* ‘Standard’ refers to a taxpayer with employment income (up to ten payment summaries) and simple deductions, but with no investment items such as share sales, dividends, managed funds, rental property etc. and no business income & expenses. These items will be quoted separately based on the number and complexity of transactions. There may be addition charges for complex deduction worksheets including car-related expenses, self-education claims, interest & dividend deductions, personal superannuation contributions and so on.
** There may be additional charges for bookkeeping, data compilation etc. depending on how the supporting information is supplied. The basic fee assumes all bookkeeping has been done and reports are provided in a standard accounting format.
*** This fee covers four quarterly BASs, the Individual Tax Return with Business Schedule, and any associated bookkeeping. The normal fee if charged for each item would be $750+.
EXAMPLES
John Q Citizen is a manager at a major supermarket chain. His only other income consists of bank interest and some dividends from a parcel of shares he inherited. John wants to claim a deduction for using his car for work travel as well as his uniform purchase and laundry costs and some other basic work-related expenses. John will pay the basic fee of $154 to have his individual tax return prepared and lodged.
Mary J Citizen is married to John and has similar income and deductions. If we complete John and Mary’s tax returns together, they will receive a couples discount and pay a total of $280.
David Carter is a middle-level manager in the Australian Public Service and he owns an investment property. David’s fee will be $154 for the basic tax return plus $132 for a standard rental property schedule. Additional charges may apply for setting up a rolling depreciation schedule for the first time.
Penny Taylor runs a cafe as a sole trader. She has an ABN, is registered for GST and is required to report quarterly. She keeps her own books. Penny will pay $154 for the basic tax return and $165 for a business schedule. Penny does not want the burden of preparing and lodging her Business Activity Statements so we do that on her behalf for $77 each quarter.
Vincent Wong sold one of his investment properties during the year and made a capital gain. He had a carried forward loss from a parcel of shares he sold in the previous year. We will work out the best way to claim any discount and offset his prior-year losses. Vincent will pay the basic real estate Capital Gain schedule fee of $132 in addition to his individual tax return fee.
Peter Boswell wants to amend last year’s tax return to include some deductions he had forgotten to include. As Peter is already a client of Quintilis, we will prepare and lodge his amendment at no charge.
