Filing delays are rarely about tax law. They are about missing slips. Gather these four piles first and your return practically files itself.
The four piles
- Income records. Sales summaries, invoices issued, bank interest, any side income. Twelve months, no gaps.
- Expense proofs. Rent, suppliers, software, travel, home-office share — each with a receipt or statement.
- Payroll summaries. Wage totals, withholdings paid, contractor payments and year-end forms.
- Last year's return. Plus any letters from the tax office received since. Missing them causes half of all back-and-forth.
What happens next
Send photos or exports — perfection not required. We health-check the books, run the relief sweep, draft the return and walk you through it before anything is lodged. Most owners finish gathering in one evening; see how filing with us works.
Takeaway
Income, expenses, payroll, prior return. Gather once, file early, keep the proof where you can find it.
