Company Tax Return Edithvale – welcome to MAS Tax Accountants Melbourne head office
When you decide to operate your business as a company, then you are liable to lodge
an annual company tax return showing your taxable income and the amount of tax due
on that income.
Methods of keeping your accounting records
Generally, you can choose accrual or cash method to keep accounting record for your
business. When you are using accrual method, you can claim most expenses incurred in

using the cash method, you can claim the deductions in the year you actually pay for
these expenses, rather than in the year these expenses were incurred.
