Who this is for

Support for simple returns and more involved tax situations.

A good tax return is about more than entering figures into a form. It should reflect your full circumstances, claim the deductions you are entitled to and reduce the risk of problems later.

Employees

Salary and wage earners with work-related deductions, multiple employers, allowances or other income.

Property investors

Rental income, interest, repairs, depreciation, capital works and property sale calculations.

Share investors

Dividends, managed funds, ETFs, capital gains, employee shares and investment-related deductions.

Sole traders

Business income and expenses, home office costs, motor vehicles, equipment and GST considerations.

What's included

A complete review of your tax position.

Your return is reviewed in context, not treated as a basic data-entry exercise. I will identify missing information, explain anything unusual and make sure you understand the result before lodgement.

Salary, wages and allowances
Work-related deductions
Rental property schedules
Dividends and managed funds
Capital gains calculations
Sole trader business schedules
Foreign income considerations
Medicare levy and offsets
Prior-year amendments
ATO lodgement and correspondence

Common questions

Individual tax return FAQs.

Do you prepare straightforward individual tax returns?

Yes. I prepare straightforward salary and wage returns as well as more involved returns. The fee will depend on the complexity and the schedules required.

Can you help with rental properties and capital gains?

Yes. I can prepare rental property schedules and calculate capital gains on property, shares and other investments where adequate records are available.

Can you prepare overdue tax returns?

Yes. I can help bring overdue returns up to date and explain the steps involved before anything is lodged.

Do I need to visit your office?

No. I am based in Albany Creek, but the full process can be handled by phone, email and secure cloud-based systems for clients anywhere in Australia.

How much does an individual tax return cost?

Fees vary depending on complexity. A return involving investments, rental properties, business income or capital gains requires more work than a simple salary and wage return. I will confirm the scope and fee before proceeding.
