The lodgment program helps you manage your workload by allowing progressive lodgment of your clients' obligations over the 12-month period ending 30 June 2024.
You can access the Tax agent lodgment program or BAS agent lodgment program from our website. Check out the due dates by month for a snapshot of what's coming up.
What's new?
We've moved the lodgment due date for tax returns for taxable large and medium entities from 15 January 2024 to 31 January 2024. This includes the associated schedules and reports.
This date will be updated in our systems soon.
There is no change to the payment due date of 1 December 2023.
Tips to prepare for tax time
To prepare for tax time, we recommend you:
- update your client list to add new clients or remove those you no longer represent.
- check your clients' lodgment program due dates in Online services for agents
- lodge prior year tax returns to receive 2023 due dates. It can take up to 3 weeks for due dates to update in our systems after you lodge prior year returns, so there's no need to request a deferral in the meantime.
- advise us when a return is not required or if further returns are not necessary, so we can update our records.
If you or your practice are feeling overwhelmed or experiencing challenges beyond your control, we have a range of support options to help you get back on track.
Remember, the new lodgment deferral function in Online services for agents has made the lodgment deferral process easier!
