What you'll pay for a company tax return in Australia
Most Australian small companies pay between $1,580 and $4,500 for a full company tax return. The price depends on three things: annual turnover, whether the company is trading or dormant, and complexity (Division 7A loans, multi-entity groups, FBT, etc.).
We price every return up front and lodge directly with the ATO. As clients of a registered tax agent, you also get the extended lodgement deadline through to May the following year — no late penalties.

Company tax return cost — FAQs
How much does a company tax return cost in Australia?
Most small Australian companies pay between $1,580 and $4,500 for a full company tax return, depending on turnover and complexity. Non-trading companies start from $299 and bucket companies from $699. Our fixed-fee pricing means you know the cost before any work begins.
Is a company tax return fee tax deductible?
Yes — fees paid to a registered tax agent for preparing your company tax return are fully tax deductible in the year they are paid. That includes our preparation, lodgement and advisory call.
How long does a company tax return take to lodge?
Once we have your records (bank feeds, payroll, last year's return and any loan or director documents), most company returns are prepared and lodged within 7–14 business days. Complex multi-entity groups can take longer — we'll give you a clear timeline up front.
What documents do I need for a company tax return?
Bank statements or accounting file access (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks), payroll summary, asset purchases and disposals, loan statements, director loan account movements, prior-year return, and BAS lodgements for the year.
Can I lodge my own company tax return cheaper?
You can self-lodge via the ATO Business Portal, but you lose the extended tax-agent lodgement deadline (May the following year), and small errors on Division 7A, depreciation or franking can cost far more than the fee. Most small companies save money using a registered tax agent.
