"Don't panic, but don't wait. Whether your return is straightforward or complicated, getting professional help before the deadline takes the stress out of it and helps make sure you claim everything you're entitled to." Byford Accountants spokesperson Byford Accountants reminds Western Australians that self-lodged individual tax returns are due 31 October.

Registering with a registered tax agent before the deadline may allow a later lodgement date.

The firm assists with overdue and amended returns, eligible deductions and returns for employees, contractors, investors and retirees.
