Taxation
Taxation encompasses your annual tax compliance requirements. For most individuals, their main taxation requirement is the lodgement of their personal tax return, with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The tax return summarises your income and work related expenses each financial year, ending 30 June.
We prepare tax returns for our clients to capture all this information. As part of our process, we ask relevant questions, to ensure appropriate items are claimed. As tax agent, we access ATO records such as salaries, interest, dividends and private health insurance. Lodging your tax returns through a tax agent, you can normally obtain a later due date, typically in May the following year.
We can assist with lodgement of multiple years, where you might have missed prior year tax returns. We also prepare tax returns for deceased estates, to ensure appropriate tax calculations and returns are prepared upon death and assisting executors with their role.
The main tax obligations can be summarised as follows:
Personal Tax Returns
- Income tax return checklist – for guidance with collation of tax information.
- Detailed questions – for a better idea of your situation and to maximise items to claim.
- ATO prefill data – access to ATO information for efficient processing of tax returns.
Business Tax Returns
- Tax Returns for Business Entities – Company, Trust, Partnership and Sole Trader.
- Minutes – documenting company, trust and partnership minutes.
- ASIC compliance – acting as ASIC agent to manage annual company ASIC correspondence.
Business Activity Statements
- BAS lodgement – assist with monthly and quarterly GST reporting to ATO.
- Payroll – assist with reporting wages and PAYG tax withheld to ATO.
- PAYG tax instalments – assist with review and variation of tax instalments.
We would be pleased to assist in preparing and lodging your income tax returns.
