Makes doing your own Tax refund so easy. Basically does it all for you and does a better job than seeing an accountant in person in my experience. I will use Etax always in future.

I was referred to E Tax by a family member and had my misgivings but have found it relatively easy to use.
Although there are areas that I am not sure of, my understanding is the E Tax staff will follow up if required.
I recommend using at this point in time.

Hi Tristan,
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your refund estimate and felt let down by our communication. Our team of accountants always aim to achieve the best possible outcome for every client, and it’s disappointing to know we didn’t meet your expectations this time.
As soon as we received your review, we escalated your file to one of our senior accountants. We understand one of our team leaders attempted to contact you last week. When they were unable to reach you over the phone, they followed up with several messages to explain the situation, address your concerns, and offer a resolution.
As a registered tax agent, we’re required to follow the ATO’s strict rules and provide the necessary evidence when preparing a return. We understand this can sometimes feel frustrating, and we’re sorry if this added to your experience. Please know our priority is always to maximise your refund within ATO guidelines and make the process as smooth as possible.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and wish you the very best moving forward.
Kind regards,
Etax Accountants

Simply enter the TFN the rest is just about checking for correctness and filling in missing data. It helps comparing with previous tax records.
All done in a very short time.

CGT Calculations Way Off
The initial CGT calculation had me owing $2k in taxes. After I thoroughly reviewed the accountant's spreadsheet and requested that numerous mistakes be corrected, my return was finalised with an $8k refund! Do your own CGT calculations, or at a minimum know what you're expecting the tax outcome to be!
The accountants were helpful and friendly, but they just didn't get the numbers right!

Hi Matthew,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that omissions in your initial tax refund calculations caused concern and frustration, before one of our senior accountants had completed their checks. It shouldn't be up to you to pick these things up and we apologise.
Accuracy is extremely important to us, and while we’re glad that your return was finalised with the correct outcome, we understand how unsettling it must have been. We take your feedback seriously and we’ll be reviewing this internally to ensure our quality controls are strengthened and to minimise the chance of this happening again.
When we received your review, we escalated your file to one our senior accountants. We understand they were able to get in touch with you last week to discuss your concerns and provide an explanation and resolution. Our senior accountant let us know you were happy with the outcome and your tax return was recently finalised. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions.
We sincerely hope your opinion of Etax has improved since you wrote your review. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve, and we truly appreciate you giving us the opportunity to finalise your return.
Kind regards,
Etax Accountants

Hi George,
We're really sorry to hear you're disappointed with the service you received from our team this year. Any time a client shares with us that they've had less than a 5 star experience, we want to do our best to make things right.
We'd like to have one of our senior accountants look into your file, to investigate what went wrong and get in touch with you to offer a resolution.
Could you please reply to our request for more information we sent through TrustPilot yesterday? Alternatively, please email us at feedback@etax.com.au and let us know the email address registered on your Etax account, so we can locate your file in our system?
We hope to hear from you soon, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Kind regards,
Etax Accountants
