Taxopia Company Tax Return Lite

Taxopia Lite Online DIY Company Income Tax Return

Welcome to Taxopia's unique online Do-it-yourself (DIY) company tax return preparation solution. We have designed this process to streamline and simplify the preparation of a company tax return and this has allowed us to offer the lowest cost method in Australia for meeting this obligation. This online company tax return solution is only $180 plus GST. It can be used by most Small Business Entities however we recommend it primarily for smaller micro-businesses only. If you have a larger business with potentially complex tax and financial issues, or you have a very limited understanding of the tax system, or you would like us to prepare and lodge your taxes for you, then we recommend you consider one of our other Company Tax Return packages.

Our Taxopia Lite process has two stages.

Stage one walks you through some basic eligibility questions to ensure the solution is suitable to the needs of your company. These eligibility questions have been professionally designed to maximise the range of companies that can use the service whilst minimising the complexity of the various elements of the return. Once you complete these questions the platform will automatically confirm your company eligibility and you will be presented with the option to proceed, enter your details and pay (you will not be charged until work actually commences). You do not need to enter any personal or company details during this stage. After completion, you will be directed to the next stage if you decide to proceed.

Stage two includes all of the questions and content needed to prepare the return. You will need to have your figures handy so that you can enter them where requested. Don't worry - you can save and resume/return to the questionnaire at a later stage if you can't complete it all at once (you have 30 days). You will need your company profit and loss figures (Excluding any GST effect if registered) for the year and some data about specific company asset and liability balances.

Once you have submitted this form, our professional accountants will commence preparing your tax return. Once done, we will email you the completed Tax Return and provide you with the instructions on what to do (you will need access to a printer) and where to post it. Therefore, with this option, you will be required to post the lodgement yourself and we do not act as your Tax Agent.
Note: This option is only for standard “Pty Ltd” companies.

Security This questionnaire operates within a highly secure encrypted SSL protocol environment. Accordingly, all data entered is treated with the highest level of security and confidentiality. This includes any credit card data transmitted. Taxopia security is regulated by the CPA, Tax Agents Board, ASIC and other Australian Privacy and Data Management Law. We uphold the highest standards.

* Please note that if you're paying via credit card, a surcharge of 2% will be applied to the total amount.

WARNING: As a precautionary measure against any unforeseen Internet disruption or power failure, we strongly suggest you complete the “Save and Resume Later” option whilst completing this form. Please be advised that we are not able to retrieve any partially completed forms. Thank you.

Once again thank you for using our service. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Melbourne Office on 1300 829 674 or email info@taxopia.com.au

However first and foremost, you need to indicate here if more than 50% of each job or contract the company does relates to the provision of labour, skill, knowledge or expertise (that is Personal Services Income).

(2) The company was required to provide the equipment and tools to complete the job and (3) The company was required to fix mistakes and rectify defects at its own cost. If you pass the results test the company is considered a "Personal Services Business" and the PSI rules will not apply.

Insert the amount of franked dividends paid during the year* $

"Franked" dividends paid are those that have a franking tax credit of 30% associated with the dividend.

Penalties apply if dividends are franked but there were not adequate franking credits available. It is generally advisable to try and pay franked dividends over unfranked dividends because the tax to the shareholder will be taxed less if they receive a franking credit.
