Tax Returns
Every company in Australia, including those just starting out or running at a loss, needs to file a Company Tax Return with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) each year. This return reports your company’s income, tax deductions and credits, and ultimately determines your company’s tax liability for the financial year. Even if you don’t owe any tax, filing a return is mandatory.
