Why are you still paying this much?

Your accounting software does the work. Your fee should reflect that.

A partnership with reconciled books is a structured return and a profit split. Traditional firms still charge for it like a full advisory engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about partnership tax returns

How much does a partnership tax return cost?

$660 inc GST for a partnership with tidy records. Partnerships with employees or overdue years get a custom fixed-fee quote in writing before any work begins.

Do the partners still need personal returns?

Yes. The partnership return reports the business income and how it is split, then each partner declares their share on their personal return. We can prepare partner returns from $150 each so everything lines up. See our personal tax return service.

Does a partnership pay tax itself?

No. A partnership lodges a return but does not pay tax as an entity. Each partner pays tax on their share of the profit at their own rate.

How long does it take?

We aim to prepare most returns within five business days of onboarding, provided your accounts are reconciled. Turnaround varies with complexity.

What's the difference between a partnership and a company?

A partnership is two or more people sharing business income under an agreement, with profits taxed in their hands. A company is a separate legal entity with its own return and tax rate. Not sure what you have? Check your structure here.

Can you handle our BAS as well?

Yes. Quarterly BAS is $150 per lodgement. See our BAS lodgement service.
