What this page is not intended to cover (1)

Late lodgement review

We review the relevant income years, income types, ATO correspondence and available records before confirming the scope of lodgement work.

Prior-year tax returns

Prior-year tax returns may require ATO prefill review, rental property schedules, foreign income records, CGT workpapers or amendment considerations.

ATO notices and penalties

We can assist with reviewing options where ATO notices, penalties or lodgement reminders are involved. We do not guarantee any particular ATO outcome.

Records and supporting documents

The records required depend on the tax years, income sources, residency status, rental property details and any CGT or ATO issues involved.

Documents we usually need

The exact records required depend on the facts, but commonly include ATO prefill information, prior-year notices, income statements, rental property records, foreign income records, CGT purchase and sale documents, and ATO correspondence where relevant.

How our engagement process works

We begin with an online enquiry and preliminary scoping review. If the matter is within scope, we confirm the proposed work, fixed fee where appropriate, onboarding steps and engagement terms before work commences.

Important limitations

We do not guarantee any particular ATO outcome, refund, amendment result, objection decision, penalty remission or residency conclusion. The final position depends on the facts, evidence and applicable Australian tax law.
