Step Two: Fulfilling your Tax and Compliance Obligations

From here you have three options:

1. Make your own arrangements
2. Use the MedRecruit & Openside Locum Tax Model to guide you through your tax compliance with GST and Income Tax returns. This involves completing a simple Excel based model and filing the tax returns yourself. To request a FREE copy of this model click here.
3. Engage the services of Openside to complete your annual financial statements and income tax returns. the price for this service depends on the complexity of your activities. For example, if you have a simple sole trader structure, the annual financial statements and income tax return is likely to cost $1,000-$1,200 plus GST per annum. If your scenario is more complex or you would prefer Openside to complete your GST returns, then Openside can provide you with a quote.

When determining the best option for your situation, consideration should be given to the following:

• How much time and effort do you want to spend on tax compliance compared to earning income as a doctor?
• Whether you want a Chartered Accountant to ensure your tax compliance is accurate and that tax minimisation opportunities have been fully utilised?
• Whether you need to have a trust or company structure in place that will require professional assistance?
