More about Lodging Your Own Tax Return
When a business owner decides to lodge their own tax return, they should consider the following general points:
Determine the need to lodge
Ascertain whether the business is required to lodge a tax return for the relevant income year. This is obligatory for most businesses that operate within Australia.
Understand the due date
The FBT return is usually due 21 May, unless an extension is granted or a tax agent lodges on your behalf.
Choose the method of lodgement
Business owners can lodge their tax returns through various methods, including using myTax for sole traders, SBR-enabled software.
Calculate the taxable value
Work out the taxable value of each fringe benefit using the specific valuation rules provided by the ATO for each benefit category.
Sum the taxable values
Add up the taxable values of all fringe benefits provided to each employee to determine if their total taxable value exceeds the reporting threshold of $2,000.
Keep good records
Maintaining proper and complete records is essential, as it helps to substantiate claims made in the tax return. Records must be kept for at least five years.
Review the return
Double-check the tax return for accuracy before lodging. Even if using a tax agent, the business owner is ultimately responsible for the correctness of the information in the return.
Lodge on time
Ensure that the tax return is lodged prior to the due date to avoid any late lodgement penalties.
Understand obligations
Acknowledge the business owner’s responsibility for what’s reported in the tax return, even if assistance is used to prepare it.
Report RFBA
If the threshold is exceeded, calculate the employee’s reportable fringe benefits amount (RFBA) and report it through Single Touch Payroll or on the employee’s payment summary.
Seek help if needed
If in doubt, contact the ATO or consult a tax professional. Eligible business owners may also consider the ATO’s Tax Help program for free assistance.
Consider changes in law
Keep abreast of any tax law changes that may affect the business tax return for that income year.
