concern. But when you use Envato Elements, you’ve got everything you need to create a great PowerPoint presentation . That’s thanks to the incredible all-you-can-download subscription package.

The best PowerPoint tips and tricks can hardly compare to the value of using a template while building your presentation.

On Envato Elements, there are thousands of PowerPoint design templates that are ready to use. Instead of designing a presentation from scratch, start with a template! Just add your specifics to the placeholders.

Templates like Galaxi are impressively designed and waiting for your slide specifics.

The best PowerPoint design tips save you time. And there’s no tip more powerful than this one: use a pre-built template . It helps you master how to present a PowerPoint without spending all your time in the app.

13. Choose Appropriate Fonts

Fonts are an important part of engaging your audience. Fonts and typography choices have a subconscious effect on viewers. They can characterize your company’s presentation and brand either positively or negatively. Make sure that you’re choosing fonts that are professional and modern.

14. Choose Color Well

Like font choice, colors cause specific subconscious reactions from viewers. Choosing an outdated color combination for your presentation will render it ineffective.

Below is an example of the Popsicle PowerPoint template , which has a modern presentation color choice:

The Popsicle PowerPoint template highlights how harmonized color palettes can create beautiful slides.

15. Clean + Simple Formatting Makes All the Difference!

We’ve got a full tutorial on how to make a good presentation slide . Give it a read through and review the accompanying video. Just remember, less is more. The focus is you and your message , not your slides.

16. Make Sure All Objects Are Aligned

A simple way to create a well-designed presentation is to make sure all items on a slide are intentionally aligned. To do this, hold down Shift and select all the objects you want to include. Then choose Arrange in the options bar and apply Alignment Type .

17. Limit Punctuation

This isn’t the place for exclamation points. Emphasize your points (while speaking). Don’t enlist punctuation to do this for you. (Leave these at home!!!)

18. Avoid Over-Formatting Your Points

This PowerPoint presentation tip is simple. There’s no need to have every word of every bullet point capitalized, or to have all your bullet points in title case. If possible, drop bullets altogether. Again, the simpler, the better!

Limit your text formatting, including reducing the use of bullets, underline, and other effects. Compare the before example on the left to the revised version on the right.

19. Combine Information With Graphics in PowerPoint

One of the most powerful presentation skills for PPT is using infographics. With the right type of visuals, slides come to life and reduce the text in favor of graphics.

Infographics help combine information with graphics. It’s easier to explain complex ideas when you use visual formats that are intuitive.

Practice Presentation Tips: Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse!

Delivery is probably more important than the actual content. Here’s how to become more aware of your own unique ticks, and how to present like a polished pro:

20. I’ll Say It Again, Rehearse!

Just do it. Again and again. Experiment with pauses, gestures, and body language. Practice around one hour for every minute of your speech.

21. Practice With a Timer

Consistency is key to an effective PowerPoint presentation. The timing should be similar (ideally the same) each time you rehearse. This one will especially pay off when it’s time to present in front of your audience.

22. Slow It Down

Many of the best speakers today intentionally speak slowly. You’ll have the chance to emphasize, appear more thoughtful, and make your information easier to digest.

23. Pause More Often

Like the prior tip, pausing more often allows your main points to be emphasized and gives time for information to sink in. You need to let key points breathe a little before rushing into the next section.

24. Record Yourself

Use your phone’s voice recorder. Assess and critique yourself. Consider:

• Are your pauses too short or too long?
• Are you speaking slowly enough? Too slow?
• When you’re nervous, does your voice get high like the mice in Cinderella?

It’s always weird to hear your own voice recorded; don’t stress it. Use this as a time to adjust.

25. Choose Three Focal Points in the Room

If you stare at the same spot (or even creepier, the same person) the entire time, your presentation will be ineffective (and awkward.) People will be distracted by you, wondering what you’re staring at.

Try this: pick three points in the room (typically: left, center, right). Take time to direct your delivery toward each physical focal point in the room. Also, focus on the center when making your primary points.

26. Vary Your Sentence Length

This makes you sound more interesting, and it’s easier for your audience to follow. Think short and punchy. Or go long and complex for dramatic effect.

27. Modulate!

Don’t speak in monotone for your whole presentation. Be conscious of raising and lowering your voice tone. Otherwise, people will tune you out, and you’ll come across like the teacher in Charlie Brown.

28. Practice in Front of a Mirror

What you look like is as important as how you sound. Pretend you’re having a normal conversation, and allow your hands to move with your speech to emphasize your points. Just don’t get carried away! (I’m thinking Brene Brown or President Obama , not your Aunt Jamie after a few gin and tonics.)

29. Use “Present Mode” When Rehearsing

When you finally are ready to hit the Present button in PowerPoint, make sure you use the Present Mode option. This allows you (and only you) to view extra notes about each slide—just in case you forget something!

30. Practice With New Audiences

If possible, try doing a few real live test runs as a webinar or even at a local Toastmasters organization to get some feedback from a live audience.

31. Engage the Audience by Asking Questions

There’s no reason that a presentation should be one-sided. Why not invert the format and ask your audience a question?

To learn how to create a slide that kicks off a Q&A, use this article . These PowerPoint design tips help you create an engaging and exciting discussion.

Helpful Tips to Step Up and Deliver Come Presentation Time

When the actual day arrives, there are only a few last PowerPoint presentation tips and guidelines to keep in mind:

32. Take a Deep Breath

Deep breathing is proven to relieve stress. It’s simple, and it’ll help you remain calm and in the moment, even up to the last minute before starting.

33. Lighten Up Your Mood

Tell yourself a joke or watch a funny video clip. Do this before the presentation, of course. Research concludes that happy people are more productive. More productive is more focused and able to perform better.

34. Remind Yourself to Take It Slow

When we’re stressed or nervous (or both), we tend to speak faster. Consciously, take yet another deep breath and remind yourself to take it slow!

35. Read the Room

Every presentation room has a temperature. It’s your job as a speaker to gauge it and tailor your presentation to it.

Here’s a great example. Layoffs are coming at a company, and you’re asked to speak to an audience. Even if the audience isn’t personally affected by the actions, you’ve got to consider the morale of the workforce.

Skilled speakers have a knack for reading the energy of the room and adjusting their presentation on the fly.

The last thing that group will want to hear is how strong the economy is and why the company is the best place to work. That doesn’t mean that you’ve got to align to their uncertainty, but don’t go too far against the grain while presenting.

Robert Kennedy III is a master of bringing energy and aligning a speech to the audience. Here’s his advice for adjusting:

“It can be hard to wake up a “dead” crowd but go for it. Most of all, don’t take their energy personally. Focus on serving them with every bit of your fiber then leave empty.”

36. Fake It ‘Til You Make It!

Go forward with confidence. If you act confident, you’ll start to feel more confident. Move slowly with grace, speak clearly, smile, wear something nice. You’ll appear confident to all attendees (no matter how you feel internally).

PowerPoint Presentation Tips and Tricks to Help Avoid Mistakes (What Not to Do)

Most importantly, focus on what you can do to make your presentation better. There are a few important things not to do that we’ve got to address. Here are a handful of PowerPoint presentation tips and tricks to help you avoid missteps.

37. Stop With the Sound Effects

Sound effects are distracting and outdated. In most cases, avoid them. Add audio or music to your presentation to inject interest or highlight an important point, but it’s something to take extra care with. If you insert audio, then make sure your use really connects with your audience and has a fresh approach. Otherwise, it’s best to leave it out.

38. Don’t Use Flashy Slide Transitions

Again, this is distracting and outdated. Use transitions and subtle animations in your PowerPoint presentation. But you need to take care and do it right .

39. Beware of Clip Art

This PowerPoint presentation tip shouldn’t even have to be said. But please, please don’t use clip art. Use professional graphics instead.

40. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Afraid

The fear of public speaking is a real one. Many beginners think that if they’re feeling nervous that a presentation won’t go well or succeed. That might lead them to cancel the presentation.

Here’s a tip from expert Sandra Zimmer, who leads The Self-Expression Center on conquering your fears before you take the stage:

“Get out of your head and into your body. I do this through a grounding exercise that really works to calm nerves and bring you present in the moment.”

If you think that public speaking fears aren’t normal, you might never give your award-winning presentation. So don’t be afraid to be afraid, and acknowledge it’s part of the process!

41. Don’t Read Directly During Your PowerPoint Presentation

If you spend your entire presentation looking at the screen or your note cards, you’re sure to lose your audience’s attention. They’ll disengage from what you’re saying, and your presentation will fall flat.

Reading from your paper or screen also makes it look like you’re not prepared. Many people do it, but no one should. As a general rule, only present something you know well and have, at least mostly, memorized the main points of.

42. Don’t Miss Out on PowerPoint Customizations

Many new PowerPoint users often make significant mistakes when using Envato Elements designs.

The best way to see how to make a good presentation PPT is to start with designs from others. That means using a template, but that doesn’t mean you can’t customize them!

Don’t forget that PowerPoint templates are infinitely customizable. Think of them as guides with built-in presentation design tips.

These PowerPoint tips will help you get the most out of the application to level up your next presentation. Let’s dive in.

43. Use the Visual Guides

When you’re designing your next PowerPoint presentation, it helps to create a sense of visual rhythm. Slides that have objects aligned and centered are more likely to resonate with an audience.

44. Use a Few Animations (Tastefully)

Animations in effective PowerPoint presentations are a slippery slope. We’ve all sat through presentations where there were so many objects in motion that it was easy to lose focus on the key ideas in the presentation.

But that’s why animations get an unfairly bad reputation. Use animations to create motion and hold an audience’s attention. Use them sparingly and on key elements on your slide, and you’ll capture that attention properly.

45. Stage Key Content With Animations

You just learned that animations should avoid being distracting. But there’s an important principle to using animations properly. It’s called staging content.

Staging content means that the content appears step by step. There’s nothing worse than overwhelming an audience with all your content at once. But when you stage content, bring it on step by step.

Take it from presentation pro Suzannah Baum :

“If you’re sharing a slide with lots of different points on it, using the animation to reveal those points one at a time is a way to keep the presenter’s content flowing smoothly.”

46. Add a Video to Your PowerPoint

When you’re sharing a big idea in your presentation, it helps to share your perspective from a few different angles. Adding a video to supplement your content can do just that. Luckily, it’s easy to add and embed a YouTube video in your next PowerPoint presentation.

47. Add Charts & Graphs

Charts and graphs can help you tell stories with data. It’s easy for an audience to zone out when you throw a big data table or set of statistics at them.

instead, convert those to charts and graphs. Try out our tutorial to learn how to edit those graphs.

48. Build Your Own Infographics With SmartArt

Earlier in this tutorial, we gave you one of my favorite PowerPoint design tips: use infographic templates.

Here’s another. One of my favorite PowerPoint features is SmartArt, which allows you to build infographics right inside the app.

You don’t have to use another graphic design app like Photoshop or Illustrator to add visuals. Instead, try out SmartArt to help you build graphics that are easy to update.

49. Use Presenter View

Remember that when you use the PowerPoint, you’ re the presentation. The slides are just there to reinforce what you’ve got to say and support your speaking points.

That’s why I always recommend using Presenter view. More often than not, you’re going to have several displays. Presenter view shows your content on your screen, while your presentation is displayed on another screen.

50. Track Your PowerPoint Changes

One of my favorite PowerPoint design tips is to collaborate. Those who know you best will suggest compelling changes that are sure to help you succeed.

As you start collaborating on your presentation, it helps to keep track of proposed and included PowerPoint changes. Use this article to track changes made by others.

GST - Basic Concepts This presentation is designed to highlight the main principles and by its very nature it is simplified and generalised in nature. When considering any transaction, in particular, an unusual transaction either due to its nature, value or complexity seek advice.

GST - Introduction • GST is a transaction based consumption tax whereby the final tax payable is borne by the consumer not by the producer. • Each transaction has a GST interpretation and classification aspect. • It is a tax on the production cycle where at each point of the production process if there is a value added component GST can be raised. • The main issues for the producer are cashflow planning & getting the classification and recording of transactions correct to ensure GST compliance • The producer collects & remits the net GST to the ATO – in effect, each enterprise is a tax collector. • GST covers more than goods & services – it covers real estate, creation of legal rights, entitlements to intangible assets and rights, plus goods & services. • Goods are defined as: any form of tangible personal property. ( section 195-1 ) • Service not defined in the GST legislation – generally: any supply which is not a tangible good. A service is the completion of some task, function or work involving direct human intervention. Eg doctor performing an operation or a lawyer drafting a contract.

Question 1 RMIT as you may know does not pay income tax and someone asks you the following question: My school rents a car space on a monthly basis to a RMIT academic for $200 per month and raises an invoice for that amount. Do we raise GST on the invoice & if so how much?

Question 2 RMIT sold a terrace house it owned in Cardigan Street Carlton, it was being rented out as a residential property since about July 2001 when RMIT first acquired it. Initially RMIT was going to redevelop the property and the adjacent sites, which RMIT also owned into student accommodation, but there was a change of plans and the house was no longer needed so it was sold for $550,000. How much GST due on the sale?

Question 3 RMIT is to establish a medical centre open to staff, students and residents of CBD Melbourne. The first patient has a tattoo removed and the doctor bills the patient $110. How much GST is liable on the service?

Question 4 Carol the carpenter repairs a partition and sends an invoice to RMIT for $88. How much GST can RMIT claim back as input tax credit?

Question 5 A school at RMIT has to buy a piece of equipment but does not have the funds to so and has to arrange a bank loan. The bank charges a fee of $1100, including GST, as a borrowing fee What are the GST implications of this transaction?

Question 6 • RMIT has been engaged to undertake consulting work and provide advice on how an overseas company can get Australian government approval so that its aircraft can fly in Australia. • The consulting and research work is carried out in Australia, the aircraft are located overseas. • The contract has been drawn up with the provision that the “project cost is inclusive of GST”. The first invoice is due to be raised for $20000 – how much GST should be raised and why?

First principals - GST Supply • GST Charged & collected if– You make a taxable supply which is: 1. a supply for consideration (ie in exchange for something of value ) 2. made in the course or furtherance of an enterprise 3. supply connected with Australia 4. registered or required to be registered And Not a taxable supply to the extent it is GST free or input taxed. Supply widely defined to include goods and services, assignments, grants. rights, obligations and financial supply etc section 9-10(2)

First principles – GST Free 1.Main ones: • Education provided by a registered provider • Medical – ( generally eligible for Medicare rebate ) • Child care services • Exports • Basic food – meaning in general ‘raw’ food products available for human consumption eg. vegetables 2.Others – you may encounter • Religious services • Water, sewerage and drainage • Crown & farm land • Some activities of charities 3. Others – infrequently encountered • cars for the disabled • sale of business • inbound duty free shop sales etc

First principles - GST Free Classification • Why is the classification important: • If GST free sale/ supply do not raise GST but can claim input credits on the acquisitions to generate the supply. • So RMIT, which supplies mainly education services, which are GST free, can claim back the GST it pays, for example, on the computers acquired to generate education courses.

First Principles - Input taxed supplies Recall the basic tests for assessing whether GST on a supply was to be raised excluded GST free and input taxed supplies. What are Input taxed supplies? Main ones: Financial supplies Supply of residential rental property Sale of established residential property

Distinction between GST Free & Input Taxed • If GST free can claim input tax credits on inputs to generate outputs, in contrast if it is an input taxed supply can not claim input credits associated with generating those type of supplies/sales and can not raise on GST on the supply. GST free = can claim input tax credits Input taxed x can’t claim input tax credits

Input Tax credits v Input taxed supply We have looked at input taxed supply – a supply on which no GST is payable and the supplier can not claim input tax credits. What are input tax credits? Input Credits: relate to goods & services used to generate income or outputs. Sales or outputs have GST collected by the enterprise, conversely the enterprises get a credit or offset on the GST they pay for those items acquired to operate. eg: power, rent, computers, advertising etc

GST calculation summary – BAS Summary

Net GST Result In this simple example, the business may have generated a loss for the period, but it generated a net GST refund of: GST collected 400 Less Inputs tax credits -7750 Net refund (7350) This result is typical for RMIT so it is important, given that the main sale/output of RMIT is GST free education, to correctly identify, classify and record the input side of transactions from a GST perspective at the school/portfolio level. At the central FS level, more emphasis that both the inputs and outputs need to be equally considered since revenue grants from the State/Federal government plus other revenue sources are received by RMIT rather than by the school or portfolio.

1 – Grants • Grants • Donations • Appropriations • Sponsorship • Gifts In general these will be GST free as there is no payment in return for a service or good. A donation or gift is given for the purposes of benefaction or helping someone without any expectation of receiving something in return. A gift of books from a book publisher to the library is GST free. A grant from Big metal Ltd given to the Engineering faculty to study a new metal fabrication process they have developed and to prepare a report with recommendations, analysis and which then becomes the exclusive property of Big Metal Ltd. This is not probably not a gift but a fee for service and so subject to GST.

Question - Grants Read the attached AACMA document dated 28.08.06 & RMIT invoice: How would you record the transaction & why? Now consider the AACMA document dated 31.12.07

2. Fringe Benefits Tax - FBT • As you may recall RMIT does not pay income tax but as an employer is subject to FBT which is a tax paid by RMIT in respect of benefits provided to RMIT employees ( or relatives family members, called associates, of employees ) • Expenses which are not deductible such as outputs subject to FBT are not deductible. • Entertainment: • The general rule/test is: The test for claiming GST input tax credit is whether the expenditure was incurred in furtherance of an enterprise. Non-deductible expenditure do not give rise to input tax creditable acquisitions. Conclusion: If an item is subject to FBT it is non-deductible for income tax purposes ( not incurred in furtherance of an enterprise ) and as a result not eligible for claiming GST credits.

Examples of FBT expenses & GST Impact • Example 1: an RMIT employee taking three clients out to lunch, alcohol served, at a cost of $400 including GST, the following is acceptable in terms of which entries to post based on the current chart of accounts: - $100 Entertainment & Hospitality (FBT) - GST (account 556352) - $300 Hospitality & Meeting No FBT - No GST (account 553301) • Example 2: Alternatively if the cost was say $200 ( the $300 minor benefit and the irregular and/or infrequent exemption may apply), could post the total expense to $200 Hospitality and Meeting No FBT - No GST (account 553301) This assumes it is difficult or impractical to somehow apportion the costs between the RMIT employee and the clients - & that the expenditure was unexpected and a once –off.

GST Impact of FBT Expenses • Entertainment • Motor vehicle • Travel – eg. academic goes overseas to a run a course for 2 weeks and adds 2 weeks of holiday: there may be a benefit. • Residual & Property benefits • The main RMIT employee provided benefits are: Entertainment is the item you will most frequently encounter and in total dollar terms is significant, so this is what we shall examine.

Entertainment Income Tax Act defines: “Entertainment by way of food, drink, or recreation, or accommodation or travel to do with providing such entertainment.” So it is: Something pleasurable, a diversion not related to completion of a work obligation or task. Basic questions / tests - will assist in determining whether or not entertainment: Why was expenditure incurred? When during work hours or after? Who RMIT employees &/ or third parties/RMIT clients Where at RMIT or off-campus?

Tax Ruling – TR 97/17 RMIT is a tax exempt entity & the entertainment it provides falls under specific requirements tests: Minor benefits – ( non-entertainment ) <$300 no FBT If benefit is irregular, unexpected and or difficult to value Eg; taxi home after working back late one night then minor benefit Minor benefits – (entertainment ) <$300 no FBT if meet two further alternate tests: ( section 58P(1) 1. RMIT employee’s entertainment is incidental to the entertainment of outsiders & consists of a light meal/refreshments or 2. ‘entertainment’ on RMIT premises to recognise the special achievements of an employee eg promotion or working 30 years+ at RMIT.

Entertainment examples • Example 1: an RMIT employee taking three clients out to lunch, alcohol served, at a cost of $400 including GST, the following is acceptable in terms of which entries to post based on the current chart of accounts: - $100 Entertainment & Hospitality (FBT) - GST (account 556352) - $300 Hospitality & Meeting No FBT - No GST (account 553301) • Example 2: Alternatively if the cost was say $200 ( the $300 minor benefit and the irregular and/or infrequent exemption may apply), could post the total expense to $200 Hospitality and Meeting No FBT - No GST (account 553301) This assumes it is difficult or impractical to somehow apportion the costs between the RMIT employee and the clients - & that the expenditure was unexpected and a once –off.

FBT Entertainment

Question - 7 You are asked the following question. A RMIT staff member is given a corporate card and on their first overseas trip spend $44,000. Airfares - $11,000 Accommodation - $ 22,000 Meals - $ 11,000 One meal by itself was $3,300 including wine, beer, spirits and entertainment. How is the transaction recorded and what is RMIT tax position?

Question - 8 You are asked the following question: My school purchases wine in bulk this is consumed on site during various functions – farewells, presentations by clients, staff meetings & other seminars. What are the FBT & GST implications? How should it be treated and recorded?

Question 9 An academic and staff member get an employer provided fringe benefit, they each make an employee contribution to offset the FBT cost, they pay $1000 each. What are the GST implications of these payments?

Possible answers to questions 1. Car park is subject to GST – slide 8 2. Input taxed - slide 11 3. GST = $6 removal of tattoo currently not subject to Medicare rebate . Medical service means: (a) a service for which medicare benefit is payable under Part II of the Health Insurance Act 1973; or (b) any other service supplied by or on behalf of a *medical practitioner or *approved pathology practitioner that is generally accepted in the medical profession as being necessary for the appropriate treatment of the *recipient of the supply. 4. Nil – question states an ‘invoice’ not a ‘tax invoice’, therefore the inference is that Carol is not registered for GST. 5. Financial supplies are input taxed see slide 11 – however there are particular rules which can allow input credits to be claimed provided minimum thresholds are met - less than $50,000 or less than 10% of the total input credits for that year. In general, claim all financial supply input credits, including in this example. 6. Nil – service is provided to an overseas entity and is not connected property located with Australia, therefore the supply not connected with Australia and so not subject to GST. 7. Probably require further info. On current info: - no GST as all related to overseas therefore not connected to Australia – slide 8 8. Probably subject to FBT and so no GST input tax credits - slide 21. 9. employee contributions are subject to FBT - $1000/11 = $90.91

How to add citations to your presentation

When you craft a formal presentation, you often have to conduct research. Any books, journals, and other forms of media used should be properly cited for your personal reference as well as for your audience. Learn how to create citations in a presentation to appropriately credit different works.

Why should you provide citations?

Information referenced from another source must be clearly cited. Proper citations serve as a roadmap for research, help track ideas, and establish credibility. Citations give credit to the original works and provide transparency for readers and their audience regarding the source.

Readers can access your sources and develop a deeper understanding of your research. They can also explore research from your respective discipline or industry. Additionally, researchers utilize citations to align their work with established experts and bolster the validity of their claims. Without citations, audiences may assume your idea is original, resulting in plagiarism. Acknowledging the intellectual contributions of others with proper citation fosters academic integrity and supports the advancement of ideas amongst scholars and researchers.

How to source citations in a presentations

To source citations effectively in presentations, consider the following:

• Identify your sources: Begin by identifying all the sources you have used in your research, including books, articles, websites, and any other relevant materials. Note the authors, publication dates, publisher, and other relevant information for citations.
• Include in-text citations: Incorporate in-text citations throughout your presentation slides to indicate when you are referencing external sources. This helps your audience understand the basis of your arguments and provides transparency regarding the origin of the information presented.
• Provide a reference list: At the end of your presentation, include a reference list that provides full bibliographic information for each source cited. This allows your audience to locate the original works for further reading and verification. Ensure your reference list adheres to the citation style used with your citations.
• Use visual aids: Consider using visual aids , such as infographics or posters , to display citations alongside the corresponding content. This helps reinforce the connection between the information presented and its original source.

Alternatively, you can also provide the references verbally throughout the presentation. This allows the audience to follow along with your presentation and directly reference sources as you present. If you are creating a presentation for a class, follow the instructions or preferences of your instructor. By doing so, you can ensure your citations are understood and appropriate for your audience.

Citations are a critical component of an effective presentation. Citations provide a roadmap for your research, credit the appropriate authors, and foster academic integrity. They’re easy to include in a presentation as in-text citations on your slides and as a reference list. Include citations to make sure you presentation credits the appropriate authors and strengthens its validity.

How to make your presentation sound more like a conversation.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

The main difference between strong, confident speakers and speakers who seem nervous in front of the room is in how relaxed and conversational they appear. Here are some basic pointers that will help you create a conversational tone when speaking, regardless of the size of your audience.

1. Avoid using the word, “presentation.” Every time you say, “I’m here to give you a presentation on X,” or, “In this presentation, you’ll see…,” you are emphasizing the formal, structured, sometimes artificial nature of the interaction. No one wants to be “presented” to. Instead, use language that emphasizes a natural, conversational exchange. “We’re here today to talk about X,” or “Today I’ll be sharing some ideas regarding Y.” You can even go so far as to say, “I’m glad we have time together today to discuss Z.” Even if your talk is not going to truly be a dialogue, you can use language that suggests engagement with the audience.

2. If you are using PowerPoint, avoid using the word “slide.” Instead of talking about the medium, talk about the concepts. Swap out, “This slide shows you…,” for, “Here we see….” Instead of saying, “On that slide I showed you a moment ago,” say, “A moment ago we were discussing X. Here’s how that issue will impact Y and Z.” Casual conversations don’t usually involve slide decks. Just because your complicated presentation on tax exposure, supply chain issues, or new health care regulations requires you to use slides, doesn’t mean you have to draw attention to that fact that the setting is formal and structured.

3. For many large-group events, speakers are provided with what’s called a “confidence monitor,” a computer screen that sits on the floor at the speaker’s feet showing the slide that appears on the large screen above the speaker’s head. Avoid using confidence monitors. Our natural inclination when using a confidence monitor is to gesture at the bullet point we’re discussing at the moment. However, we are pointing to a bullet point on the screen at our feet, which the audience can’t see, so it creates a disconnect between us and the audience. Instead, stand to the side of the large screen and gesture at the bullet point you’re talking about so that the audience knows which point you are discussing at the moment.

4. Don’t tell your audience, “I want this to be interactive.” It’s your job to make it interactive. If you are delivering the type of presentation where your audience size allows you to create true engagement with your listeners, create that connecting in stages to “warm up” the audience. Stage One engagement is to ask the audience a question relevant to your topic that you know most of the audience members can respond to affirmatively. “Who here has ever bought a new car?” or, “How many of you have ever waited more than 5 minutes on hold on a customer service line?” Raise your hand as you ask the question to indicate to the audience how to respond. Whoever has raised their hand has now participated in the discussion. They have indicated a willingness to engage. Stage Two engagement is calling on one of the people who raised their hand and asking a specific, perfunctory question. Again, it needs to be a question they can answer easily. If your first questions is, “Who here has bought a new car?” you can then call on someone and ask, “How long ago,” or “What kind of car did you buy most recently?” If your first question was, “Have you ever waited on hold for more than 5 minutes,” you can’t ask, “What company were you calling at the time?” The people who raised their hands weren’t thinking of a specific instance; they were just thinking broadly about that type of experience. You could, however, call on someone and ask, “Do you prefer when they play music or ads for the company’s products?” Anyone can answer that question. At that point, you are in an actual dialogue with that person. Stage Three engagement is asking them a question where they need to reveal something more personal. “How does that make you feel when you hear those ads?” You’ve warmed up your audience and drawn them in with baby steps. Now you have actual, meaningful audience participation.

5. Use gestures. When we’re speaking in an informal setting, we all use hand gestures; some people use more than others, but we all use them. When we try to rein in our gestures, two things happen that diminish our speaking style. First, we look stiff and unnatural. We look like we are presenting a guarded or cautious version of ourselves; we look less genuine. Second, hand gestures burn up the nervous energy we all have when speaking in front of a large group. That’s good. When we try to minimize our hand gestures, we tie up that nervous energy and it starts to leak out on odd ways, where we start to tap our foot, fidget with our notes or microphone, or tilt our head side to side to emphasize key points. Just let the gestures fly. It’s unlikely they will be too large or distracting. I have coached people on their presentation skills for 26 years. In that time, I have met three people who gestured too much. Everyone else would benefit from using their gestures more freely.

The impact we have as communicators is based on the cumulative effect of many different elements of our delivery. These suggestions alone won’t make you a terrific presenter. They will, however, add to the overall package your present of yourself when speaking to large audiences.
