Tax Return & Tax Agents in Donnybrook

Tax returns for Donnybrook homes and businesses

Donnybrook is growing fast, and so is the paperwork that comes with it. New homes mean first mortgages, new jobs and new deductions. New businesses mean GST, invoices and quarterly obligations that did not exist a year ago. Wherever you sit on that spectrum, we prepare your tax return properly and lodge it with the ATO on your behalf.

For individuals, that means going through your year carefully. Your occupation, your work from home hours, your car use, your private health cover and anything you earn on the side. We claim what you are entitled to, explain the result before anything is lodged, and most refunds arrive from the ATO within two weeks.

For businesses, we look after the whole picture. BAS, company and trust returns, bookkeeping and year-end financials, prepared by a team that works with Australian small businesses every day. One call, and this year's tax is handled.

Starting out? Get your structure right

The structure you choose on day one follows you for years. Sole trader, partnership, company or trust, each one changes how much tax you pay, what happens if something goes wrong, and how easily you can bring in a partner or investor later. Plenty of Donnybrook business owners come to us after picking a structure from a quick internet search, and unwinding the wrong one costs far more than setting up the right one.

Sit down with us before you register anything. We look at what you plan to earn, whether you have family to share income with, what you are risking personally, and where you want the business to be in five years. Then we recommend a structure in plain language, set it up for you, and register your ABN, GST and PAYG so you can start trading with everything in place.

Payroll and STP without the paperwork

The moment you hire your first employee, the ATO expects Single Touch Payroll reporting on every pay run. Add superannuation deadlines, leave balances, PAYG withholding and award rates, and payroll quietly becomes a second job you never applied for.

We take it off your desk. Your pay runs are processed on time, payslips go out automatically, STP reports reach the ATO with every cycle, and super is calculated and paid before the quarterly cutoff. Miss that cutoff on your own and the ATO removes the tax deduction and adds penalties, so this is one deadline worth outsourcing.

We run payroll through modern cloud accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB, which means you can see wages, super and leave balances any time without touching a spreadsheet. Whether you employ one apprentice or a team of twenty, your people get paid right and you stay compliant without thinking about it.

Registered, trusted and highly rated

Anyone can call themselves a tax expert. What matters is who stands behind your return when the ATO looks at it. RPS Accountants is led by founder and principal Ravinder Paul Singh, a Chartered Accountant and registered tax agent with extensive experience across personal and corporate accounting.

That registration is your protection. Only a registered tax agent can legally charge to prepare and lodge your return, and every return we lodge carries our agent number and our accountability. It is also why Donnybrook clients stay with us year after year and send their family and workmates our way.

How do we work with you?

No jargon, no mystery. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to your lodged return.

We talk, free of charge

Your first consultation costs nothing. Tell us about your work, your business or the ATO letter sitting on your bench, and we tell you honestly how we can help and what it will cost. It only takes a few minutes to book.

We prepare everything with you

In person, over the phone or by video, we go through your income and deductions line by line. Missing a receipt or a payment summary? We can pull most of your records straight from the ATO while you are with us.

You approve, we lodge

Nothing goes to the ATO until you have seen the result and given the nod. We lodge electronically, send you a copy for your records, and let you know as soon as your refund or assessment comes through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a session, online or on-site?

Both. Come and see us at 136 Gateway Boulevard in Epping, a short drive down the Hume from Donnybrook with parking at the door, or book a phone or video session and sort your tax without leaving home. Booking only takes a few minutes, and same week appointments are usually available. Call 1300 110 120 and we will find a time that suits you.

What documents do I need to bring along?

Bring photo ID, your bank details for the refund, and anything that supports your income and claims. Think work expense receipts, private health statements, bank interest, dividend or crypto records, and rental statements if you own an investment property. Business owners should add their bookkeeping file or bank statements. If something is missing, come anyway. As registered tax agents we can access most of your income records directly from the ATO during your appointment.
