We assist with compliance with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regulations, helping you navigate tax laws and avoid penalties.

Whether managing personal finances or business matters, we provide practical advice tailored to your needs.

Our tax accountants in Mackay assist with both personal and business tax matters. We work with individuals, sole traders, partnerships, trusts, and companies across various industries. Whether you're an individual lodging a personal tax return or a business owner seeking help with compliance, budgeting, and tax planning, we can offer support. For individuals, we provide guidance on work-related expenses, investment income, and tax offsets. For businesses, we assist with GST, BAS, PAYG, and tax planning. Our aim is to simplify tax matters by offering clear advice and timely communication while tailoring financial strategies to your specific needs.

For your first tax appointment, bringing the necessary documents will help ensure a smooth consultation. For individuals, you'll need identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport), your Tax File Number (TFN), income statements or PAYG summaries, bank statements showing interest earned, records of any government payments, and receipts for work-related expenses, charity donations, and self-education costs. Additionally, include details on private health insurance, rental property income and expenses, and capital gains, if applicable. For business clients, we recommend bringing financial statements, bank reconciliations, payroll reports, prior year tax returns, and documents related to assets and liabilities. Having all relevant documentation helps us provide an accurate tax assessment and ensures you claim the appropriate deductions and credits.

The frequency of visits to a tax accountant varies depending on your individual or business needs. Most individuals typically meet with their accountant once a year for tax return preparation and lodgment. However, if you have multiple income sources, investment properties, or significant financial changes, more frequent visits may be beneficial. For businesses, particularly those registered for GST, quarterly or monthly consultations may be necessary to manage BAS lodgments, PAYG instalments, payroll, and monitor business performance. Regular consultations can also help with financial planning and ensure compliance with any updates in ATO regulations.

Our tax accountants in Mackay can assist with ATO correspondence and audits. If you receive a notice of review, audit, or request for additional information, we can help interpret ATO communications and provide guidance on how to respond accurately. We act on your behalf in liaising with the ATO, ensuring your rights are maintained, and responses are backed by the necessary documentation. If an audit is underway, we can help gather supporting documents, explain transactions, and manage deadlines. Our aim is to simplify the process and support compliance with all ATO requirements.

Yes, tax advice is tailored to your specific situation. We understand that no two financial situations are alike, so we take the time to learn about your individual or business goals, income sources, industry-specific regulations, and future plans. For individuals, this means assessing their employment situation, deductions, investments, and potential entitlements. For businesses, we look at your structure, cash flow, asset strategy, and tax planning opportunities. Our personalised approach helps ensure that you receive relevant, actionable advice that aligns with your unique circumstances. This approach helps ensure the advice provided is relevant to your circumstances, helping you manage tax liabilities and optimise after-tax income or profit while staying compliant with the law.

We understand the challenges faced by small business owners — from cash flow management and record-keeping to compliance and growth planning. Our tailored services include assistance with business setup, ABN registration, quarterly BAS lodgment, PAYG and superannuation obligations, and strategic tax planning. We also offer advice on structuring your business for optimal tax outcomes, budgeting effectively, and keeping your books in order. Whether you’re just starting out or have been operating for years, we provide the tools and advice to help you remain compliant, reduce unnecessary expenses, and set your business up for long-term success. We offer the support and advice needed to manage financial complexities and maintain compliance.

Tax planning involves analysing your current financial situation and applying strategies to manage future tax obligations in line with legal frameworks. For individuals, this might include prepaying deductible expenses, managing capital gains and losses, or making tax-effective superannuation contributions. For businesses, strategies may include restructuring operations, deferring income, accelerating deductions, or using small business tax concessions. The goal of tax planning is to create a forward-thinking approach that supports your long-term financial objectives, improves cash flow, and reduces tax liabilities. By reviewing your income, expenses, and financial structure, we help identify opportunities for managing tax and promoting financial stability.
