Annual Company Tax Return

✅ Who Can Lodge Company Tax Returns?

Company tax returns can be lodged directly with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or through a registered tax agent. The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) authorises registered TAX agents to prepare and lodge tax returns on behalf of clients, ensuring compliance with Australian tax law.

Working with a registered tax accountant helps ensure that your company tax return is accurate, timely, and strategically prepared. Tax professionals stay updated with current legislation, offering expert guidance on tax planning and helping you maximise deductions while remaining compliant.

✅ When Are Company Tax Returns Due?

For companies with a 30 June balance date and no overdue prior year returns:

• Due Date: 28 February or 15 May of the following financial year.

If your company has overdue tax returns:

• Due Date: 31 October of the same year.

⚠️ Late lodgement may result in ATO penalties, so it’s crucial to lodge on time.

Registered tax agents with a strong lodgement history are granted extended due dates under the ATO’s tax agent lodgement program. By using a tax agent, your business gains extra time to organise documents and review your return, reducing the risk of late fees.
