Key Dates
Using Aegis Business Accountants
If you use the services of a tax agent such as ourselves to prepare your income tax return or other required forms, we will advise you when these are to be lodged.
We work with you to establish when we require your information by; to ensure we lodge your return and forms on time.
Not using Aegis Business Accountants
If you don't have a tax agent, you should lodge according to the dates listed on the ATO website which we have also provided below.
If you cannot lodge by that date, phone the tax department on 13 28 66 as soon as possible.
Due dates that fall on public holidays
Where a due date falls on a day that is not a business day (that is, the due date is a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday), lodgement or payment may be made on the first business day after the due date without incurring a penalty or general interest charge.
A business day means a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day that is a public holiday. A public holiday is a day that is a public holiday for the whole of any state or territory in Australia.
Lodgement and/or payment will be due on the next business day for all taxpayers regardless of where the taxpayer is located.
If the due date falls on a public holiday, which is a public holiday for the whole of a state or territory, taxpayers in all states and territories may lodge and/or pay on the first business day regardless of whether they celebrate that public holiday in their own state or territory.
