louisef Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi - Has anyone got a good Tax Agent they would recommend ? Thanks Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Go Matilda Tax in Butler can handle UK & Aussie tax issues, but if you are just employed with a simple tax return its worth doing it yourself, its easy online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I will disagree with Druid on this one. I am a normal / easy case with only income being salary. I have done it myself a couple of times and used an accountant the rest. The accountants get me an awful lot more back than I would have got doing it myself and their fee is also tax deducabke - so no cost.

kibanje Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Very interested in this post as well as have read it is useful to get an accountant to do it for you as they can save you a fair amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I did say 'simple' theres only so much laundry & tool allowance you can claim when your a wage slave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisef Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Thanks Guys - its for my OH who is self employed and has bought a van and tools etc this year so I think it would be worth us using an agent - also there is the medicare levy Im not sure about. If anyone has a personal recommendation for an agent that would be great too - a few people have told me they do have one but they are expensive and not very good : ( !

Google Go Matilda Tax and give them a call, take no notice of the city address it doesnt exist, they are based in Butler but were in the process of moving, if your hubby is self employed then theres nothing simple about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 HR Block normally get good reviews. For or me the advantage of using an agent has been they know a lot of things that can be claimed that I dont. For example, if you work outdoors at all, then sun block can be claimed, insect repellent and even the cost of a hat. Loads of other things like that.

elfie Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 HR block for us in Rockingham. There is an English lady there who does our tax bearing in mind we have UK business to deal with. I nearly always get all the tax I pay back and my hubby crikey she gets him heaps and piles and millions which we have a spending spree with come July. We use a UK accountant for our UK tax declaration. The first year it was a nightmare with UK tax but once it was all set up it runs smoothly. All correspondence via email its fab. He is a Welsh guy who now lives in Tenerife the joys of the internet amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
