What's included
Your business tax return prepared and lodged accurately and on time, plus forward-looking tax planning so decisions get made with next year's tax bill in mind, not as a surprise after the fact. That includes guidance on structure, deductions you might be missing, and timing decisions (like the instant asset write-off) that are easy to get wrong without a second set of eyes.
This page covers the tax return and planning side specifically. For the ongoing day-to-day (BAS, bookkeeping, and payroll), see [Bookkeeping & BAS].
Why a local tax agent matters for your business
Business tax isn't one-size-fits-all, a decision that makes sense for a company won't necessarily suit a trust, and a sole trader has different obligations again. Getting proper advice on your specific structure, rather than generic guidance, is where a lot of businesses either save money or lose it.
Pricing
Your first consultation, 30 minutes, by phone, video or in person, is free, so you can talk through your situation before anything's confirmed. A fixed base fee based on revenue covers the a business return for sole traders, companies or trusts. There's no surprise invoice: you'll know what applies to your situation before anything is lodged, and a personalised quote is confirmed at your consultation.
