Running a small business comes with plenty of moving parts—bookkeeping, payroll, customer service, and yes, tax time. But how much does it actually cost to get your small business tax return sorted? Let’s break it down in plain English, with zero jargon and a few handy tips along the way.
So, What’s the Typical Cost for a Small Business Tax Return?
Here’s the short answer: for most small businesses in Australia, a professional tax return can cost anywhere between $300 and $1,500+.
Why the big range? Because not all small businesses are built the same. Your costs depend on:
Business structure – Sole trader? Cheaper. Pty Ltd company? Bit more involved.
Transaction volume – More receipts and invoices = more time needed.
Bookkeeping health – If your records are neat and tidy, the job’s faster and cheaper.
Extra needs – BAS lodgements, business advice, or payroll? That’ll add a bit to the fee—but save you headaches in the long run.
At Future Advisory, we give you a straight-up quote based on your situation. No hidden fees. No surprise extras.
What’s Actually Included in the Fee?
You're not just paying for someone to hit “submit” on a form. A quality tax return service should include:
Preparation and lodgement of your return
Maximising business deductions
ATO compliance checks
Friendly advice to help reduce your tax next year
Optional extras like BAS or bookkeeping support
Think of it like getting your car serviced—it’s not just about the oil change, but making sure everything under the hood runs smoothly.
Is It Worth Paying for an Accountant?
Short answer: yep. Here’s why.
Time is money – Free up your evenings to run your business (or relax for once).
More tax deductions – A good accountant finds things you didn’t even know were deductible.
ATO protection – No more stressing about audits or missing paperwork.
Plus, we’ve seen plenty of cases where we save clients more in tax than they spend on our fee. That’s a solid return on investment, mate.
How Can You Reduce the Cost?
Want to keep your fees lean? Try this:
Use accounting software like Xero – it keeps things clean and fast.
Stay on top of receipts – A shoebox full of crumpled invoices won’t do you any favours.
Ask your accountant for tips throughout the year—not just in June.
And yes, we help with all of that too.
Final Thoughts: Let’s Make Tax Time Easy
Whether you're flipping burgers, laying bricks, or building an online empire, you shouldn’t have to wrestle with tax time. The right help means less stress, smarter deductions, and more time doing what you love.
