Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions about business tax returns.
What is included in a business tax return service?
A business tax return service includes the preparation, review, and lodgement of your company or small business’s annual tax return. It covers income reporting, expense and deduction analysis, BAS/GST lodgements, and PAYG summaries. Accountants also ensure ATO compliance, identify eligible deductions, and provide strategic tax planning to help minimise liabilities and improve your business’s financial efficiency.

The due date for business tax returns depends on your business structure and whether you use a registered tax agent. For most businesses lodging through an agent, the deadline can be extended to May of the following year. Sole traders and small businesses lodging independently typically need to submit by 31 October. It’s best to confirm with your accountant to avoid penalties or late fees.

A registered tax agent ensures your business tax return is accurate, compliant, and optimised for savings. They stay updated on ATO regulations, manage complex deductions, and help you avoid errors that could trigger audits or penalties. Beyond lodgement, they provide valuable tax planning and advisory services to improve cash flow and profitability.
To prepare a business tax return, you’ll need financial records such as income statements, expense invoices, bank statements, BAS reports, payroll summaries, and asset registers. Accurate record-keeping ensures all deductions are claimed correctly and helps your accountant prepare a compliant, error-free return. It’s recommended to maintain digital records throughout the year for easier lodgement.
BAS (Business Activity Statement) and GST reporting are key components of your overall tax obligations. Your BAS includes details about GST collected and paid, PAYG withholding, and other business taxes. Accurate BAS reporting ensures your income tax return aligns with ATO data, preventing discrepancies and penalties. Accountants help manage both seamlessly for consistency and compliance.
Yes. An experienced accountant can identify legitimate tax deductions, structure your finances effectively, and provide strategies to legally minimise your taxable income. This might include timing asset purchases, managing depreciation, claiming eligible business expenses, or optimising super contributions — all within ATO guidelines to enhance profitability and cash flow.

The cost of a business tax return varies depending on your business structure, complexity, and reporting needs. On average, small business returns range from $400 to $1,200, while company returns with BAS and compliance support can cost more. Partnering with professionals like SMH Accountants & Advisors ensures value through accuracy, compliance, and strategic savings.

If your business tax return is lodged after the due date, the ATO may issue penalties or interest charges. Repeated late lodgements can also affect your business’s compliance status. Using a registered tax agent helps you stay on top of deadlines and can secure extensions if needed.
