We’ve been working with Rafal for the past two years, and I couldn’t be happier with his services. He’s incredibly reliable, always professional, and takes the time to explain things in detail. One of the best parts is that he speaks both Polish and English, which makes communication a breeze. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy accountant!

Raf has been taxing care of my company’s tax for the last few years. A big positive change from the previous two tax agencies I had tried. Raf takes a personal, hands-on attitude – I feel as though he treats my company accounting as though it were his own. Raf is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

It was such a relief for me to let Raf do all of my tax return in the past few years. There is alot of thing I don’t know about doing a proper tax return. Since I used Raf’s service, I received a much bigger return that I had previously. One less thing to worry about every financial year: check!

I’ve been through several different accountants in the past and no other accountant put so much time and effort into understanding my family businesses including our complex family business structure than Tax Accounting Group and Raf in particular. My family had overdue returns, my businesses had messy accounts (despite paying bookkeppers) and I always felt like I was overpaying my taxes. Raf and his team not only brought all my accounts up to date and prepared all my outstanding business returns but Raf also made sure I understood what he was doing. He even found some errors in my already lodged tax returns and amended them saving me a couple of thousands! Raf is very responsive and would always promptly answer every question I had. He knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. Thank you for your hard work!

I have used Raf for my personal tax returns over the past couple of years. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding the process and made suggestions on things we could claim for that my wife and I never even considered previously. I have typically taken a DIY stance when it came to tax returns prior to going through Tax Accounting Group; though this often meant i only got to claim back a couple of hundred dollars in previous years. This time i got a $3000 refund and last year $2500. So for the price I paid for engaging Raf to do my last couple of tax returns, it was worth it many times over. Definitely recommend others to use them and in doing so support this local small business.
Tax Return Accountant in Sydney
A business tax return is not just the last task after the year ends.
It is the formal record of how the business traded, what structure it operated through, what deductions were claimed, how income was reported and whether the accounts support the position being lodged with the ATO.
I’m Rafal Slowinski, Director of Tax Accounting Group Pty Ltd. I work with businesses in Sydney that need tax return preparation handled carefully, explained clearly and lodged from records that can stand behind the result.
This page is for business owners, company directors, trustees and partners who want the return prepared properly before lodgement, not rushed because the deadline is getting close.
Your Return Carries The Weight Of The Whole Business
Rafal Slowinski is a highly accomplished tax specialist and the Director of Tax Accounting Group Pty Ltd. He holds a degree in Accounting and Tax Law from the University of New South Wales and has spent his career helping Australian business owners understand complex tax and accounting issues in a more practical way.
Rafal has partnered with more than 2,000 businesses, delivering tailored accounting solutions and compliant tax minimisation strategies. His work focuses on identifying hidden efficiencies, protecting wealth and helping businesses navigate important financial and regulatory challenges.
That experience matters when a business tax return is being prepared because the return has to reflect more than income and expenses.
It has to match the structure, the financial statements, the BAS history, the payroll records, the asset schedule, the loans, the distributions, the company or trust position and the decisions made during the year.
If those pieces do not agree with each other, the return should not be treated as a simple lodgement.
The Structure Changes The Return
Tax return preparation in Sydney can look very different depending on the business’s structure.
A sole trader may need the business result prepared as part of the individual tax return. A partnership needs the partnership income, and each partner’s position needs to be handled consistently. A company tax return requires that the company’s income, expenses, loans, director payments, retained profits, and tax payable be properly reviewed. A trust return may depend on distribution decisions, beneficiary records and trust accounting.
The same business activity can create different tax outcomes depending on how it is held.
That is why I do not treat every business tax lodgement in Sydney as the same job. The return must align with the business’s legal and tax structure; otherwise, the final result may look neat yet miss the point.
Before The Return Goes In, The Accounts Need To Hold Together
A business tax return depends on the underlying accounts.
Financial statements, bookkeeping records, BAS figures, GST, PAYG, payroll, super, assets, loans, drawings and prior-year balances all affect the return. If the accounts are incomplete or inconsistent, the tax return may carry those problems forward.
Before lodgement, I look for the issues that can distort the result.
Income may not match the records. BAS figures may not reconcile to the annual accounts. Asset purchases may require depreciation treatment rather than being incorrectly claimed. Director loans may need review. Trust distributions may need to match the year-end position. Partnership income may need to flow properly to each partner.
Business tax return preparation in Sydney should give the owner confidence that the return is based on a clear accounting position.
Company Tax Return Lodgement in Sydney
Company tax returns require careful handling because company funds and personal funds are distinct.
A company may have director wages, director loans, retained profits, dividends, PAYG instalments, company tax payable, asset purchases and business expenses that all need to be treated properly.
If money has moved between the company and the director without clear records, the return may raise questions that need to be answered before lodgement.
For company tax return lodgement in Sydney, I review the company accounts, tax position and supporting records so the return reflects the company’s actual activity. The lodgement of company tax returns should not be reduced to entering figures into a form. It should involve checking how those figures were created and whether they make sense.
A Tax Return Specialist Looks For The Story Behind The Figures
A tax return specialist in Sydney should be able to explain why the return looks the way it does.
Why is tax payable?
Why did profit increase when cash still felt tight?
Why do BAS figures differ from the year-end accounts?
Why is a deduction limited?
Why is a director’s loan showing?
Why does the trust or partnership result flow through to other people?
These questions matter because business owners often need more than a lodged return. They need to understand what the return indicates about the business.
Sometimes the return confirms that the year was handled well.
Sometimes it shows that bookkeeping, BAS, payroll, structure or cash planning needs attention before the same issues repeat next year.
Lodgement Should Close The Year Cleanly
Tax return lodgement in Sydney should feel like the year has been closed properly.
That means the return has been prepared from reliable records, the result has been explained, the lodgement position is clear, and the owner understands any tax payable, instalments, losses, carry-forward items or matters that may affect the next year.
If the ATO later asks a question, the return should be supported by records that show how the result was reached.
If an issue is discovered before lodgement, it can be addressed in the correct order. If it is ignored, it may become a correction, amendment or compliance problem later.

Frequently Asked Questions
The records depend on the business structure, but may include financial statements, bookkeeping reports, bank reconciliations, BAS records, payroll summaries, asset details, loan information, trust distribution records, partnership details and company records.
The return should not be rushed from incomplete accounts. The missing or unclear items need to be identified first so the company tax return is based on records that can support the result.
BAS figures can affect GST, PAYG and the year-end accounting position. If BAS reports do not match the annual accounts, the difference should be reviewed before the return is lodged.
Yes. Each structure has different reporting requirements and tax consequences. A company, trust, partnership and sole trader return should be prepared in a way that reflects the structure correctly.
Yes. Rafal can review which years are outstanding, what records are available and what needs to be prepared so the business can move toward getting its lodgements back on track.
