Online tax returns for Australian tradies

Get your return done without booking time off

Everything happens remotely. You fill in a form, attach what you have, and a registered tax agent picks it up from there, checking the claims that actually apply to trade work before the return goes anywhere near the ATO. Nothing is lodged until we have spoken to you. Read more about the team and how we work.

You do not need to be in Victoria, take time off, or have every receipt in front of you before you start.

Two ways to lodge

Same team, same registered agent review, same lodgement either way. What separates them is simply whether your year needs a conversation.

How lodging online works

Most tradies finish the upload in one sitting.

1. Fill in the form. Your income for the year, the work expenses you want looked at, and how to reach you.
2. Attach what you have. Income statement, receipts, logbook: whatever you have kept goes up through the encrypted form.
3. We do the work. Your return is drafted and then checked against the deductions available to your trade.
4. We ring you. You hear the outcome and can ask whatever you like. It only goes to the ATO once you say so.

What to have ready

Start with whatever is to hand. A gap is not a reason to wait. We will come back and tell you precisely what is outstanding.

• Your PAYG income statement, and any ABN or subcontracting income
• Receipts for tools and equipment, including larger items bought in earlier years
• Protective clothing, boots and safety gear costs
• Vehicle records: logbook, kilometres, fuel and running costs
• Licences, tickets, union fees and any trade training
• Phone and internet bills, with a sense of the work-use share
• Any interest, dividends or side income earned during the year
• Your private health cover statement, where applicable

Sending your information safely

Your paperwork carries your income history and your TFN, so it is handled accordingly. The upload is encrypted end to end, it lands with our office rather than some outsourced platform, and your identifying details sit under the confidentiality rules a registered agent works to.

If you would rather not send something online, call 1800 819 692 and we will talk you through the options.
