Tax lodged on time, without surprises.
We prepare your tax returns and BAS (the form for GST, the tax on most sales) and lodge them on time. When the ATO (the tax office) writes to you, we answer.
What's included
Every lodgement the ATO expects, from one team.
We prepare and lodge every BAS and the year-end return.
- We prepare income tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships, sole traders and individuals. That includes rental properties, shares and a side venture beside a salary. We work from checked figures and lodge by the due date.
- A deduction is an expense that lowers your tax. We claim every one you are entitled to, and nothing you are not.
- BAS is the form you send the ATO for GST. IAS is the smaller form for PAYG when you are not registered for GST. We lodge them each month, quarter or year, depending on how you are registered.
- We sort out GST registration and reporting for you. We check what you claim matches what the books say.
- PAYG withholding is the tax taken out of staff wages. PAYG instalments are tax paid in advance on business income. We work out both and vary them when your income changes.
- Fringe benefits tax (FBT) is the tax on cars, meals and other staff perks. We prepare the FBT return and lodge it for you.
- Send us any ATO letter and we take it from there. If the ATO audits you (checks your records), we handle it and quote the work first.
- If you are behind, we work out what you owe first. Then we bring your lodgements up to date. We ask the ATO for a payment plan you can keep.
- Before 30 June we look at timing, super (your retirement savings) and your set-up. We do it while a change can still help.
Key dates
Four ATO dates that come round each year.
These are the usual dates, and yours may differ. A tax agent is someone registered with the government to lodge for you. We are one, so later dates usually apply when we lodge.
| What | When |
|---|---|
| BAS (quarterly) | Usually about four weeks after the quarter ends, with extra time over the Christmas quarter. Later dates apply when we lodge for you. |
| Income tax return | Usually by mid-May the following year when a tax agent lodges it. |
| PAYG instalments | Usually each quarter, on the same date as the BAS (or the IAS if you are not registered for GST). |
| Super guarantee (the super you must pay for staff) | Within 7 business days of each payday (this changed on 1 July 2026). |
How it works
We start with last year's return, then set a price.
The steps are the same whatever the size of the return.
-
We look at last year's return
We go through what you lodged last year and what is due now. If anything is overdue, we list it. This takes about thirty minutes, by phone or in person.
-
You get a price for the year
We put the lodgements, the due dates and the cost in writing. You agree before any work starts. An ATO letter does not turn into a surprise bill. We tell you the cost before we reply.
-
We lodge, you get a copy
We prepare each lodgement and send it to you to approve. Once it is lodged, you get a copy. One person watches your due dates all year. You can reach them by phone, text or WhatsApp. When the ATO writes, you get an answer the same day.

Company, trust, partnership or SMSF (a super fund you run yourself). The set-up you trade through decides how much tax you pay and what is protected. It is worth getting this right early on.
