When it comes to tax time, only around one in four Aussies choose to lodge their own tax return. Because the ATO receives around 10 million tax returns every year, that means 7.5 million people don’t trust their own ability when it comes to lodging the best tax return possible. That is a pretty big number of people who have to seek out the services of an accountant or tax agent. No wonder the tax agent industry is booming. But what if there was a better way to make sure you claim every possible deduction to which you are entitled? What if there was a way to not only see what your tax position is like all year round but also lodge the most optimal and accurate tax return for your circumstances without having to fork out for accountant fees?
There is.
Why aren’t more people using myTax to lodge their tax returns?
When tax time rolls around every year, some people get a bit overwhelmed. And they might even find themselves doing silly things. Lost receipts, incorrect calculations, and missing claimable deductions aside, there is an easy and accurate way to lodge your own tax return. Sure, you can find your own way through the ATO’s myTax online system. But doing so without any guidance or support means you are essentially relying on your own knowledge of Australian Tax Law when completing your tax return. That is why so many people turn to accountants. They can find all the deductions that apply in your unique circumstances, as well as ensure you are not inadvertently flouting the rules.
Yet there exists an even better way to ensure you are maximising your tax return come tax time. A way that allows you to use MyTax to its optimum. A way that means not having to pay accountant fees. And you can do it all yourself.
