Which pricing applies to you
Personal pricing covers returns where your income already exists on a document someone else issued. Your employer sends a PAYG income statement. Uber sends an annual tax summary. A property manager sends a rental statement. A broker sends a transaction report. Our job is to check it, apply the deductions you are entitled to, and lodge.

Signed by a registered tax agent
Maru Natarajan is a Fellow of CPA Australia and a registered tax agent. He reviews and signs every return that leaves us.
AffordBooksTax is the small business arm of PremierOne Tax & Accounting, so the same people who look after businesses all year also handle personal returns. You get a firm you can ring, not a submission form.
Haven't lodged in a while?
A few years behind is more common than you would think, and it is usually easier to fix than people expect. Each outstanding year is its own return, priced on what was in that year, so two years of wages-only returns is $298.
If there are penalties or an amount owing, we deal with the ATO about it rather than leaving you to.
Questions people ask
How long does it take?
Five business days from the point we have everything we need. Most of the wait is usually us waiting on a document, so the faster you get things across, the faster it's lodged. During July and August it can be slightly longer.
Do I need to come in or book a call?
No. The whole thing runs online. If you'd rather talk to someone you can, but nothing about the process requires it.
What if I have a rental property?
That's covered under personal pricing. Each property adds $150 to the base fee, or $100 from the third property onward. If you own it with someone else, the property is charged once and split by ownership share, so you're not paying twice for the same schedule.
What if I haven't lodged for several years?
We can lodge multiple years at once. Each year is a separate return at its own price. If the ATO has applied penalties or there's tax owing, we can talk to them on your behalf and arrange a payment plan if you need one.
When do you need my tax file number?
Not until after you've signed the engagement, and never through a contact form. We collect it through a secure channel once you've decided to go ahead.
Is the fee tax deductible?
Yes. What you pay a registered tax agent to prepare your return is deductible in the following year's return, under the cost of managing your tax affairs.
