October 31 is the due date for either lodging your own tax return or contacting a registered tax agent. If you’re a small business and you lodge your business activity statement (or BAS) quarterly, just a reminder your October lodgement is nearly due.

You can lodge your personal income tax return online via myTax, or you can lodge through a registered tax agent. Once you’ve lodged, keep an eye on your myGov inbox for your Notice of Assessment.

There are a number ways you can lodge an income tax return for your business, and the choice you make may impact when it is due.
