Tax Returns From $80

Your Tax Return

The most hateful of admin tasks. Worse than paying bills. Lodging Tax Returns is so universally hated that more than 90% of Australians employ a local tax agent to bear the burden.

Tax agents on ServiceSeeking.com.au charge as little as $80 for an extremely simple tax return, although the average fee is a bit over $500 (it gets more expensive to prepare the tax return when you own an investment property or have FBT issues).

How much should I pay for a Tax Return?

It depends on your tax situation (do you own an investment property? do you have multiple sources of income?) Lodging tax returns through an Accountant is not as expensive as you might think and sometimes, if you are eligible for a refund, the tax refund offsets their cost.

If your tax affairs are simple and you have all the paperwork at hand, it may only cost as low as $80. The average price quoted to prepare and lodge a Tax Return is $503.33 and the average hourly rate quoted is $98.58.

What do I need to give my Tax Agent? 

Make sure you have your PAYG summary (aka group certificate) handy and proof of any supplementary income from rental income, bank interest ir share dividends. Log books are vital if you have a car allowance. Make sure you have a folder containing receipts for petrol, insurance and maintenance.

You may also be eligible to claim deductions for books or educational purchases which relate to your income, or a portion of your rent (home office) if you work from home. Our Tax Agents delight in sifting through this type of documentation and the net result will be that your life will become easier.
