Tax time made easier: toolkit now available

The toolkit is a handy set of guides, tools and information to help you get ready for tax time.

Published 3 June 2026

Our Tax Time toolkit for small business is now available to help you prepare, lodge and stay on track this tax time.

The toolkit is a practical, easy-to-use resource designed to keep informed and organised – not just at tax time, but throughout the year. Whether you're a sole trader or running a growing business, it makes it easier to find the information you need to stay on top of your tax obligations.

Inside, you’ll find a directory of links to essential information, tools, calculators and learning resources, helping you save time and make informed decisions.

The toolkit covers key topics such as:

  • home-based business expenses
  • motor vehicle expenses
  • travel expenses
  • digital product expenses
  • using business money and assets
  • pausing or permanently closing your business.

It also links to What’s new for small business, highlighting updates and changes relevant for the 2026 income year. This helps you quickly understand what’s changed, what to look out for, and how new or updated rules may affect your tax and super obligations.

Packed with practical guides and information, this is your go-to resource to help you lodge with confidence this tax time.
