Annual Tax Compliance Checklist


Business Information

Bank & Credit Card Statements

We need your business bank & credit card statements to tie the bank account balance in your accounting software back to what the balance in the statement is. It helps us confirm accuracy and completeness of the file. 

Please provide statements (or screenshots if statements are not available) of ALL business bank and credit card accounts at the 30th of June. Please ensure you include savings accounts, term deposits, loan accounts etc.

Accounts Receivable & Payable

Please review your Accounts Receivable (Debtors) and  Accounts Payable (Creditors) and let us know if anything is old and can be written off. For those of you who pay tax and/or GST on an accruals basis, this will have a direct impact on your Taxable Income and/or GST liability.

If you don't know how to check this, please reach out to your accountant.


Stock & Work in Progress (WIP)

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are more expensive purchases, so we typically need copies of the invoices. 

Fixed assets can include any of the following (please provide an invoice if the purchase amount is greater than $10,000):

  • Motor Vehcles

  • Plant & Equipment

  • Office Equipment

GST

As a part of the preparation of your accounts, we will reconcile your GST liability to make sure you have paid/claimed the correct amount. In some cases, we will need to adjust specific transactions that will create a GST adjustment. 

If there is a GST discrepancy, we would suggest amending the final June BAS (or other most logical).

Please note that we will charge an additional fee to prepare and lodge the BAS amendment.


Loans

If you have loans in your business (this includes finance facilities on motor vehicles or other fixed assets), it is important that we ensure the balances are correct each year.

These loans may be from the bank, from short-term finance providers (Paypal, Tyro etc) or from equipment leasing and financing suppliers.
