Submitting your tax return on time is super important. Not only does it make you look good to the ATO, but Australians who lodge their return late can face penalties of up to $1,100 depending on how late your return is. Something to avoid if it can be helped!
Being audited by the ATO is not on anyone’s wish list. It can be time-consuming, stressful and the worst case scenario could end up costing you money in extra tax, penalties or interest. If you’ve made mistakes in your return, failed to disclose information or misrepresented your financial situation, you could become a target for a review or audit.
The heat is coming and so is the tax deadline! If you’re a late comer, fear not, ITP Qld is ready to fight fire with fire!

30 June is a date most of us associate with the end of the financial year and the beginning of tax return season. But what’s less clear, are the deadlines for completing your tax return. This date can be different depending on whether you’re a business or an individual, as well as a range of other determining factors.
Well, it’s that time of year again. The time to round up your receipts and get ready to lodge your personal tax return.

It can be confusing, time-consuming and stressful, which is why so many people turn to a professional for help.
