Frequently Answered Questions
Corporate income tax (CIT) is a tax on the profits of companies. In Australia, the CIT rate is 30% for most companies. However, there are deductions and exemptions that can reduce the amount of CIT that a company owes.
The CIT return for a company is due on the 15th day of the seventh month following the end of the company’s income year. For example, if a company’s income year ends on 31 December 2023, the CIT return is due on 15 July 2024.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) may charge you a failure to lodge penalty if you do not lodge your return on time, even if you have been granted an extension. The amount of the penalty will depend on how late you are and whether you have a reasonable excuse for not filing your return on time.
The consequences of not filing your profit tax return on time in Australia are as follows:
Failure to lodge penalty: The ATO may charge you a failure to lodge penalty if you do not lodge your return on time, even if you have been granted an extension. The amount of the penalty will depend on how late you are and whether you have a reasonable excuse for not filing your return on time.
Interest: You will also be liable to pay interest on any outstanding tax liability. The interest rate is currently 8% per annum.
Penalties for late payment: If you do not pay your tax liability on time, you may also be subject to penalties for late payment. The amount of the penalty will depend on how late you are.
Criminal prosecution: In some cases, failing to file your tax return on time may be considered a criminal offence. If you are convicted of a criminal offence, you could face a fine of up to $220,000 or imprisonment for up to 5 years.
The penalties for late filing of tax returns in Australia are outlined in Section 262 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997).
The specific penalties that you may be subject to will depend on the circumstances.
