Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding our appointment scheduling, document requirements, and lodgement process.
What happens if I haven't lodged for several years?
The ATO can apply failure to lodge (FTL) penalties. As registered tax agents, we can request formal penalty remissions under Section 298-20 and establish structured payment plans once returns are lodged.
Can you retrieve my missing past payment summaries?
Yes. We access the ATO Tax Agent Portal to retrieve past group certificates, interest records, share dividends, and government payments going back over a decade.
Will the ATO take legal action if I come forward voluntarily?
Voluntary lodgement before the ATO initiates formal audit or prosecution action substantially increases the likelihood of full penalty and interest remission.
