A message from your accountant asking for one more document can feel like something has gone wrong. In our process, it is a planned step.

A common assumption is that once the online form is complete and the documents are uploaded, the return is finished. Any message after that must mean a mistake, a problem or bad news.

At Baron Tax & Accounting, every online tax return follows the same six steps:

Step 1: You complete the online tax return form.
Step 2: You upload any required supporting documents.
Step 3: Your tax return is reviewed by a Registered Tax Agent.
Step 4: If further information is needed, your assigned accountant contacts you for clarification or additional documents.
Step 5: Once the return has been fully reviewed, we send it to you for final approval and electronic signature.
Step 6: Once you approve and electronically sign the return, we lodge it with the ATO.

Step four sits between submitting the form and approving the return. That is where the review does its work, before anything goes to the ATO.

A question at review stage is easier to answer now, with your records at hand, than to sort out after lodgement.

Before you lodge, keep your records ready to send, so a clarification question can be answered quickly and in full.

October is a good time to stop putting off your tax return and get your records organised. 📋

If you’re planning to use a registered tax agent, getting in touch before 31 October gives you time to have your income, deductions and supporting documents reviewed properly.

Our tax return pricing starts from $57. The useful part is when you see it.

"From $57" marks where our pricing begins. The fee for your return depends on what it involves, so an individual return and a sole trader return will not always cost the same.

What makes the figure useful is timing. Baron Tax & Accounting sets out the fee before any work begins, so you know the cost of your return before you commit.

An upfront fee changes the order of things. You agree the cost first. Then your return is prepared and reviewed by a Registered Tax Agent before it is lodged with the ATO. Nothing new appears at the end.

One practical check before lodgement:

Before you send documents to any tax agent, Baron Tax & Accounting included, ask for the fee for your return in writing. This applies whether you are lodging an individual return, a sole trader return or a rental income return.

Ask for your fee first, then send your documents.

A reviewed ABN application sounds like a slower one.

It is a fair assumption. In most processes, one more person means one more wait.

In our process, the review happens before submission, and your ABN confirmation is usually issued within 24 hours.

You complete the online ABN registration form. Our accountant then reviews your application while it is still a form, before anything goes to the ATO.

We prepare and submit your ABN and GST registration with the ATO in the same step, so the GST question is handled at setup.

There is one case where it takes longer. If additional information is required, we contact you first, and that gap is settled before submission.

Your ABN confirmation is sent to your email. We also send guidance on how to report business income and your GST obligations.

That way, your first sole trader tax return starts from a clear footing.

You are allowed to tell your tax agent you are not sure. Before lodgement is the best time to say it.

Many people edit what they tell their accountant. Leaving out the missing receipt, the expense they are unsure about or the small side income can feel like admitting a mistake.

For PAYG employees, students and sole traders preparing a tax return, these are five things you are welcome to say:

"I don't know if this counts as a work-related expense."
Asking means it can be checked against the duties of your actual job.

"I used this for work and for personal things."
Mixed use is common, and the work share is easier to settle openly.

"I earned a bit on the side with my ABN."
Small or irregular side income still belongs in the conversation from the start, because it shapes how the return is prepared.

The hardest one to say: "I don't have the record for this one."
Raise it before lodgement, while there is still time to work out what can and cannot be supported.

"Can you explain why this was left out?"
Understanding your own return is part of the service.

Every return Baron Tax & Accounting prepares, online Australia-wide or in person at Rochedale South, is reviewed by a Registered Tax Agent before it reaches the ATO. That review is the natural place for each of these lines.

A common assumption at tax time is that there is only one right way to lodge a tax return.

Some Australians lodge their own return through myTax. Others prefer a Registered Tax Agent to review it before it reaches the ATO. Both approaches are reasonable.

DIY through myTax gives you full control and has no fee to use. It generally suits a confident PAYG earner with straightforward income, such as a salary, some bank interest and clean records.

A Registered Tax Agent reviews the return before lodgement. Income sources are confirmed, deductions are checked and errors are identified before anything is submitted.

At Baron Tax & Accounting, your assigned accountant will contact you if further information is needed. Once the return has been fully reviewed, it is sent to you for final approval and electronic signature before we lodge it with the ATO.

The choice often comes down to what your return actually contains. A salary-only return is a different situation from one with ABN income, shares or a rental property.

Neither option is universally right. It depends on complexity and how much review you want before lodgement.

Which approach do you use?

The return looked complete. It matched every document that turned up. The gap was in the parts of the year that never sent any paperwork at all.

The symptom usually appears late. The return has already been treated as salary only, and then a share sale, a crypto transaction or some foreign income comes up after the fact.

The cause sits earlier. The return was scoped from whatever documents happened to arrive, so any income without a payslip never prompted a question.

This is rarely carelessness. A small share sale, a single crypto swap, or income earned before arriving in Australia often does not feel like income, so it never gets mentioned.

The fix happens at one stage. Before preparation starts, go through each income type and answer yes or no to each one:

Salary and wages
Investment income and shares
Rental property income
Capital gains
Cryptocurrency transactions
Foreign income
Multiple income sources
Sole trader income, including freelancers and rideshare drivers

Which of these applied to your financial year, even once, or in a small amount?

A Registered Tax Agent review works best when the full year is named up front, before the return is prepared. Baron Tax & Accounting is a Brisbane firm, a CPA, Registered Tax Agent and ASIC Registered Agent since 2012.

The return looked simple. One employer, one income statement, nothing unusual.

The problem was never in the return itself. It started with the first sentence used to describe the year.

The symptom shows up late. Side income surfaces after the return has already been treated as salary only.

The cause sits earlier. The year was summarised as "I just have a job", so the ABN work from tutoring, delivery, cleaning, beauty work or rideshare was never part of the scope.

Nobody got the numbers wrong. The description was simply incomplete.

Small or occasional work still counts. On a tax return, sole trader income is its own category alongside salary and wages, even when the work feels minor.

The fix is a specific move at a specific stage. At the very first step, before any preparation begins, list every way money came in during the year, so the return is built as a multiple income return from day one.

Baron Tax & Accounting handles returns with multiple income sources, including sole trader income for freelancers and rideshare drivers, and identifies the right outcomes upfront, not after lodgement. A wage job plus ABN work is a normal scenario, not an exception.

One habit to keep: read your own description of the year back and ask whether it includes everything, not just the payslip.

Before your next return, check that your description of the year includes every income source.
