The Basics

What is a Company Tax Return?

A Company Tax Return (Form C) is an annual lodgement required by the ATO for all businesses operating as a Pty Ltd structure in Australia.

It reports taxable income, offsets, and credits to calculate the final tax liability. Unlike sole traders, companies are separate legal entities and pay a flat tax rate.

Annual Requirement

Must be lodged every financial year, reporting all income and expenses for the company.

Separate Legal Entity

The company is distinct from its directors. Profits belong to the company until distributed.

Flat Tax Rate

Currently 25% for base rate entities (turnover <$50m) or 30% for others.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the company tax rate for 2024/2025?

For 'base rate entities' (turnover under $50m and <80% passive income), the rate is 25%. For all other companies, it is 30%. Numberz automatically determines and applies the correct rate for your business based on your financial data.

Do I need to lodge if my company made a loss?

Yes, you must still lodge a return. This is crucial as it allows you to carry forward tax losses to offset future profits, reducing your tax bill in profitable years. We handle the tracking of these losses for you.

What about Directors' Fees and Wages?

We reconcile your PAYG withholding and Superannuation Guarantee obligations as part of the annual return process to ensure everything matches your STP reports. This prevents data mismatches with the ATO.

Can you handle Division 7A loans?

Absolutely. We automatically identify shareholder loans and help you prepare compliant loan agreements or calculate the minimum yearly repayment to avoid deemed dividends.

How long does it take?

Once we have your data, most company tax returns are drafted within 5-7 business days. After your review and digital signature, we lodge instantly with the ATO.
