A free electronic calendar is now available on the Tax Office website to help small businesses meet their tax and superannuation guarantee obligations throughout the year.

Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo said Your small business tax calendar provides reminders of lodgement due dates for small businesses and bookkeepers.

If you run:

• more than one business, you can set up a unique tax calendar for each business
• a bookkeeping service, you can set up a unique tax calendar for each of your clients.

“You can personalise the calendar quickly and easily by answering some simple questions about your business,” Mr D’Ascenzo said.

“Based on your individual circumstances, the calendar records all the due dates you need for the financial year, such as when to lodge your business activity statement and when to pay your employees’ superannuation.”

The updated calendar can now also be used by charities, not-for-profit organisations and deductible gift recipients to help them meet their tax and superannuation obligations.

Small businesses and organisations can also:

• record notes and reminders, such as appointments or payment due dates
• update the calendar at any time if their business structure or reporting obligations change, and
• print a one-page yearly planner for tax and superannuation obligations and due dates.

The calendar is designed for small businesses, including sole traders, with a turnover of less than $2 million, as well as charities and not-for-profit organisations.

The latest version of the tax calendar is now available and we encourage businesses to download a copy as it contains up-to-date information for lodgement and payment due dates.

To download a free copy of the tax calendar, visit the Tax Office website at www.ato.gov.au/TaxCalendar. The calendar is also available on CD by calling 13 72 26.
