In-depth Guide: Making the Most of Tax Professionals — and Tax Essentials by Visa Type
Knowing when — and how — to use a tax agent makes a bigger difference than the size of any one refund. This guide is laid out in the order new migrants actually run into things: your first return by visa type, getting deductions right, then property, business and super refunds.
Choosing a Tax Agent and Fee Transparency
Working Out When You Actually Need a Tax Agent
If you've got a single salary job and simple deductions, lodging yourself through myTax is often all you need. But in a year where your income streams multiply (salary + dividends + rent + ABN business income), a year where selling property triggers CGT, or an arrival or departure year where your tax residency is murky, professional advice can be worth well more than the fee. As a rough guide: student visa holders tend to be simple, skilled migrants starting to invest sit in the middle, and business operators are high-complexity.
Checking Your Agent Is Registered (Tax Practitioners Board Register)
Anyone providing tax agent services for a fee in Australia must by law be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB), and anyone can look them up by name or registration number on the public Register at tpb.gov.au. Use an unregistered operator and you'll have little consumer protection if things go wrong. A common mistake: handing your TFN and myGov login to an unregistered broker off the back of a social media ad — that's an identity theft and fraudulent lodgment risk, so never share your myGov password with anyone, your tax agent included.
