Registered Tax Agent in Perth
Tax returns for employees, tradies and sole traders, plus quarterly BAS — by a registered tax agent and BAS agent in Subiaco.
Tax Returns & BAS, Done Properly
Fixed fees quoted before we start. Our fee for preparing your return is generally tax deductible next year.
A Local Tax Agent, Not A Franchise
Wattlebrook started in a Subiaco shopfront in 2011 and we're still there. We're registered with the Tax Practitioners Board as both a tax agent and a BAS agent, so we can look after your tax return and your business activity statements. Most clients see the same person every year and get a fixed fee before we start.
- ✓Registered tax agent and BAS agent

What Our Clients Say
I'm a sparky on my own ABN. They do my BAS every quarter and my tax return in one go, and they caught tool and ute costs I'd never claimed.
Three years of returns I'd never lodged. They sorted all of them out with the ATO and explained exactly where I stood. Huge weight off.
Same person every July for ten years. In and out in half an hour, and the fee is less than I'd guess.
Your BAS, Lodged On Time Every Quarter
Once your turnover reaches $75,000 you generally need to register for GST and lodge a BAS. We prepare it from your bank feeds and receipts, check your GST and PAYG instalments, and lodge it with the ATO — and because we do your tax return too, the numbers match at year-end.
- ✓Quarterly or monthly BAS
- ✓GST and PAYG instalments checked
- ✓Reminders before every due date

Common Questions
How much does a tax return cost?
Individual returns start at $99 and sole trader returns at $249. We quote your fee before we start, and the fee is generally deductible on next year's return.
Can the fee come out of my refund?
Yes, if you'd like. We'll tell you the fee first, and you can pay it up front instead if you prefer.
Do I get more time if I use a tax agent?
Usually, yes. If you're on a registered tax agent's client list before 31 October, your return is generally due later under the ATO's lodgement program. We'll confirm your date.
How long until I get my refund?
The ATO says most returns lodged online are processed within about two weeks. Some take longer if the ATO checks them.
I haven't lodged for a few years. What now?
We'll find out which years are missing, lodge them and talk to the ATO about any penalties or a payment plan if you owe.
When do I need to register for GST?
Generally once your business turnover reaches $75,000 a year, or from day one if you drive for a ride-sourcing service. We'll check your situation.
Can you lodge my BAS for me?
Yes. We're a registered BAS agent, so we can prepare and lodge your BAS and help with GST and PAYG instalments.
