2024 Oct lodgment program

Final date to add new clients to your client list to ensure their 2024 tax return is covered by the lodgment program.

Note: The lodgment program is a concession to registered agents. We can ask for documents to be lodged earlier than the lodgment program due dates.

Lodge tax returns for all entities if one or more prior year returns were outstanding as at 30 June 2024.

Note:

  • This means all prior year returns must be lodged, not just the immediate prior year.
  • If all outstanding prior year returns have been lodged by 31 October 2024, the lodgment program due dates will apply to the 2024 tax return.
  • SMSFs in this category must lodge their complete Self-managed superannuation fund annual return by this date.
