We are now well into the tax season and as August through to November are typically our busiest months it can take up to 4 or 5 weeks to process your returns during this time of year. If you have sent your return in and you need it processed quickly to obtain finance or if you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time please contact your client manager to discuss. If you have not yet compiled your year-end tax information, we would encourage you to submit this to us prior to 31 December to ensure we have ample time to complete your return before lodgement deadline.
