You can check your clients' income tax due dates in Online services for agents:
- from the Client summary screen
- by requesting the Income tax lodgment status report via On-demand reports.
If your clients have one or more prior year tax returns overdue as at 30 June, their current year tax return due date is 31 October.
If all overdue prior year returns are lodged by 31 October, the current year tax return will be due as per your lodgment program. The updated due date can take up to 3 weeks after 31 October to update.
Overdue prior year returns cannot be lodged on the next business day. They must be lodged by 31 October for your client's current year return to be covered by your lodgment program.
If you have clients who have been prosecuted for non-lodgment of prior year returns, then the current year tax return due date may have changed.
Lodgment and payment due dates may change if your client's circumstances change – for example, by the processing of a prior year amendment.
Updating your client list regularly will help your practice to manage client due dates.
