Tax Planning & Compliance Services for the Hills District

Proactive tax planning and full ATO compliance for individuals and businesses across the Hills District.

What We Offer

Strategic Tax Planning - Pay Less, Keep More.

Most Australians pay more tax than they need to — not because of bad luck, but because nobody is asking the right questions before EOFY. EXP-ACC Accounting & Taxation Pty Ltd takes a proactive approach: identifying every legitimate deduction, reviewing your structure, and making sure you're fully compliant — every single year. Our tax planning, structuring, and return services are delivered in partnership with Platinum Accounting Australia Pty Ltd, Registered Tax Agent No. 26185952 — giving you the protection and accountability of a nationally accredited firm, with the personal, local service of EXP-ACC in the Hills District.

Tax Returns For Individuals & Businesses.

Whether you're an individual with a rental property and some shares, or a business owner running a company, trust , or partnership - EXP-ACC prepares and lodges your tax returns accurately and on time.

Individual Returns

We identify every deduction you're entitled to: home office, vehicles, investment property depreciation, income protection insurance, and more.

Business Returns

For businesses, we go beyond lodgement - reviewing your structure and identifying tax planning opportunities before each EOFY so there are no nasty surprises.

BAS Preparation & ATO Compliance - Never Miss a Deadline.

EXP-ACC manages your BAS preparation and lodgement as a registered BAS agent, ensuring your Business Activity Statements are accurate, compliant, and submitted on time - every quarter.

We manage your full compliance calendar: quarterly BAS, monthly IAS, PAYG withholding, and annual GST reconciliation. Late lodgements and ATO penalties are entirely avoidable, and with EXP-ACC managing the process, you'll never have to worry about missing a deadline again.

Proactive Tax Planning.

Most people visit their accountant once a year — after the financial year ends. By then, it's too late to change anything. EXP-ACC works with you throughout the year, identifying opportunities to reduce your tax before EOFY.

Bookkeeping FAQs

How much does it cost to have a tax return done by an Accountant?

Individual tax return fees at EXP-ACC depend on the complexity of your lodgment. We offer a free initial consultation to assess your situation and provide an accurate quote before you commit.

Do I need a tax agent or can I just use myGov?

If you have investment properties, a business, shares, or a trust structure, a registered tax agent will almost always find more deductions than the ATO's pre-fill data includes - typically saving you more than the fee.

When is the tax return deadline if I use a registered tax agent?

The standard ATO deadline for individuals lodging their own return is 31 October. If you lodge your tax returns through a registered tax agent licence, you may be eligible for an extended lodgement deadline - in many cases up to May the following year, depending on your scenario.

Who actually prepares and lodges my tax return?

All tax return preparation, review, and lodgement is carried out by Platinum Accounting Australia - a registered tax agent (TPB registration: 24683431) and CPA Public Practice. EXP-ACC manages your engagement locally and works directly with the Platinum team on your behalf. You'll sign your engagement brochure with Platinum directly.
