How it works for Geelong clients
Every step is done online by email and secure e-signature. A phone call is optional, not part of the process.
- 1You sign a free authority-to-act formA short electronic form that lets us speak to the ATO on your behalf. It is free, it is signed online, and it commits you to nothing.
- 2We pull your ATO recordsWe check exactly which years and activity statements are outstanding, and retrieve the income data the ATO already holds for each year. Missing payslips are usually not a problem.
- 3You get a fixed-fee quote before any work startsWe tell you the scope and the fee in writing. Nothing is prepared or lodged until you say go.
Who we help in Geelong
Salary and wage earners with several years overdue
Where a refund results, the ATO generally does not apply a failure to lodge penalty to individuals. See overdue individual tax returns.
Sole traders and ABN contractors with unlodged returns and BAS
Returns and activity statements are usually tangled together, so we sort both. See overdue sole trader tax returns and overdue BAS and GST.
Small companies behind on lodgements
Company returns, activity statements and any director exposure, handled in order. See overdue company tax returns.
Why online beats a local walk-in for catch-up work
- Your records come from the ATO portal, not a shoebox. For older years the ATO already holds the income data, so you do not need to hunt down paperwork before we can start.
- The fee is fixed and agreed upfront, in writing, before any work is done.
- No appointment needed. You are not waiting weeks for a slot, and you are not taking a day off work to sit in a reception area.
- A registered tax agent prepares and lodges the work, with lodgement access to the ATO on your behalf.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come to an office in Geelong?
No. TaxNudge is delivered online Australia-wide, so there is no office visit and no appointment. We send you a short authority-to-act form to sign electronically, then everything else happens by email. A phone call is available if you prefer to talk it through, but it is optional.
Can you lodge several years at once?
Yes. Multi-year catch-ups are the work we specialise in, and lodging the outstanding years together is usually the cleanest way to do it. We pull the ATO records for each year, prepare the returns in order, and lodge them as a set so your position is up to date rather than half-fixed.
What does it cost?
You get a fixed fee quoted in writing before any work begins, and it does not move unless the scope does. Individual returns start at $699 plus GST for sole traders, activity statements from $299 plus GST, and company work from $1,599 plus GST. Multi-year catch-ups attract a discount across the years lodged together.
Are you a registered tax agent?
Yes, registered tax agent, registered entity Outsourced Books & Advisory Pty Ltd. The registration can be checked on the Tax Practitioners Board public register under registration number 26188040.
