If you’re running your business through a trust, then, you need to lodge trust tax returns in Australia. Each trust beneficiary is required to lodge their own tax return including individual tax returns and companies.
The assessable deductions of trust are chiefly determined by its potential net income or loss. Depending on the individual income scales every trustee must lodge a trust tax return. The ATO wants you to lodge your trustee tax return on or before the due date if possible. Contact us at Palladium Financial Group and our tax agents will ensure a smooth and hassle-free tax return lodgement for you.

A trust tax return reports the trust’s income, deductions, and distributions. Most Australian trusts are required to lodge a return every financial year, even if there is no taxable income.
The trustee of the trust, or an authorised representative, is legally responsible for lodging the tax return with the ATO and ensuring all income, deductions, and distributions are correctly reported.
Family trusts, unit trusts, hybrid trusts, and other managed trusts operating in Australia are required to lodge a tax return annually, regardless of whether the trust earns income or not.
For most trusts, the due date is 31 October each year. Using a registered tax agent may extend this deadline, depending on their lodgement arrangements with the ATO.
Late or non-lodgement of a trust tax return can attract ATO penalties and interest charges. Prompt lodging helps avoid compliance issues and potential additional costs for the trust.
While trustees can lodge themselves, a registered tax agent ensures compliance with ATO rules, correct reporting of income and deductions, and may optimise distributions to beneficiaries.
