If you need a personal return — wages, rideshare, rental property or capital gains — see personal tax returns. We make tax season stress-free, accurate, and ATO-compliant, so you can focus on running your business.

Tax Return FAQs

The cost of a business tax return depends on your business size and complexity. At AffordBooksTax, we use a tier-based system linked to revenue, so smaller businesses aren’t overcharged. Business tax return fees start from as little as $478.

A business tax return includes preparation and lodgement with the ATO, deduction review, financial statement preparation if required, and compliance checks. We also reconcile BAS, GST, and PAYG to ensure your return is accurate and complete.

Yes, you can lodge your own return through ATO Online services for business, but most small businesses choose a registered tax agent. Using a tax accountant ensures accuracy, maximises deductions, and helps avoid ATO penalties for late or incorrect lodgement.

You’ll need financial records such as income statements, expense receipts, bank statements, payroll records, and BAS lodgements. If you use Xero or MYOB, we can extract the required data directly to prepare and lodge your company tax return.

Missing the deadline can result in penalties, interest charges, and potential compliance issues. As a registered tax agent, AffordBooksTax can help you apply for extensions, lodge overdue returns, and bring your business back up to date with the ATO.

Even if you use Xero or MYOB, a tax accountant is essential to prepare and lodge your business tax return correctly. Software keeps your records organised, but an accountant ensures compliance, applies the right tax laws, and maximises your deductions.
