Lodging your tax return

Tax returns cover the financial year from 1 July to 30 June, and if you’re lodging your own, they are due by the 31 October deadline.

Deadlines

Lodge your tax return by the 31 October deadline to avoid penalties.

If you are completing your own tax return and are unable to lodge by 31 October, contact us as soon as possible.

Most registered agents have special lodgment schedules and can lodge returns for clients later than the 31 October deadline. If you are using a registered agent, ensure you contact them before 31 October.

Note: If you’re having difficulties meeting your tax obligations, contact us as soon as possible.

If you missed the deadline

Even if the deadline has passed, it is important to lodge as soon as you can.

If you expect a tax bill, don’t delay lodging. If you are finding it hard to pay on time, it is important you contact us early. We will work with you to tailor a payment plan to your circumstances.
