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.
Maximise your work-related deductions and get the most from your return.
We’ll help you navigate Australian tax rules and claim your rightful refund.
Accurate business reporting, GST handling, and deduction optimisation.
Strategic tax planning including depreciation, CGT, and Division 293 support.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

At Y&S Accounting Brisbane, we don’t just lodge your tax return—we help you plan for it. Our tailored tax planning services are designed to help individuals and small business owners reduce their tax liability, stay compliant with the ATO, and make smarter financial decisions all year round.
ax planning is the process of analysing your financial situation or business structure to ensure all elements work together to allow you to pay the lowest amount of tax legally possible. It goes beyond compliance—it's a proactive strategy that saves money and builds wealth.
If you're self-employed or contracting, you’re likely paying more tax than necessary. We help you structure your income, claim all allowable deductions, and manage your quarterly PAYG instalments so you’re never caught off guard.
From reviewing your business structure to managing director salaries, super contributions, and trust distributions, we ensure your setup is aligned with your goals. Tax planning is essential to preserve profits, boost cash flow, and reduce end-of-year tax surprises.
Own one or more investment properties? Our expert guidance helps you optimise rental deductions, depreciation schedules, and capital gains tax (CGT) planning—especially if you’re planning to sell or renovate.
If your income exceeds $120,000 per year, you're likely impacted by Medicare Levy Surcharge, Division 293 tax, or trust distribution complexities. We’ll work with you to explore tax-effective investments, salary packaging, and super strategies.
Excellent advice and service. They processed my tax return and Superannuation claim once I left Australia. Even with difficulties due to the different name appearing on my passport/visa, they worked with dedication to get it done.
The earlier you plan, the more you save. Don’t leave your tax to chance—partner with Y&S Accounting Brisbane for smart, strategic, and stress-free tax planning.
