Why Reservoir Locals Work With Professional Accountants

Many people assume tax returns are simple — until they realise how much they’re missing out on or how easily errors can attract ATO scrutiny. That’s where expert advice comes in.

Here’s what Reservoir clients often need help with:

• Claiming the right deductions without crossing any lines
  
• Structuring a new business or side hustle correctly
  
• Managing income from multiple jobs or contracts
  
• Dealing with ATO letters or overdue lodgements
  
• Lodging BAS and understanding GST thresholds
  
• Navigating investment property tax treatment
  

Common Questions From Our Reservoir Clients

Can an accountant help me get a bigger tax refund?
Yes — especially if you have deductions like car expenses, work equipment, education, or home office use. An accountant ensures you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to, correctly.

I just started a business, do I need to register for GST?
You must register once your turnover hits $75,000. It’s important to track this early and make the right call for your business structure and future plans.

How are investment properties taxed?
You need to report rental income and can claim expenses like interest, depreciation, insurance, and maintenance. We help ensure it’s done properly.

What if I’ve missed previous tax returns?
We assist with catch-up lodgements and communicating with the ATO to minimise penalties or stress.

Are accounting fees tax-deductible?
Yes. Fees paid to manage your tax affairs are deductible in the following financial year.

Can you help with sole trader tax?
Absolutely. Sole traders in Reservoir often come to us for help understanding deductions, business expenses, and setting up systems that keep them ATO-compliant.
