Australian financial year calendar and the countdown to tax time - FY23

Key dates in June

30 June is EOFY. All new transactions from 1 July go into your FY23 books. The next month of your EOFY calendar will focus on closing out Q4 obligations.

Key dates in July

With your Q4 reports squared away in July, your EOFY calendar will now shift focus to annual reporting. That means getting things ready for your tax agent.

Key dates in August

Ensure your FY22 books show every transaction. Make copies of every receipt and invoice ready to give to your tax agent.

If you’re a Xero customer, get your paperwork into Xero with Hubdoc.

Key dates in September

Schedule your tax agent to work on your return.

It's a good idea to get your books and documentation tidy before involving a professional. Otherwise they'll need to spend heaps of extra time on your accounts, and EOFY could end up being costly.
