Your clients stay in the software they already use. Using something else? Ask us.
Lodging
Lodging the return
- You're a registered tax agent: the draft comes back to you to review and lodge under your own number.
- You're not a registered tax agent: we lodge under our number, 24702003 (check it on the TPB register). Your client signs the declaration before we lodge, and it reaches them through you.
What we need
What to send us
For each client: the year's bank statements, the accounting file or ledger, sales and purchase records, loan and asset details, last year's financial statements and tax return, and a note of anything new this year, such as a new asset, a new loan or a change of owner. Upload them through our client portal at my.dhan.com, all together if you can.
Questions
Questions firms ask about accounting and tax outsourcing
What does a business return cost?
$450 before GST if your firm is a registered tax agent, or $650 if it isn't. That covers a sole trader, partnership, family trust or company.
What does an individual return cost?
$75 before GST for registered tax agents, or $150 for other firms.
Why do firms that aren't tax agents pay more?
Because we lodge their returns under our own tax agent number, and the work and duties of a tax agent come with that.
Will you contact our clients?
No. Questions come to you, and the finished work comes back to you to sign off under your firm's name.
Do you handle tax file numbers?
Yes, under the rules every registered tax agent must follow. Our privacy policy explains how.
Do you prepare SMSF returns?
Not on this site. SMSF accounts are prepared at smsfoutsourcing.com.
