Tax information for businesses

The Australian Taxation Office's Business Essentials resources provide translated information to help small business owners understand their tax and legal obligations in Australia.

It covers topics such as lodging tax returns, PAYG instalments and withholding, record keeping, deductions and concessions, fuel tax credits, ride-sourcing, illicit alcohol, illegal phoenix activity, and support during financial hardship or natural disasters.

It also includes information about the Tax Integrity Centre, including how to make a tip-off, tax whistleblower protections, tip-off forms and privacy when reporting suspected tax evasion. The resources also cover GST obligations for small businesses, including registering for GST, business activity statements (BAS), GST on food and accommodation, cancelling GST registration, correcting BAS mistakes, and GST at settlement.

Links to the English version of the information are included in the community language pages.
