EOFY APPROACHES (Again!)

Is it just us, or does it feel like we just packed away the Christmas tree, blinked, and now the end of the financial year is hurtling towards us like a shopping trolley with a dodgy wheel?

Well, ready or not, June 30 is only two months away — and it’s the prime time to start getting your financial ducks (or maybe a few slightly confused chickens) in a row.

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed, don't stress — your friendly Tax Accountant Hobart team at Hills Accounting is here to help you tackle EOFY without losing sleep... or your sanity.

So, What Should You Be Doing Right Now?

First things first: Don't be the person rummaging through a shoebox of crumpled receipts at midnight on June 29. (One of our clients once wanted to claim $1,200 worth of “business lunches” — turns out, they were mostly Macca’s drive-thru runs. Spoiler alert: we fixed it - but the ATO would not be amused.)

Here’s a better plan

Get your paperwork sorted: Start gathering invoices, receipts, bank statements, and anything else that proves you spent money to make money.

Know what you can claim: Work expenses, donations, car expenses, home office costs — but remember, the ATO isn’t handing out prizes for creative writing. Your claims need to be legit!

Top up your super (if it suits you): Some extra super contributions before June 30 can be a smart move tax-wise.

Double-check your records: Especially if you’re running a side hustle. Missing income is a big red flag for the ATO — and not the festive kind.

Why Getting Help from a Tax Pro Is Worth It

Sure, you could spend your weekends Googling “how to claim a stapler on tax”...

Or you could get a real and helpful human (hi, that's us!) to make sure you’re claiming what you’re entitled to — without accidentally painting a giant audit target on your back.

A good Tax Accountant like Hills Accounting doesn’t just fill out your forms — we help you plan for the best possible result, legally and painlessly.

Plus, we’re friendly, we speak normal-people English (not accountant-ese), and we’ve got your back if the ATO has questions.

The Early Bird Gets the Refund

Every year, we get a few early birds who roll into our office in May, smugly clutching their neat folders and USB drives.

They’re not better people. They just like faster refunds. (Also, they sleep a lot better knowing they’ve ticked it off their to-do list.)

Want to be one of those smug-but-happy early birds this year?

Give Hills Accounting a call today. Our team of Tax Accountant Hobart specialists are ready to help you cruise into EOFY feeling calm, collected, and maybe even a little bit relaxed.
