We understand taxpayers across New South Wales and Queensland communities have been impacted by Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. We encourage you to continue to lodge your clients’ obligations if you can, however for those clients that have been directly affected in Local Government Areas (LGAs) declared eligible for the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRPExternal Link), we will provide additional time where you or your client are unable to lodge for the following obligations:
- Monthly BAS with an original due date of 21 March 2025 will have up to 11 April 2025 to lodge.
- Individual, Trust and Small Business income tax returns with an original due date of 31 March 2025 will have up to 11 April 2025 to lodge.
These measures are in addition to our normal range of support options available should you, your clients or your practice need additional help.
How do I know if a client can lodge late without penalty?
If we have made a provision for your client to lodge late without penalty, there will be an indicator on their account. This can be identified by running an On-Demand Outstanding Lodgment Report for either Income Tax or Activity Statements in Online services for agents, or through your practice management software.
Details for running On-Demand reports in Online services for agents and practitioner lodgment service (PLS) - enabled software are available on our website.
