We offer personal tax services tailored to meet your specific requirements, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and maximum value at every step. No matter how complex your tax situation, our personal tax management solutions are designed to simplify the process and bring you peace of mind.

Your individual tax return may need to bring together several types of income, deductions and transactions. Our team reviews the information and records you provide, identifies areas that need clarification and prepares the return based on your circumstances.

Salary, Wages and Other Income

We can help report salary and wages, allowances, bonuses, government payments and other income that may need to be included. Where you have changed employers or received corrected income statements, we review the available information and clarify any differences before lodgement.

Work-Related Expenses and Other Deductions

We review work-related expenses and other deductions supported by the records you provide. This may include eligible professional costs, education expenses, tools, equipment or working-from-home expenses, depending on the applicable rules and your circumstances.

Investment Income

Your personal tax return may need to include interest, dividends, managed fund distributions and share transactions. We review the relevant statements and transaction records so the income and associated tax components can be reported accurately.

Rental Property Income and Expenses

We can assist with reporting rental income and eligible property expenses using the ownership, loan and property records provided. Clients with more involved property tax matters can access our investment property tax support.

Capital Gains and Asset Sales

Selling shares, property, cryptocurrency or another CGT asset may create additional reporting requirements. We review the available acquisition, ownership and disposal records and identify where separate capital gains tax advice may be needed.

Cryptocurrency Transactions

We help report cryptocurrency disposals, exchanges, staking activity and other relevant transactions based on the available records. Clear transaction histories are important so the activity can be classified and reported correctly.

Choosing a personal tax accountant on the Gold Coast is about more than finding someone to lodge a form. You need accurate preparation, clear communication and confidence that your return reflects the information and records provided.

Registered Tax Agents

Our registered tax agents prepare and lodge individual returns with the ATO. We review the information provided, clarify issues before lodgement and explain the expected outcome before you approve the return.

Support for More Involved Personal Returns

We assist with returns that include multiple income sources, investments, rental properties, capital gains and cryptocurrency transactions. Where a matter requires more detailed specialist work, we explain the next step clearly.

Clear, Practical Communication

We provide a tailored information request, identify missing or inconsistent details and answer your questions in plain English. You will understand what is being reported and why before the return is lodged.

Local and Flexible Service

Grow Advisory Group supports clients across the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads. Appointments can be managed in person, by phone or online, depending on your needs.

Specialist Tax Support When Required

If preparing your return identifies a separate capital gains, investment property or tax-planning issue, our broader accounting team can provide the relevant specialist support without turning the annual return into a broader advisory engagement.

Individual Tax Return Support for More Than Salary and Wages

An individual tax return can involve more than one income statement and a few work-related expenses. Your reporting requirements may be more involved if you changed employers, earned investment or rental income, received managed fund distributions, sold assets or completed cryptocurrency transactions during the year.

Our individual tax return accountants identify the information needed for your circumstances, review the records you provide and clarify missing or inconsistent details before lodgement. This helps ensure your personal income tax return reflects the relevant income, deductions, offsets and transactions supported by your records.

We assist individual taxpayers with both straightforward and more complex returns. Sole traders and clients lodging returns for partnerships, trusts or companies can view our broader tax return services.

Our Individual Tax Return Services

Our individual tax return services cover the preparation, review and lodgement work needed to complete your return with confidence. We also assist where an earlier return needs to be checked or corrected.

We prepare your individual income tax return using the information and records you provide. Once the return is complete, we explain the expected outcome, answer your questions and arrange electronic approval before lodging it with the ATO.

Our accountants review supplied income details, deduction records and supporting documents for completeness and consistency. Where information is missing, unclear or does not match other records, we explain what is needed before the return can be finalised.

We help coordinate the information required for investment income, rental properties, managed funds, shares, cryptocurrency and asset sales. Where a matter needs more detailed review, we explain whether separate specialist tax support is required.

If income, deductions or other information was reported incorrectly in an earlier return, we can review the original lodgement, notice of assessment and supporting records.

An amendment may be appropriate where you have:

  • omitted income
  • missed a deduction that may have been available
  • reported an investment or asset transaction incorrectly
  • received corrected income information
  • identified another error after lodgement

Where the return remains within the applicable amendment period, our registered tax agents can help prepare and lodge the correction with the ATO. An amendment may result in additional tax, a credit or no change, depending on the circumstances.

Preparing your return may identify issues that would benefit from review before the next financial year-end. Where appropriate, we can discuss whether a separate engagement for tax planning services would be useful.

Personal Tax Return FAQs

It can be overwhelming to navigate the intricacies of your individual tax return, but we are here to simplify the process. At Grow Advisory Group, we make personal tax management stress-free, providing tax solutions that maximise your return while ensuring full compliance with ATO regulations. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you get started.

The information required depends on your income, deductions and transactions during the year. You may need income statements, bank interest and dividend records, managed fund statements, rental property documents, details of asset sales, cryptocurrency records and evidence supporting deductions.

We provide a tailored information request so you know what is relevant to your circumstances.

An individual tax return fee depends on the complexity of the return, the quality of the available records and the number of income sources or transactions involved.

A straightforward salary and wage return will generally require less work than one involving rental properties, investments, capital gains or cryptocurrency. We can discuss the likely scope and provide a fee estimate before commencing work.

Individuals lodging their own return generally need to lodge by 31 October. Registered tax agents may have access to later lodgement dates for eligible clients, but the deadline that applies depends on your circumstances and lodgement history.

Contact us early so we can confirm the relevant due date and allow enough time to prepare the return.

The ATO says most online tax returns are processed within two weeks, although some take longer where additional checks or manual processing are required. The status displayed in myGov may change during this period, and our explanation of ATO tax return processing statuses covers balancing account, information pending, under review and the other common updates.

We can prepare and lodge your return promptly once the required information is available. The final processing time is controlled by the ATO and cannot be guaranteed.

Yes. We can review a previous individual return where income, deductions or other information may have been reported incorrectly.

If an amendment remains available, we can prepare and lodge the correction. It may result in additional tax, a credit or no change.

Yes. Personal tax returns can be managed online or by phone, as well as through an in-person appointment where available.

The amount that can be claimed depends on your work arrangements, expenses and record keeping. We review the information provided and help apply the relevant tax treatment to your circumstances.
