Company Tax Returns Australia

Company tax returns in Australia

An Australian company is a separate legal entity and generally has its own tax return and reporting obligations. Company tax work can involve more detailed records than an individual return, particularly where the company has employees, GST registration, loans or other transactions.

What may be needed

Depending on the company, preparation may require financial records, bank statements, accounting reports, asset information, payroll information and details of transactions with directors or related parties.

Company income and deductions

The taxable result is calculated using the applicable Australian company tax rules. Not every accounting expense is automatically treated the same way for tax purposes, so reconciliation and review can be important.

Ongoing obligations

Companies may also have BAS, PAYG withholding, payroll and other reporting obligations. Keeping these processes organised can reduce the risk of missing a reporting deadline.
