The cost of a tax return depends on the complexity of your situation. Individual tax returns are generally straightforward, while sole trader, company or trust tax returns require more detailed reporting. At Aris Group, we provide transparent pricing tailored to your needs.

While individuals can lodge directly through the ATO, working with a registered tax accountant ensures your deductions are maximised and your tax return is compliant. A tax accountant can also identify strategies to reduce tax legally.

An individual tax return reports personal income such as wages, investment income or rental income. A business tax return reports business income and expenses for sole traders, companies or trusts. Business tax returns require accurate bookkeeping and financial reporting.

For individuals lodging themselves, tax returns are generally due by 31 October. If you use a registered tax agent, extended lodgement deadlines may apply. Company and trust tax return deadlines vary depending on structure and lodgement history.

Common documents include: • PAYG income statements • Business income records • Expense receipts • Bank statements • Dividend statements • Rental property statements • Superannuation contributions Keeping organised records throughout the year makes tax time much smoother.
