Tax returns for Aspley individuals and small businesses

Aspley is a busy part of Brisbane’s northside. It’s also home to employees, retirees, landlords and a wide range of small businesses. There are food outlets and retailers around Aspley Hypermarket, service businesses along Gympie Road and plenty of home-based businesses.

• Company, trust and partnership returns for small businesses

BAS lodgement for Aspley businesses

If your business is registered for GST, you’ll need to lodge a BAS. In most cases, small businesses lodge quarterly. According to the ATO, the quarterly BAS due dates are 28 October, 28 February, 28 April and 28 July. However, a registered tax or BAS agent may be able to give you extra time.

We prepare and lodge BAS for Aspley cafes, salons, retailers, health practitioners and other businesses. We also check GST, PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments, so your BAS lines up with your books. For a plain-English overview, read BAS explained.

Why use a tax agent for your Aspley tax return?

Many people lodge their own return, and that’s fine for simple situations. However, a registered tax agent can help when things get more complex. For example, you might have business income, a rental property or several income sources.

Timing matters too. The ATO says self-lodgers must lodge by 31 October. In contrast, registered tax agents generally have special lodgment schedules. To use that, you need to engage the agent before 31 October.

Our post on why use a tax agent explains the benefits in more detail.

Tax help for Aspley landlords and sole traders

Aspley has plenty of residential property, so rental returns are a big part of local tax work. The ATO says landlords must keep records, declare rental income and only claim eligible expenses. It also says a property must be rented, or genuinely available for rent, on commercial terms. See the ATO’s guide to residential rental properties.

Similarly, sole traders have their own questions. For instance, when should you register for GST? The ATO says you must register for GST once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 or more. Taxi and rideshare drivers must register regardless of turnover.
