If you or your clients have been affected by the recent NSW floods, we have a range of support options available to help you meet your obligations.
We encourage those who can lodge on time to do so, but where lodgment is not possible, clients or agents within the declared natural disaster area as per Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment (AGDRP)External Link will have until 26 June to lodge the following obligations:
- May monthly BAS with an original due date of 21 June
- Income tax returns for the 2023–24 income year for individuals and small businesses (including sole traders and trusts), with a current lodgment due date between 29 May and 26 June 2025
- individuals and small businesses (including sole traders and trusts) that may already have a lodgment deferral for the 2023–24 income tax return; or May activity statement lodgment obligation, may lodge up to 26 June.
You won’t be penalised for lodging these obligations by the later date. If you already have a deferral, it will remain in place.
These concessions automatically apply to agents and taxpayers identified as residing within the declared areas, only for those lodgments as listed above – so you don’t need to contact us for a deferral. There's an indicator on the accounts of affected clients, which you can identify by running an on-demand Outstanding Lodgment Report for either Income Tax or Activity Statements in Online services for agents, or through practice management software.
The payment due date for your obligations has not changed. General interest charge (GIC) will apply if payment is not made by the original payment due date.
If your client is not able to pay by the due date, contact us to discuss their options. We will take an empathetic approach to your situation.
