Maximise Your Refund. Minimise the Stress.

At Y&S Accounting Brisbane, we specialise in preparing and lodging tax returns for individuals, sole traders, and small businesses across Australia.  Whether you're an employee, freelancer, investor, or business owner, our team of experienced accountants ensures your return is accurate, compliant, and optimised for the best possible outcome.

Who We Help

Employees & Contractors

Maximise your work-related deductions and get the most from your return.

International Students & Temporary Residents

We’ll help you navigate Australian tax rules and claim your rightful refund.

Sole Traders & Small Business Owners

Accurate business reporting, GST handling, and deduction optimisation.

Property Investors & High-Income Earners

Strategic tax planning including depreciation, CGT, and Division 293 support.

What’s Included in Our Tax Return Service

Comprehensive Income Review

We start by carefully reviewing all your sources of income to ensure complete and accurate reporting. This includes salary and wages, contractor or ABN income, rental income (including Airbnb and investment properties), dividends, capital gains, foreign income, and any government payments such as Centrelink. Our goal is to ensure nothing is missed, reducing the risk of ATO penalties while maximising your eligible refunds.

Identification of Eligible Deductions & Tax Offsets

Our accountants will identify every deduction and tax offset you’re entitled to claim. From work-related expenses such as uniforms, tools, and home office costs, to self-education, travel, charitable donations, and prior-year tax agent fees — we ensure your return reflects every allowable claim. We also apply relevant offsets like the Low Income Tax Offset, Foreign Tax Offset, or the Small Business Tax Offset to further reduce your tax payable.

Accurate Preparation & Electronic Lodgement

Once we’ve gathered your information and supporting documents, we prepare your tax return using professional, ATO-compliant software. Our team double-checks the figures for accuracy and compliance before electronically lodging your return with the Australian Taxation Office. This process ensures faster processing times and minimises delays or errors.

Review of Prior Year Tax Returns

If you need help with previous tax years, we can review, amend, and lodge past returns. Whether you’re catching up after a break or correcting mistakes from earlier years, we’ll ensure you’re back on track and fully compliant. We can also identify missed deductions or inconsistencies that may result in additional refunds or reduced liabilities.

Tax Advice & Refund Estimate

Before finalising your return, we provide a clear explanation of your tax outcome, including an estimate of your refund or any amount payable. You’ll receive practical advice tailored to your financial situation, including guidance on PAYG instalments, how to improve your tax position next year, or how major life events (like property sales or starting a business) may affect your obligations.

ATO Support After Lodgement

Our service doesn’t stop at lodgement. We’ll monitor the progress of your tax return and follow up with the ATO if needed. If you receive audit letters, data-matching queries, or requests for more information, we’re here to support and represent you. We also help interpret your Notice of Assessment and can assist with any necessary amendments after submission.

How Our Tax Return Process Works – Step by Step

1. Book your appointment

Start by booking a consultation at your convenience. You can choose between a face-to-face meeting at our Brisbane office, a video call, or a phone appointment. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive an email with instructions and a checklist of documents to prepare.

2. Meet With One of Our Accountants

During your appointment, we’ll go through your income details, deductions, and any other relevant information. Our accountant will ask questions to understand your situation and ensure we capture everything that impacts your tax return — from work-related expenses to rental properties, foreign income, or business activities.

3. Preparation & Review

After the appointment, we’ll prepare your tax return based on the information provided. Every return is reviewed for accuracy and compliance with ATO regulations. We aim to ensure your refund is maximised and your obligations are met.

4. Your Approval & Signature

Once the return is ready, we’ll send it to you for review along with a summary of your tax position and our invoice. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, make changes if needed, and sign the return electronically once you're satisfied.

5. Lodgement With the ATO

After you’ve approved and signed your return, we lodge it directly with the Australian Taxation Office. Most returns are processed within 7–14 business days, depending on ATO workloads.

6. Ongoing Support

Even after your return is lodged, we’re here to help. We’ll monitor the status of your refund and assist with any ATO enquiries, amendments, or follow-up questions you may receive.

Choosing the Right Business Structure

Your business structure affects everything—from how much tax you pay to your personal liability and ability to raise capital. We help you understand the pros and cons of each option:

Sole Trader: Simple and cost-effective, but with less asset protection.

Company: Great for growth and credibility, with lower tax rates—but more compliance.

Trust: Offers flexibility and asset protection, ideal for family-run businesses and long-term tax planning. We’ll guide you through the decision with clear advice tailored to your goals, risk tolerance, and future plans. And if you're already trading under one structure, we can help you assess whether it’s time to switch.

Cash Flow and Budgeting Support

Poor cash flow is one of the top reasons small businesses fail. We help you:

- Understand your income and expense cycles
- Forecast your cash needs for upcoming months
- Identify areas where you can improve margins or reduce waste
- Set up easy-to-follow budgets with tools like Xero

We’ll help you stop flying blind and start making confident, data-backed decisions. You’ll know exactly what’s coming in, what’s going out, and when.

Tax Planning Strategies

- Prepaying expenses
- Strategic use of super contributions
- Structuring your income efficiently
