FAQ
Tax review questions, answered
What is an income tax return review?
A qualified second look at returns that have already been lodged — yours or your business’s — checking for errors, missed deductions, incorrect treatments and opportunities the original preparer did not take. If we find something material, an amendment can usually recover it.
How far back can a tax return be amended?
Generally two years from your notice of assessment for individuals and small businesses, and four years for more complex taxpayers — so recent years are always worth reviewing while the window is open. Outside those windows options narrow quickly, which is why we suggest a review sooner rather than someday.
What do reviews most commonly find?
Missed depreciation on rental properties, work-related and home-office deductions left unclaimed, capital gains calculated without the full cost base, small business concessions not applied, and income averaging or offsets missed. Sometimes the finding runs the other way — an error that is safer corrected voluntarily than discovered by the ATO.
What does a review cost?
A fixed fee quoted up front based on the years and complexity involved. If a review of a straightforward return finds nothing, it is a modest cost for certainty; where amendments recover refunds, the review typically pays for itself several times over.
