This is only the second time that Alberto has used a tax agent to prepare his tax return and he has some additional questions for you:

1.   Alberto is aware he is a bit late seeing an accountant this year and as a consequence his return will probably be lodged late. He inquires as to the time frame for lodgement of taxation returns and the penalty he could incur.

2.   He is also aware that there are different ways to calculate capital gains and would like them explained to him.

3.   Alberto is a little uncertain as to the meaning on his dividend statements of the terms “franked amount” and “franking credit” and would like you to explain them to him.

4.   Finally, Alberto heard that changes to the methods available to claim car expenses/depreciation were announced in the budget, and would like the proposed changes explained to him.
