If you’re lodging on your own, the due date is 31 October after the end of the financial year. However, registered tax agents like SMH Accountants can often access extended lodgement deadlines depending on your lodgement program.
If the trustee fails to make a valid distribution resolution before 30 June, the undistributed income may be taxed at the highest marginal tax rate. That’s why timely advice and correct documentation are critical to avoid unnecessary tax.
We handle everything, from preparation to lodgement, ensuring full compliance, transparency, and maximum benefit for all beneficiaries.
