FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
For personal tax returns, you will need your PAYG payment summary (or income statement via myGov), bank statements, receipts for deductions, private health insurance statements, and any other income records. For business returns, additional financial records are required.
Our fees vary depending on the complexity of your situation. Personal tax returns start from $250, while business accounting packages are tailored to your needs. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your requirements and provide a fixed-fee quote.
BAS (Business Activity Statement) is the form used to report your GST, PAYG withholding, and other tax obligations to the ATO. GST (Goods and Services Tax) is the 10% tax added to most goods and services. You report GST as part of your BAS.
While not legally required, we strongly recommend using a specialist SMSF accountant. SMSFs have complex compliance requirements including annual audits, tax returns, and regulatory reporting. An error can result in significant penalties.
Absolutely! We provide complete business setup services including company registration, ABN application, tax file number, GST registration, business structure advice, and ongoing accounting support. We help you start on the right foot.
As a tradie, you can typically claim tools and equipment, vehicle expenses, phone and internet, work clothing and protective gear, union fees, training courses, home office expenses, and travel between job sites. Keep all receipts!
