5 Reasons Why Majority of Australians Use Tax Agents

5 Reasons Why Majority of Australians Use Tax Agents

With less stress, increased accuracy and maximum refunds, it’s easy to see why the majority of Australians choose to lodge their returns with tax agents like H&R Block. Let’s face it, for those of us who aren’t accountants, tax is a complex business, which is why many people prefer to leave it to the experts to get the best possible refund. If you’re not an expert in occupation-specific deductions, it’s probably unlikely you’ll understand all the deductions you’re entitled to claim. Yesterday I Lodged my Tax return with H&R Block Tax agent in a friendly environment.

YOU SAVE TIME

While there are a fair few DIY online tax tools out there, nothing beats the convenience of sitting with your tax agent and getting the job done. While taking matters into your own hands may seem like the fastest way to lodge your taxes, DIY isn’t always the best way. In that time, your tax professional will ask you a series of questions and review your documentation to secure the best result. On the surface, you may think DIY lodging online is quicker, but for most people, this isn’t the case.

Once you add in the time to collate your information, look up your deductions and check to make sure you haven’t made any mistakes, the process takes much longer than an hour. To make the process as convenient and hassle-free as possible, it’s important to come prepared to your appointment. This tax return checklist has a list of all the documents you need to get your taxes done quickly and accurately.

LESS STRESS

If you choose to lodge with H&R Block, the buck doesn’t stop at tax time. We’re here 365 days if you need advice. Whether you’re getting married, starting a new business or catching up on late tax returns – we’re here for you.

OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE EXTENDED DEADLINES

If you lodge your tax return using a tax agent, the usual deadline of October 31st does not apply to you. Working with an agent means you potentially have until May the following year to complete your return.

GREAT VALUE IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

As tax can be a complex and nuanced exercise, there’s great value in building a relationship with your tax agent. As your circumstances change, your tax agent can offer advice and suggestions to help you maximise your finances and ensure you get back what you deserve.

LESS COMPLEX AND WORTH IT

As Australia’s largest preparer of personal income tax returns, H&R Block have learnt one thing or two over the past 40 plus years. If you’ve got several jobs, earn additional income through the sharing economy, run a business, own rental property or juggle an investment portfolio, using a tax agent is definitely worth it.

If you have not lodged your tax return yet, you have less than 5 days to the deadline, 31st October to lodge. H&R Block are offering $25 wish card or $25 off your tax return if you register with them.
