Do you have late tax returns?

We’ve helped hundreds of people with late tax returns, and they all wished they had come to us sooner. A good night’s sleep is just a phone call away.

When you appoint us as your tax agent, it becomes our problem.

We charge a fixed rate from $110 per year for late tax returns if you have 10 years, which is fully tax deductible in your next year’s tax return.

We can usually get your payment summaries from the ATO, so you don’t even need records.

We’ve successfully applied for remission of fines and penalties issued for late tax returns. Every circumstance is different, but weu2019ll do our best to help you.

You will never have to speak directly with the ATO, we’ll speak for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
