i didn’t get my payg payment summary (group certificate) from my employer

Once you are a TG client you do not have to provide PAYG Payment Summaries to us as we can access them online. The ATO has recently implemented a new payroll system and all employers will have to use it come mid-2020. It involves employers reporting directly to the ATO and employees getting their PAYG Summaries from their “MyGov” log in instead of directly from their employer. As your accountant we have access to your PAYG Payment Summary (and various other data) via “ATO Online Services”.

i need an auditor - can tg help?

We have many years experience with assurance audits like those required by estate agents, and can provide informal internal system audits. We are however not registered auditors so we cannot perform SMSF audits etc.

i live overseas but need to lodge an australian tax return - can tg help?

Yes! We have years of experience in dealing with Australian tax matters for overseas clients. Our primary method of communication is electronic so we are excellently suited to communicating with overseas clients, no worries at all.

Where can I park when coming to see TG?

The best priced inner city parking on a weekday is at Crown, $16 maximum per day. Commercial secure parking starts at around $15 per half hour, and street parking can be very tricky. The 109 tram however stops right outside our door - so our best advice is to ditch your car and PT it!
