Question

An individual who is not an existing client approaches you in early November stating that the income tax return for the financial year has not been prepared or lodged. The individual is aware that tax agents can lodge later than the October 31 deadline so requests that you prepare and lodge the tax return to avoid penalties. What advice do you give this individual?

Answer 1

If the individual is aware that tax agents can lodge later than the October 31 deadline so requests that you prepare and lodge the tax return to avoid penalties, then you should advice this individual to make tax return for additional fee and complete all the procedures not later than 17th of April of the next year.
