With June 30 fast approaching we have produced another newsletter to make sure everyone is well prepared. Please note not everything will apply to all clients. It is designed for individuals and businesses.
Please note under ATO guidelines we cannot prepare any returns until the 15th July. But that aside the office is open as usual.
The team has continued to expand – we have Anthony, Jonah, Nicole and Shane to help process your returns this year.
As usual demand is high and appointments are filling fast, so please use all members of the team and get in early with making a time.
If you are feeling unwell or have flu or COVID symptoms? Please do not come in, and we will switch your appointment to a phone, zoom or teams meeting. We will do the same if any of the team are unwell.
Appointments can be made on (08) 82951055 or email reception
Do you need to print off a Group Certificate/Payment Summary or Private Health Insurance Details?
No – we will access any payment summaries or private health insurance from the ATO after the 15th July. This also means you do not need to access MY GOV before your appointment.
