Scope & availability
LawAstra can organise factual records and an agreed preparation checklist. Eligibility decisions, tax or legal advice, certification, professional drafting, filing and representation require your separate engagement with the appropriately qualified professional. Government and professional fees are separate.
Know the scope.
Keep control.
Define the output, timing, fees and responsibilities before accepted work begins.
How we workWhat can the support scope cover?
Organise source invoices, credit or debit notes, available reconciliations and earlier return references by the period you identify. The output can include a record index, unresolved-figure list and task owners. Return selection, tax treatment, reconciliation conclusions, amendments, closure and filing remain with your independently retained qualified professional.
Does this service file GST returns?
No. LawAstra prepares a source-record file and question list. Your separately engaged qualified professional determines the return, figures and filing requirements.
Can I use it for an update or cancellation?
You can request a preparation checklist for the stated change, current registration references and supporting papers. Eligibility and the application itself remain with your professional and the authority.
What happens if figures do not match?
We can record the mismatch against its source and assign a question for review. We do not decide tax treatment or certify a reconciliation.
