What LodgeiT is
LodgeiT is tax software for preparing and lodging returns, aimed at accountants, bookkeepers, and people filing company, trust, or partnership returns. Listed forms include company, trust, partnership, SMSF, and fringe benefits tax returns, plus activity statements and other business reporting forms. It can import accounting data to fill returns, special purpose financial reports, and working papers, and lists connections to QuickBooks, Xero, MYOB, Excel, and other accounting platforms. Digital signing includes status tracking, reminders, and stored signed copies. Electronic filing, amended returns, and rental income support are listed. A trial requires no payment details, with charges beginning on the first ATO lodgment. Nano costs A$120 a year, including GST, and includes five lodgments; other listed subscriptions offer larger allowances. LodgeiT says it is ISO 27001 certified, hosts its platform on Amazon cloud in Australia, and backs up data automatically while users work. Tax agent subscriptions do not renew automatically, and unused credits expire when a subscription expires. Supported forms follow the current SBR framework; legacy forms deactivated by the ATO are not supported.
