Ask a Question
Plan before you start

Estimate your refund or check our preparation fees

Use the Australian tax refund estimator for a general calculation, or build an indicative 2026 preparation-fee estimate from our published individual return packages.

Both tools provide general estimates. Your final tax outcome and preparation fee are confirmed after review.
Frequently asked questions

Know what to expect before you begin

These answers cover the questions we hear most often. Your agent will confirm what applies to your own circumstances.

What happens after I submit the online form?

We review your enquiry and contact you within 1–2 business days. Your tax agent will confirm the type of return you need, explain the next steps and tell you which records are relevant. Submitting the form does not lodge a tax return and does not commit you to a fee.

What documents should I have ready?

The exact list depends on your circumstances. Common records include income statements, receipts or other evidence for deductions, private health insurance details, bank interest, dividend statements, rental property records, business income and expenses, and share or crypto transaction reports. If you are an international student or temporary visa holder seeking a Medicare levy exemption, you may also need a Medicare Entitlement Statement (MES) from Services Australia. Your agent will provide a tailored checklist.

How much will my tax return cost?

Fees depend on the work involved. A straightforward employee return is different from a return with business income, rental property, investments, foreign income or capital gains. Use our 2026 fee calculator for an indicative preparation fee. We confirm the scope and provide a clear quote before preparing or lodging your return.

How long will the whole process take?

Once we have complete information, we will tell you the expected preparation time for your return. Complex returns or missing records can take longer. After lodgement, ATO processing time is outside our control and can vary if the ATO needs to check information.

Can I claim every expense related to my job?

Not automatically. A deductible expense generally needs to be connected with earning your assessable income, paid by you without reimbursement, and supported by appropriate records. Private expenses are not deductible, and some expenses must be apportioned. We discuss the rules that apply to your circumstances.

Can you help with sole trader, rental, shares or crypto income?

Yes. We can assist with individual returns that include ABN income, rental properties, dividends, managed funds, share disposals and crypto transactions. Please tell us about these items at the beginning so we can confirm the records required and provide an accurate quote.

Do you help temporary residents and international students?

Yes. We can review Australian and foreign income, tax residency factors and Medicare levy questions. Residency and exemption outcomes depend on your individual facts and supporting evidence, so they need to be assessed rather than assumed.

Why do you need to verify my identity?

Registered tax practitioners must verify a client’s identity before providing tax agent services. We will ask you to upload your ID through our tax return form only, and it will be requested for identity verification. Please do not send identity documents through the general contact form, email, WhatsApp or social media.

Can you lodge overdue returns or amend a previous return?

Yes. We can help lodge your overdue tax returns and amend eligible previously lodged tax returns. We will first review your circumstances and discuss whether an amendment is needed. Additional fees may apply depending on the work involved, and we will explain and agree on the fee with you before proceeding.

Will I definitely receive a refund?

No tax agent can guarantee a refund. Your result depends on your income, tax withheld, deductions, offsets, debts and other circumstances. Our role is to prepare an accurate return and help you claim the amounts you are legally entitled to claim.

When is my individual tax return due?

Individuals lodging their own return generally need to lodge by 31 October. Registered tax agents may have different lodgement schedules for eligible clients, but you generally need to engage an agent before 31 October. Contact us early if you have an overdue return or are unsure of your due date.

Is the online refund estimator an exact result?

No. It provides a general indication from the figures entered and cannot account for every tax rule or personal circumstance. The final result can only be determined after a complete review of your income, deductions, offsets and records.
