Deceased Estate Tax Returns and Compliance
Administering an estate after the passing of a loved one can be complex and emotionally challenging. At MP Tax & Business Solutions, we support executors, administrators, and families by managing all tax compliance and reporting obligations with care, efficiency, and precision.
From establishing the estate’s tax status to lodging final individual tax returns and handling complex property or asset disposals, we ensure the estate’s tax obligations are fully resolved so you can distribute assets smoothly and without unexpected liabilities.
What can MP Tax do to help you?

Date of Death Tax Returns: Preparing and lodging the deceased individual's final personal tax return to cover all income and tax deductions up to their date of passing.
Deceased Estate Trust Tax Returns: Lodging annual trust tax returns for income earned by the estate—such as interest, dividends, rental income, or capital gains—prior to final distribution.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) & Asset Disposals: Navigating complex CGT rules for estate assets, including the 2-year main residence exemption for inherited property, share portfolio liquidations, and term deposit distributions.
Legal Collaboration & Specialist Referrals: Working seamlessly alongside your chosen estate lawyers, or connecting you with trusted, highly specialised estate planning and probate solicitors from our professional network.
