If you use a registered tax agent, you may have be entitled to a longer lodgement deadline. Speak to your accountant for more information.

But, for the rest of us….

Paper Lodgement

If you are using the paper version of the “Tax Pack”, we recommend that you send it on Thursday to ensure that it gets to the ATO in time. Alternatively, you can drop it off in any ATO office lodgement box.

Here are the locations of the ATO shopfronts by state: -

Electronic Lodgement

If you are lodging online via e-tax, you can download the software here.

The e-tax lodgement software is quite straight-forward and easy to use. And, you will be given a summary of your expected tax payable or refundable before lodgement.

Unfortunately, the e-tax software is currently NOT compatible with MAC computers. You will have to either run emulation software or run e-tax on a friend’s PC.

Happy returns..! And until next year..!

Remember, the best way to minimise your tax is to plan ahead..!

See our guest post for Savings Guide for more info.

Cheers!
