We're almost two months into the new financial year, but it's not long until the deadlines for lodging a tax return start to roll in. The majority of taxpayers can now lodge their tax return as more than 80 million pieces of information are available in pre-fill. While having this data ready to go cuts down time, taxpayers still need to check that their details are accurate and ensure any other information that hasn’t been pre-filled, is manually added. For example, income from rentals, side hustles and the Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment from Services Australia, will need to be manually added. October 31 is the usual deadline to lodge, however, those who engage with a registered tax agent may be able lodge after this deadline through the tax agent lodgment program. Contact a registered tax agent before the deadline to find out more.
