No — if anything, lodging through a registered tax agent is less likely to raise red flags because claims are substantiated and calculated properly. And if the ATO ever asks a question, we handle it directly for you.

Nope, it's 100% online. Fill out a short form, upload your documents and receipts from your phone, and sign electronically. We look after clients right across Australia.

Almost certainly not as much as you think. We'll pull your ATO history, lodge every outstanding year together, and in a lot of cases the older years come back as refunds. If there's a debt, we'll negotiate an affordable payment plan with the ATO for you.

A simple return is from $99, and most people with work deductions land at $149. Sole traders start from $249, and anything with a rental, shares or crypto is quoted up front from $199. The fee itself is tax-deductible next year.

Yes. Fee-from-refund means there's nothing to pay up front — we deduct the fee when the ATO pays, and the balance goes straight to your bank account.

We usually lodge within 48 hours of getting everything from you, and the ATO typically pays refunds within 5 to 10 business days after that.

It depends on your job. Tools, uniforms, work travel, phone and internet, home office hours, self-education, and union fees are the most common. We'll ask you targeted questions so you claim every dollar you're entitled to without having to guess.
