We’re so much more than a tax agent. Working with your business all year round, we can help you with other essential services like bookkeeping and BAS lodgement. We’ll also help you transition as your business grows to ensure you’re always operating with tax efficiency.
We won’t just give you generic guidance and send you on your way. The two most important components of our business is our staff and clients, so we always put them first.
Whether it’s keeping clients informed of tax changes or spotting opportunities for growth for our clients, we’re always looking for ways to improve.
At the end of the day, we’re here to help you achieve financial goals - whatever they may be. We do this by getting to know you and your situation, then helping you in whatever way you need.
Everyone has a different definition of financial success. That’s why we really listen to our clients, so that every recommendation is aligned to your own unique goals.
As a sole trader, we will require information relevant to your personal tax and a schedule of source information for income and expenses for your business. All information will be lodged under your personal tax file number.
To discuss what information is required for lodgement, please contact us on 1800 618 800 or email us at admin@simmonslivingstone.com.au
We strive to have your return prepare within 2 weeks and electronic returns are normally processed within two weeks. Paper returns are processed manually, taking up to 10 weeks.
Once the ATO has processed your tax return, they will issue a notice of assessment telling you if you’re entitled to a refund or that you have a tax debt to pay.
If you have a myGov account linked to the ATO, your notice of assessment will be sent to your myGov Inbox. You will receive an email or SMS from myGov telling you when to check your myGov Inbox.
Sometimes, the ATO may take longer than the timeframes listed above to process returns. Returns can be delayed for a number of reasons. Some of the most common reasons are:
If your business records a loss, you can generally carry forward that loss and claim a deduction for your business in a future year. You may be able to offset your business losses against other types of assessable income for the same income year.
There are certain conditions in which must be followed. For further information and to discuss your circumstances, contact us on 1800 618 800 or email us at admin@simmonslivingstone.com.au
If you have been eligible to receive funds as part of the stimulus package, you will need to ensure these are included in your claim.
