One Happy Camper

I have used Etax for the last couple of years and am thoroughly satisfied with their expertise in ensuring that I am not overpaying any tax funds due. They ensure that I have provided all of the necessary data for the ATO to provide an accurate assessment of my income and deductions. I am also pleased with the ease in which they make the process to lodge my tax return. I have become a regular customer and anticipate that I will continue to use Etax in the future.

Stress Free Tax

ETax experience is a positive and a stress free way to complete your Tax return.
I have used this company for the last few years and have always found them very helpful.
Everything is set out very well on the site and is easier to navigate to find the information you want.
It is also a bonus that two accountants check your return before they lodge it with the ATO ensuring that it is accurate and hopefully you get the best return possible.

Very disappointing service

Very disappointing service. Have been a client for some years but this year - weeks to reply. Customer Service disconnects Chat, assessment delayed and yet they still insist on a Lodgement Fee for this “service” disappointing bordering on criminal. In their ow words they are swamped with work and don’t have the resources and yet they’re vigorously advertising!

Now they are lying in their responses!

Hi Matt,

We’re sorry to read that your experience this year has not met the high standards we set for ourselves.

Any time we hear from a client who is unhappy, we do our best to reach out to them to try and make things right.

We can see on your file our tax manager attempted to give you a call and an update on where things stand however, we were unable to reach you.

We do apologise for any frustration caused this year Matt, and we thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Kind Regards,
Etax Accountants
