Tax Agents in Australia

Ask whether the person preparing your return is a registered tax agent, and check that for yourself rather than assuming. Tell the practice what you need, whether that is an individual return, a sole trader or company return, rental property schedules or a bookkeeping catch-up, because the work and the fee will differ. Ask how fees are set, whether you will be quoted up front, and who will actually handle your file. Find out what records to bring and how the practice keeps your information secure. Be wary of anyone who promises a particular refund before seeing your paperwork. Requesting quotes from a few practices is reasonable.
