Benefits

Why businesses lodge with Lodgeit.

Save time

Your first lodgment takes around 5 minutes; repeat lodgments are near-instant with saved mappings.

Lower costs

No subscription and no accountant's fees: you only pay when you lodge.

Work from anywhere

Cloud software you and your team can use any time, on any device.

Highest accuracy

Built-in validation checks your return against ATO requirements before you submit.

How it works

Three steps, one session.

  1. 01

    Connect your books

    Import from Xero, QuickBooks Online, MYOB or Excel, or enter figures manually. Map your accounts once and Lodgeit remembers them for next year.

  2. 02

    We prepare the return

    ATO prefill data fills in what the ATO already holds, and built-in calculators handle depreciation, hire purchase interest and borrowing costs. Every calculation is auditable.

  3. 03

    You review and lodge

    Automated checks flag issues before you submit. Lodge direct to the ATO via Standard Business Reporting with instant confirmation; your assessment comes back into Lodgeit for reconciliation.

Customer stories

Trusted by 5000+ companies.

Saved my small business thousands of $$

“I had a tax accountant that kept increasing the price of my annual tax return by 50% every year. Then I discovered LodgeiT and fired my accountant. (I’m pretty sure they were just using LodgeIt anyway). LodgeiT’s support videos are great and their Xero integration is as smooth as butter…I could easily import my Xero financials and update them as needed.”
