Late Return

A client should file late tax returns before the ATO catches up with you and insists on penalties

By law you must file your tax returns by their due dates. If you do not, you may have to pay a late filing penalty. Late filing penalties apply to:

  • Income tax returns
  • GST returns
  • Residential land withholding tax
  • Foreign investment pie (portfolio investment entity) period returns

Review the information below:

  • When penalties apply: If you owe taxes and do not file a tax return or extension on time. You will incur different penalties. If you filed your return or extension on time, but do not pay the taxes you owe by the tax deadline.
  • When penalties generally don't apply: If you are expecting a refund and do not file a tax return on time.
