Don’t Risk a $1,650 Fine — Contact TaxAssist Accountants Before 31st October!
According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), more than 2 million people are yet to submit their 2024–2025 tax returns — and those who miss the deadline could receive a Failure to Lodge (FTL) penalty.
The fine starts at $330, increasing by $330 every 28 days until it reaches a maximum of $1,650. On top of that, late lodgements can attract interest charges on any unpaid tax or penalties.
There’s Good News: You Might Still Be Able to Get an Extension
If you’re running out of time, don’t panic — contact TaxAssist Accountants before 31st October and you may still be eligible for an extension.
When you appoint a registered TaxAssist Accountants tax agent before the deadline, we can often lodge your return well beyond 31st October under the tax agent lodgement program. That means more time, less stress, and no penalties.
“There’s a common myth that delaying lodgement gives you more time to pay — that’s not true,” warns ATO Assistant Commissioner Rob Thomson.
“The best way to avoid penalties is to lodge your return or appoint a registered tax agent before 31st October.”
