Do I need a company return if my business made a loss?

Yes, a return is still required even in a loss year, and losses may be able to be carried forward against future income.

What's the deadline for company tax returns?

Deadlines vary by lodgement program and prior compliance history. We'll confirm your specific due date once engaged.

Can you review whether my structure is still right for my business?

Yes, a structure review is a standard part of our business tax return service, particularly if your turnover has grown since setup.

Does it matter which state my company is registered in?

No. Company tax law and ASIC obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 apply the same way nationally, and we manage lodgements for companies registered in any state or territory.

Overview

Structure-Aware Returns for Australian Businesses

Australian businesses span sole traders, family trusts, and incorporated companies, each with a different return, different obligations, and different opportunities, regardless of which state they're registered in.

A local office isn't what makes a business tax return accurate. A registered agent who actually reviews your structure, rather than just re-processing last year's numbers, is the difference between a compliant return and an optimised one.

What We Cover

Company income tax returns (including small business tax rate eligibility)
Trust tax returns and beneficiary distribution statements
Partnership tax returns
Reconciliation of business accounts prior to lodgement
Liaison with the ATO on assessments and payment arrangements

ATO & Regulatory Compliance

Company lodgements sit under both ATO tax law and ASIC obligations under the Corporations Act 2001, which apply identically to a company regardless of which state it's registered in.

Division 7A: private company loans to shareholders/associates must be on commercial terms or risk being treated as an unfranked dividend
Trust distribution resolutions must generally be finalised before 30 June
Small business tax offset and concessions eligibility depends on aggregated turnover thresholds
Five-year record-keeping requirement applies to all business records, not just the return itself
