What happens if I haven't lodged my tax return for several years?

We can help you catch up on multiple years of overdue returns. We'll work with the ATO on your behalf to manage any penalties and get you back on track. Many clients are surprised to find they're actually owed refunds.

Will I face penalties for late tax returns?

The ATO may apply a Failure to Lodge (FTL) penalty, which can be up to $1,110 per return per 28-day period. However, we can help negotiate penalty remissions in many circumstances, especially if you have a reasonable excuse.

Can you help if I've received an ATO notice or default assessment?

Yes, we specialise in helping clients who have received default assessments, garnishee notices, or other ATO correspondence about overdue returns. We'll review your situation and lodge amended returns where beneficial.

How many years back can I lodge tax returns?

We can help you lodge returns for any financial year where records are available. The ATO typically requires the last 5 years to be up to date, but we can go back further if needed.

Do I need receipts if my returns are from years ago?

We can work with bank statements and other available records to reconstruct deductions where original receipts aren't available. We'll maximise your legitimate claims using the evidence available.

Can you help with ATO debt and payment plans?

Yes, once your returns are lodged, we can help you set up a payment plan with the ATO if you have a tax debt. We'll negotiate terms that work for your financial situation.

Should I be worried about my late tax returns?

If you are prepared to do something about it, then you need not worry. The ATO are harder on the people that hide so it’s better to come out of the dark instead of waiting for them to find you.

Will I get fined for having late tax returns?

You can be fined up to $1,565 for each late tax return, and more if it goes to court. However, I have found the ATO is very understanding when it comes to peopleu2019s late tax returns. I have lodged tax returns for individuals more than 20 years late who have not received a single fine. So itu2019s luck of the draw. If you are unlucky enough to be fined, we can often get them waived if we give a valid reason.

Will I Get in Trouble for having Late Tax Returns?

So long as we contact the ATO and tell them we’re going to file your late tax returns then they will generally leave you alone. The ATO will only escalate things if you do not engage with them. So as long as we let them know weu2019re working on your late tax returns, they will generally hold off any kind of escalation.

How Much Does it Cost to Lodge My Late Tax Returns?

Depending on how many returns are outstanding, they can range from $198 per year to $132 per year when you have 10 years or more outstanding. If your affairs are more complicated, then there may be additional costs, but we will advise you of these before we commence work.

How do I get My Late Tax Returns Prepared if I Don't have the Payment Summaries?

We can generally get most of your payment summaries and other basic income information from the ATO. For the last 16 years, this is easy and quick to obtain. For years prior to 2009, it can sometimes take a few weeks to obtain the records.
