How to Save Your Business from Unexpected Tax Fees

BALLARAT, Australia - Dec. 17, 2018 - PRLog -- While you may be very diligent when lodging your tax return, there is still something you can do to protect yourself from unexpected fees. Don't be vulnerable, consult with your tax accountant.

If you are a business owner, you can choose from different types of coverage depending on what your business needs. An audit insurance covers any investigation, enquiry, review or audit that the Australian Tax Office or other relevant government revenue agencies may instigate to ensure tax compliance.

A tax accountant can help you work through auditing regulations and reduce the chances of an audit. However, business owners can still be audited and incur fees even when they are not at fault due to the government's increased audit activity.

The ATO may review your tax return anytime and while your deductions may be substantiated and you won't owe additional taxes because of the tax review, you may still incur steep fees for professional services related to the cost of an audit. You wouldn't have anything to worry about if you have taken out audit insurance, as this will cover the total cost of any professional fees incurred.

An audit insurance policy can cover lodged returns, including employer obligations, capital gains tax, fringe benefits tax, superannuation guarantee, payroll tax and income tax, among others. However, it is advisable to discuss coverage options with your tax accountant to ensure the best option for you has been selected.

Make sure that you review the full list of coverage as well as excluded items and possible scenarios, so that you can choose the best audit insurance available for your business. In doing so, you help protect your business from those unexpected expenses.
