Returns prepared as a group, not in isolation

Most of our business clients run more than one entity – a company, a family trust, sometimes an SMSF and the individuals behind them. We prepare them together so income, distributions and franking are handled consistently and nothing is taxed twice or missed between returns. Prepared in isolation, the same set of entities can easily produce a worse tax result for no good reason.

What goes into your business return

A business return is more than a form. Before it’s lodged we prepare your year-end financial statements, reconcile the accounts, and work through the items that move real money:

Getting these right is most of the value in a business return – and most of where a rushed job goes wrong.

The return is the last step, not the only one

By the time a return is lodged, the year is done. The value is in the planning before 30 June – timing, distributions and structure. We do that work with you during the year, then prepare the returns after year-end so there are no surprises and no scramble.

Trusts, distributions and the 30 June deadline

If you operate through a trust, the distribution decisions have to be documented before 30 June – not worked out months later at tax time. Miss it and the trust can be taxed at the top rate on income that should have flowed to beneficiaries. We make sure the resolutions are done properly and on time, every year.

Common questions

Do you handle company, trust and partnership returns?
Yes – all business structures, plus the individuals connected to them, prepared together.
When should the return be lodged?
Through a tax agent you generally have until the following May; we manage the timetable so you’re never late.
Can you do tax planning too?
Yes – that’s where the value is. We plan before 30 June, then prepare the return after year-end.
What happens if I miss a trust distribution resolution?
The trust can be taxed at the top marginal rate on that income. We make sure the resolutions are done before 30 June so it doesn’t happen.
We’re behind on prior years – can you help?
Yes – catching up overdue returns is a normal first step, and we get you back in the clear.

I've been with Chris and the QC Accountants team for years and couldn't recommend them more highly. Chris has been there through every stage of our business growth, always providing practical advice and exceptional service. He's responsive, honest, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed. It's rare to find an accountant you completely trust, but Chris has earned that trust many times over. Thanks again mate.
