For individual tax return clients

We make sure we complete your tax return in a specified timeframe to get the best outcome for you. We will get you all possible deductions and offsets available to your profession and maximise tax refunds. We lodge all completed tax returns the same day we prepare them. Clients generally receive tax refunds within 14 working days.

Let us show you how we can help in your business

We can tailor make the fee package for you including bookkeeping, GST/ BAS lodgements, financial accounts, compliances with ASIC, ATO and other external bodies, tax planning, tax returns for all entities and personal returns within the group at very reasonable prices. You can also choose to make payment in monthly installments. Our clients save time and money in a package, as there are no hidden costs at year-end. Please inquire in the office for further details.

Records you′ll need to complete your tax return

Before you sit down to do your tax, you’ll need to gather all the right information. Here are some of the documents you’ll need to complete your tax return.

Payment summaries – Outlines the income you have received from your employer, super fund or government payment like Centrelink and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Bank statements – Details any interest you have earned during the period and fees you have paid.

Shares, unit trusts or managed funds statements – Information on dividends or distributions you’ve received. Dividends that you’ve elected to reinvest must be declared as income.

Buy and sell investment statements – Needed to calculate capital gains and losses. If you bought or sold any shares you can access the details on your online broking account or you can get them from your investment adviser or stockbroker.

Records from your rental property – If you use a property manager you will probably get an annual tax statement that details income and expenses, otherwise, you will need to gather details of income received and expenses paid, including any capital gains or capital losses from the sale of the property.

Foreign income – Details of foreign pensions or other foreign income.

Private health insurance policy statement – Information needed to complete the private health insurance section of your tax return.

Income you must declare

Here’s a list of common types of income that must be declared on your tax return.

  • Employment income
  • Super pensions, annuities and government payments
  • Investment income (including interest, dividends, rent and capital gains)
  • Business, partnership and trust income
  • Foreign income
  • Income from crowdfunding (for example donations received for a venture in which you intend to make a profit)
  • Income from the sharing economy (for example Uber or Air BnB)
  • Other income – including compensation and insurance payments, discounted shares under employee share schemes, some prizes and awards

Visit the ATO’s website for more information on the income you must declare.

Tax deduction you can claim

To claim a deduction for work-related expenses:

  • You must have spent the money yourself and not been reimbursed.
  • It must be directly related to earning your income.
  • You must have a record to prove you paid for it.

When your expenses meet these criteria, here’s a list of the things you may be able to claim.

Vehicle and travel expenses – This does not normally include the cost of travel between work and home but if you use your car for work or work in different locations then you may be able to claim a deduction.

Clothing, laundry and dry-cleaning expenses – To legitimately claim the cost of a uniform, it needs to be unique and distinctive, for example, it contains your employer’s logo, or is specific to your occupation, like chef’s pants or colored safety vests.

Gifts and donations – to organisations that are endorsed by the ATO as deductible gift recipients.

Home office expenses – Costs could include your computer, phone or other electronic device and running costs such as an internet service. You can only claim the proportion of expenses that relate to work, not private use.

Interest, dividend and other investment income deductions – Examples include interest, account fees, investing magazines and subscriptions, internet access, depreciation on your computer.

Self-education expenses – Providing the study relates to your current job, you can claim expenses like course fees, student union fees, textbooks, stationery, internet, home office expenses, professional journals, and some travel.

Tools, equipment and other equipment – If you buy tools or equipment to help earn your income, you can claim a deduction for some or all of the cost. Examples include protective gear, including sunscreen, sunglasses and hats if you work outside, office equipment, safety equipment and technical instruments.

Other deductions – other items you can claim include union fees, the cost of managing tax affairs, income protection insurance (not if it’s through super), overtime meals, personal super contributions and other expenses incurred in the course of earning an income.

Visit the ATO’s website for more information on deductions you can claim.

What tax deductions are not allowed

Here’s a list of deductions you usually can’t claim on your tax return.

Travel between home and work – which is generally considered private travel.

Car expenses – unless you are transporting bulky tools or equipment, that you need to do your job, that your employer requires you to transport, and there is no secure area to store the equipment at work.

Car expenses – that have been salary sacrificed.

Meal expenses – unless you were required to work away from home overnight.

Private travel – including any personal travel portion of work-related travel.

Everyday clothes – you bought to wear to work (for example, a suit or black pants), even if your employer requires you to wear them.

The cost of laundering eligible work clothes – unless you can show how you calculated the cost.

Higher Education Loan Program – contributions charged through the HELP scheme.

Self-education expenses – where there is no direct connection to your current employment.

Phone or internet expenses – that relate to private use.

Tools and equipment that cost more than $300 – however, you can depreciate the cost over a number of years.

Test your understanding of what you can and can’t claim with the ATO’s myDeductions quiz. If you are still not sure what you can or can’t claim visit the ATO or a give us a call.
