Running a Company? Your Tax Return Just Got Easier
If you operate a company in Australia—whether it’s a small consultancy, a growing e-commerce brand, or a family-run enterprise—you know tax time isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about compliance, accuracy, and protecting your bottom line.
What Is a Company Tax Return?
A company tax return is a legal requirement for any business registered as a company with ASIC. It reports:
- Income earned during the financial year
- Business expenses and tax deductions
- PAYG instalments and GST (if registered)
- Fringe benefits and capital gains
- Final tax payable or refundable
Unlike sole traders or partnerships, companies are taxed at a flat rate—currently 25% for base rate entities and 30% for others.
Who Needs to Lodge a Company Tax Return?
You must lodge a company tax return if your business is:
- Registered with ASIC as a company (Pty Ltd or Ltd)
- Actively trading or earning income
- Holding assets or investments
- Paying wages or issuing dividends
Even dormant companies may need to lodge a nil return to stay compliant.
What You Can Claim as a Company
Companies can claim a wide range of business expenses, including:
- Staff wages and superannuation
- Rent, utilities, and office supplies
- Marketing and advertising costs
- Professional services (legal, accounting, consulting)
- Depreciation on assets
- Motor vehicle expenses
- Insurance premiums
- Software subscriptions and tech tools
