The Tax Office small business assistance program is a free and confidential service tailored to suit the needs of any business, no matter how small.
Visits are conducted by experienced tax officers at the business owner’s chosen location between 8am and 6pm on weekdays. Topics covered include registering for an ABN, paying GST, understanding tax obligations, record keeping and lodging activity statements.
The Tax Office can even help businesses set up programs such as eRecord and the Tax Office Business Portal – a fast, convenient and secure way to lodge activity statements, request refunds and communicate with the Tax Office online.
