2020 Tax Returns
We’ve already started 2020 tax work and have even lodged a few returns!
Send your tax info by myprosperity
As you already know we use myprosperity for sending, signing and storing important documents. myprosperity uses bank level data encryption to keep your data secure.
Your unique password protected account allows you to securely sign tax returns, terms of engagement and other documents. It also stores your documents for future access. This ensures you meet your substantiation requirements.
If you are sending tax information to us, please do so via myprosperity. You can upload scanned or photographed documents to the Docs section. And remember to email us once everything is there so that we can get started straight away!
Meet your obligations
Employers need to make sure they finalise their single touch payroll reporting by the due dates. Those dates are 31 July for those with 19 or less employees and 14 July for businesses employing more than 19 people.
For individuals make sure that your income statement says ‘tax ready’ in myGov before you send your info in. That means that it has been finalised by your employer and we are able to prepare your return.
If you are unsure what deductions you can claim in your return please get in touch.
If you want information about claiming home office expenses please see our blog post here. There is also information available on the ATO website here.
