Tax Season 2026
Individual Returns
It's Tax Time. Let's Make It Easy.
The 2026 tax year is here, and whether you're a salaried employee, sole trader, FIFO worker, or small business owner — Atramentum is ready to take the stress out of tax season for you.
We're a Perth-based accounting team, located right here in Nedlands on Stirling Highway. No offshore call centres. No cookie-cutter advice. Just real, local people who know the WA landscape.
Local First. Virtual When It Suits You.
We're big believers in starting with a proper conversation. Whether it's over a coffee in our Nedlands office or a quick video call, that first face-to-face meeting means we get to know you — your situation, your goals, and what you actually need — before we touch a single number.
After that? We're as flexible as you need us to be. Most of our clients manage everything remotely through our secure client portal, email, and phone. No need to come in for every question or document. Life's busy — we get it.
So if you're just around the corner in Claremont or Subiaco, come in and say hello. And if you're across town or just prefer to work online, we've got you covered there too.

Who We Help at Tax Time
👤 Individuals
Salaried employees, investors, rental property owners, and anyone with more than one income source. We'll maximise your deductions and make sure you're not leaving money on the table.

Sole Traders You're a Person and a Business
Most accountants treat your tax return as one thing. But if you're running your own business under an ABN, it's actually two things: your personal tax return and a business schedule — and how they're put together makes a real difference to what you pay.
As a sole trader, your business income and expenses flow straight into your individual return. That means your deductions need to be captured precisely, your business and personal expenses separated correctly, and your ATO obligations met — all in one lodgement.
At Atramentum, we handle both sides together. We'll make sure your business deductions are maximised, your income is reported correctly, and nothing is missed because it fell between the two.
What we cover for sole traders:
Your individual tax return including business income schedule
Business deductions — tools, equipment, vehicle, home office, subcontractors
Motor vehicle claims (logbook or cents-per-km method)
Work-related expenses on top of your business costs
GST and BAS obligations if you're registered
Super contributions — including the deduction for personal super contributions as a sole trader
