6月30日前税务检查清单：悉尼个人与小生意必读. A practical year-end guide for individuals, sole traders, company directors and small businesses preparing for tax time.
In Australia, 30 June is the end of the financial year. Many tax records, income items, deductions, superannuation contributions and business transactions are assessed by reference to what has happened before midnight on 30 June.
This article is general information only and does not constitute personal tax advice. 税务情况因人而异. Before making tax, superannuation or business decisions, check official ATO guidance or speak with a registered tax agent who can consider your specific circumstances.
个人报税准备：先整理收入、扣税记录和投资资料。
Start with your income records. Check salary and wages, allowances, bank interest, dividends, managed fund distributions, foreign income, rental income and any side income. Many items pre-fill through myGov, but pre-fill data may not be complete early in July, so keep your own records and compare them before lodging.
A deduction generally needs a clear connection to earning your income, a record showing the expense, and a private-use adjustment if the item is partly personal. Common areas include uniforms, protective clothing, tools, registrations, education, union fees and work travel that is not ordinary commuting.
Avoid estimating expenses without records. The ATO may ask how a claim was calculated, so keep receipts, invoices, diaries, logbooks and notes. 中文提醒：不是所有上班相关支出都可以扣税，私人用途部分通常不能申报.
If you worked from home, review the ATO's current working from home deduction methods before lodging. Depending on the method used, you may need records of hours worked from home and separate evidence for expenses such as internet, phone, electricity, stationery or equipment depreciation.
Before 30 June, download rosters, timesheets, calendar entries or diary records while they are still easy to find. If your home office claim involves mixed private and work use, keep a reasonable basis for the apportionment.
Rental property owners should gather agent statements, loan interest summaries, council rates, strata levies, insurance, repairs, water bills and depreciation schedules. Separate repairs from capital improvements where possible, as the tax treatment can differ.
For shares, ETFs and managed funds, keep dividend statements, annual tax statements, buy and sell confirmations and brokerage reports. For crypto, export transaction histories from each wallet and exchange before access becomes messy. Capital gains tax calculations can be difficult where transfers, staking, swaps or foreign platforms are involved, so ask a registered tax agent if unsure.
If you plan to make personal super contributions, timing matters because the fund generally needs to receive the money before 30 June for it to relate to that year. Contribution caps and deduction rules can be complex, and a valid notice of intent may be required for personal deductible contributions.
Check your super fund records, employer contributions and any salary sacrifice arrangements. Do not rely on a same-day bank transfer close to 30 June unless your fund confirms timing. For personalised advice, check ATO and fund guidance or speak with a registered tax agent or financial adviser.

For small businesses, year-end planning starts with accurate bookkeeping. Review unpaid invoices, supplier bills, bank reconciliations, loan accounts, GST coding, payroll and super. If you are a sole trader, company director or family business owner, clean records make tax return and BAS preparation much smoother.
Before 30 June, check whether your BAS lodgements agree with your bookkeeping file. GST errors often come from mixed-use expenses, overseas subscriptions, motor vehicle costs, owner payments or incorrect coding of GST-free sales. Payroll records should also match STP reporting, payslips, super clearing house data and PAYG withholding accounts.

Business owners often ask whether buying equipment before 30 June will reduce tax. The answer depends on business use, timing, depreciation rules, eligibility, thresholds and cash flow. Do not buy assets only for tax reasons. First confirm the item is needed, affordable and properly documented.
Keep tax invoices, finance contracts, delivery dates and notes showing business use. For vehicles, equipment and technology with private use, record a reasonable business-use percentage. Where ATO instant asset write-off or depreciation rules may apply, check the current ATO guidance or speak with a registered tax agent before relying on any treatment.
Companies and trusts usually need more year-end review than a simple sole trader business. Check director loan accounts, shareholder payments, trust distributions, company loans, dividends, retained earnings and related-party transactions. For private companies, Division 7A issues may arise where shareholders or associates receive loans or payments, so get advice early.
Company directors should also confirm ASIC records, accounting files and tax registrations are current. Mandarin-speaking directors can contact our Mandarin tax agent Sydney team for bilingual support. 中文服务可以帮助您更清楚理解澳洲公司、信托和董事贷款的税务记录要求.
The safest approach is to organise records early and ask questions before year-end. A conservative, well-documented return is better than a rushed claim that cannot be explained later.

Should I see a tax agent before or after 30 June?
If you have business income, investment records, super contributions, rental property, crypto, company loans or uncertain deductions, before 30 June is often better because some timing issues cannot be fixed after year-end.
Can YSE Finance help with both individual tax returns and small business BAS?
Yes. We assist with individual tax return Sydney services, BAS, GST, bookkeeping and small business tax support.
Do I need receipts for every deduction?
You should keep records that support your claim. The exact evidence can depend on the deduction type, amount and ATO rules, so check official guidance or ask a registered tax agent.
