Registered Tax Accountants in Brisbane

A tax accountant manages your compliance obligations including income tax returns, BAS lodgements, PAYG, FBT, and CGT. Beyond compliance, a good tax accountant proactively identifies opportunities to minimise your tax liability and keeps you informed of ATO changes that affect your business throughout the year.

A tax agent is registered with the Tax Practitioners Board and is legally authorised to lodge tax returns and activity statements on your behalf. Empire Accountants are registered tax agents,  meaning we handle both the advice and the lodgment on your behalf.

At a minimum, quarterly, when your BAS is due. Businesses that get the most value from their accountant meet more regularly, with monthly or quarterly advisory sessions to review performance, manage cash flow, and plan for tax obligations.

Legal tax minimisation involves proactive planning before 30 June, including timing income and expenses, reviewing trust distributions, making superannuation contributions, assessing asset purchases, and ensuring your business structure is appropriate for your situation. This is a planned process, not a last-minute exercise. We work with Brisbane business owners throughout the year on this specifically.

Tax accounting fees vary depending on the complexity of your business structure, the number of entities involved, and whether you need bookkeeping, BAS, tax returns, or advisory services.

A registered tax agent can prepare and lodge income tax returns, provide tax advice, and handle the full range of ATO obligations. A BAS agent is registered specifically to prepare and lodge activity statements - BAS and IAS, but cannot lodge income tax returns or provide broader tax advice. Empire Accountants is registered as a tax agent, which covers both income tax and BAS lodgement, so you're working with a single team for all your ATO obligations rather than splitting responsibilities across providers.
