"I Sold Shares and Crypto This Year and Don't Know What to Declare."
Every sale is a capital gains event. We match each sale to its purchase, apply the discount and any losses, and report it correctly, so the ATO's data matches your return.
"Our Family Business and Household Spending Are All Mixed Together."
That's common, but it makes returns risky. We separate business and private costs, set up simple records and lodge returns you can explain.
Strathfield Tax Questions We Answer Every Week
How much does a tax return cost in Strathfield?
A standard return for an employee or student is priced lower than a return with shares, crypto, rental property or business income. SAQCH Partners gives a fixed quote before starting, and fees for managing your tax affairs through a registered tax agent are generally deductible in the following year.
Do students need to lodge a tax return?
If tax was taken out of your pay, lodging a return is usually how you get some or all of it back. You also need to lodge if your income was above the tax-free threshold or you have a HELP debt that may need repaying. We check your situation and lodge for you.
How are dividends and franking credits taxed?
You include both the cash dividend and the attached franking credit in your income, then the franking credit is offset against your tax. If the credits are more than the tax you owe, the excess is generally refunded, which often benefits students and retirees.
Do I pay tax when I sell shares or crypto?
Yes, selling or swapping shares or crypto is generally a capital gains tax event. You pay tax on the gain at your marginal rate, and if you held the asset for more than 12 months, generally only half the gain is taxed. Losses can offset gains.
Can I meet a tax accountant near Strathfield?
Yes. Our office at Level 14, 3 Parramatta Square is a short train trip from Strathfield, and we also work with clients online and by phone.
We can help if you…
- Earn dividends or sold shares, ETFs or crypto this year.
- Are studying, have a HELP debt or work two jobs.
- Run a family business where personal and business costs overlap.
- Received an ATO letter about income you didn't declare.

What Does a Tax Accountant in Strathfield Help With?
Mostly the parts of a tax return people find hardest to get right. Strathfield and the surrounding suburbs have a large mix of students, young professionals, investors and established family businesses. That means returns with dividends and franking credits, share and crypto sales, HELP repayments, more than one job, and family businesses where costs need careful separation.
The ATO receives data from banks, share registries and crypto exchanges, so leaving income out is likely to be noticed. We use your ATO pre-fill data as a starting point and check it against your own records. Our registration can be confirmed on the Tax Practitioners Board register.
How are fully franked dividends taxed?
Franking credit = cash dividend × 30 ÷ 70; taxable amount = cash dividend + franking credit
Example: a $700 fully franked dividend carries a $300 franking credit, so $1,000 is included in your income. The $300 is then credited against your tax, and if your tax on that income is less than $300, the excess is generally refunded to you.
