CLEAR ANSWERS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got questions about Australian tax compliance, switching accountants, or Xero cloud integration? Find immediate answers below.

Once you authorise us as your registered tax agent, we can help coordinate the handover from your previous accountant and request the records needed to continue your accounting and tax work. We aim to make the transition organised and straightforward while keeping your records and lodgment obligations on track.

Standard quarterly BAS due dates are generally 28 October, 28 February, 28 April and 28 July. Eligible businesses may receive later lodgment dates when lodging online or through a registered tax or BAS agent. Income tax return due dates vary depending on the entity, lodgment history and whether you use a registered tax agent, so we confirm the applicable date for your circumstances.

Xero can help Australian small businesses manage bank feeds, invoicing, reconciliations, payroll and Single Touch Payroll reporting in one cloud-based system. We can help assess whether Xero is suitable for your business and set it up around your bookkeeping and reporting needs.

You may be able to claim expenses that are genuinely related to earning your business or employment income, such as eligible operating costs, work-related expenses, software, professional fees and certain vehicle or home-office costs. The deductible amount depends on your circumstances, business use and supporting records, and private expenses are generally not deductible.

Yes, we prepare individual tax returns for professionals, sole traders, contractors, and property investors in addition to comprehensive monthly retainer packages for growing companies and trusts.

Our office is conveniently located at Level-1, 18 Colbee Ct, Phillip ACT. We welcome in-person consultations by appointment as well as 100% secure video conferences via Zoom or Teams.

Most Australian businesses must register for GST when their current or projected GST turnover reaches $75,000. Different rules apply to some activities, including taxi and ride-sourcing services, and voluntary registration may also be available below the threshold.

Most Australian business and tax records generally need to be kept for at least five years, although some records may need to be retained for longer depending on the transaction or tax issue. Good digital record keeping also makes BAS, tax returns and ATO enquiries easier to manage.
