Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge for a wage
earner's tax return?

and complexity of the taxation return. As an indicative guide
a simple PAYG employee tax return is from $49.00 inclusive of
GST and a quarterly BAS / GST return for a small business is from
$100 inclusive of GST.
Extra charges apply for business

Do you provide Financial
Planning Advice?
Australian Tax Returns specialise
in taxation, accounting and book keeping services only and do
not provide personal financial investment advice. We are able
to answer taxation related questions on existing investments or
investments proposed by other investment professionals.
Do we need to come together to complete my tax return?
No. You will only need your partner’s
details if you are claiming Family Tax Benefits through your tax
return.
Does an estate on a deceased
relative require a tax return? Do I declare the inheritance in
my tax return?
If the deceased has been lodging
tax returns in the last years (as a result of income above thresholds
earned), a final tax return to date of death will be required.
Any inheritances received are not declared in your return, only
the income you earn on the capital needs to be declared.
Do I need details of overseas
pensions received?
Most (not all) overseas pensions
are taxable.
Do I need to maintain
paperwork for long periods of time?
As a rule of thumb, all lodgments
and receipts should be maintained for five years.
