Don’t miss the 31 October tax return deadline

Small businesses who carried on a business (as an individual) during the 2025–26 financial year and lodge their own tax return must lodge by 31 October, even if their business made a loss.

Before lodging, make sure to include all assessable income, claim eligible deductions and kept records to support their claims.

Client-to-agent linking is expanding to individuals and sole traders
The ATO is expanding client-to-agent linking to individuals and sole traders when they engage a new registered tax or BAS agent or change the authorisations provided to an existing agent.

Client-to-agent linking is an important security measure that ensures only authorised agents can access your tax information. It reduces the risk of identity-related fraud and gives clients greater control over who can access their tax records.

A pilot program is expected to start from March 2027, with full implementation planned for November 2027.

Your quarter 1 BAS is due 28 October

If you've received a BAS, remember to lodge and pay on time.

If you have no business activity to report for this quarter, then you can lodge a nil BAS. This helps keep your obligations up to date.

You can lodge online anytime (ato.gov.au/online-services), and if you’re a sole trader you can also use the ATO app to manage your tax obligations and receive notifications.

If you have a nil BAS, you can also lodge it by calling 13 72 26 and using the ATO’s automated phone service. Make sure you have your BAS document identification number (DIN) ready when you call.

Need extra support? You can build your GST knowledge by registering for an ATO GST masterclass. You can also speak to a registered tax or BAS agent.

'Energy efficiency and electrification in SMEs'

Small businesses are invited to contribute to a national research project exploring the realities of energy efficiency and electrification.

Researchers from the Curtin Institute for Energy Transition, supported by Energy Consumers Australia, are seeking input from businesses in manufacturing, hospitality, tourism and retail to better understand the opportunities and challenges associated with managing energy costs and transitioning to electric technologies.

The findings will help inform policy and advocacy aimed at reducing energy costs for small businesses.

Participation involves a short 15-minute online interview.

Interested? Contact Dr Julian Clifton at [email protected] or Dr Maureen Boyle at [email protected] to learn more.
