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. At EXP-ACC, we take a proactive approach: identifying every legitimate deduction, reviewing your structure, and making sure you're fully compliant — every single year.

All tax services, including the preparation, review, and lodgement of tax returns, are provided by Platinum Accounting Australia — a registered tax agent. Your engagement will be signed directly with Platinum, giving you the full protection and accountability of a nationally accredited firm, with the personal service of a local Hills District accountant.

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 works with Platinum Accounting Australia to prepare and lodge your tax returns accurately and on time.

Individual Returns

For individuals, 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. Because your return is lodged through Platinum Accounting Australia's registered tax agent licence, you may be eligible for an extended lodgement deadline - in many cases up to May the following year.

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.

Is my tax return covered by a registered tax agent?

Yes. Because all tax services are provided under Platinum Accounting Australia's registered tax agent licence, your returns carry the full compliance protection of a TPB-registered CPA Public Practice. You get the personal service of a local Hills District accountant with the accountability of a nationally accredited firm behind it.
