Why use a tax accountant for your return?
A simple return can be straightforward. But many people have income or expenses that make their tax affairs more complex, and getting them wrong can cost you a refund or lead to an ATO review. You'll get real value from an accountant if you have:
- Sold shares, property or crypto (capital gains tax)
- Trust distributions, including from managed investment trusts
- An employee share scheme
- Rent from an investment property
- Work-related expenses, a home office, car or travel costs
- Income from more than one job, contracting or overseas sources
What's included
- Review of your income: salary and wages, dividends, interest, trusts, rental and capital gains
- Every deduction you're entitled to, with the records you need to support it
- Rental property schedules and depreciation
- Capital gains tax calculations for shares, property and crypto
- Electronic lodgment and a clear explanation of your outcome
Lodgment deadlines
If you lodge your own return, it's generally due by 31 October. If you're a client of a registered tax agent before that date, you can usually lodge later under the agent lodgment program. Talk to us early if you're running late.
