ATO's tips for small businesses to 'get it right'

  • keeping accurate and complete records, which will help taxpayers meet their tax and super obligations and make lodging easier; and
  • getting the right advice from trusted resources such as their registered tax professional or the ATO's website, which can help taxpayers navigate change and uncertainty at any stage of the business life cycle.
