How to compare tax agents in the Gold Coast

  • Fees. The price of the tax agent will vary on a number of factors. You may find that income tax chains are cheaper than individual agents; however, the cost of the service can depend on the agent's reputation, the speed in which they can offer the service and the work required to prepare the tax statement. Tax agents in the Gold Coast generally advertise their fees on their website; but a simple phone call is all it takes to find out the cost of the tax agent's service.
  • The service. Unless you're an expert in the area of income tax, a Gold Coast tax agent should be able to get your return lodged in less time than doing it yourself. Besides being able to quickly lodge your income tax return, a tax agent should also be able to get you the greatest refund possible by investigating all the deductions you're eligible to claim. There may be some items you have purchased in the previous year you can claim back as a tax deduction. A Gold Coast tax agent can assist you with business activity statement (BAS) requirements, although there are specialist registered BAS agents who can also perform this service as well. Both tax agents and BAS agents must comply with the Tax Agent Services Act 2009.
  • Reputation. You should be able to research the reputation of a tax agent in the Gold Coast by performing a simple internet search. People are willing the review the services of tax agents they've used in the past, and if a tax agent in the Gold Coast has underperformed, you're sure to be able to read about it on the internet.

Pros

  • Speed. A tax agent can almost certainly complete your tax return in a shorter period of time than people who have no or limited experience preparing a lodging a personal income tax return.
  • A greater return. A Gold Coast tax agent can help you identify all your deductions you may be eligible to receive for the previous financial year. This expert knowledge does come at a price; however, you may find that the cost of making use of the tax agent’s service minimal when compared to the greater tax return.

Cons

  • Price. Registered tax agents charge a fee for their services. The cost will vary between different sole operators and national tax agent chains. You can easily investigate the cost for of the service (and the agent’s reputation too) by contacting the tax agent directly.
  • Limited services. A registered tax agent has a scope of services limited to preparing and lodging personal income tax returns. Some tax agents may also be able to prepare business activity statements. A tax agent can not perform the services of an accountant.

    I have just arrived in Australia on a visa 457 anddue to commence a new doctor job in April. Is there any point in talking to an accountant at this stage to get advice in in terms of prospective purchases and expenditure in order to maximize tax return in the coming year? Basically a chat to familiarize with local taxation system?

      Hi Kieran,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      Basically, it won’t hurt to ask for advice from a professional. By doing this you will be informed of the things you need and need not do. I would suggest seeking help from an accountant. This would benefit you.

      Hope this information helped.

      Cheers,
      Arnold
