I have always hated doing my tax and have been delighted by the ease of doing it with Etax. Also the cost is minimal compared with the company I previously used. I appreciated the encouragement to get my return completed despite my avoidance. I had to laugh when I got the message to “stop avoiding doing my return”. Thank you for helping me through this process. Kind regards Lynne Power Show reply

I've used ETax before and even though my Tax return is fairly simple, as I'm a pensioner who works 1 day a week to supplement my pension, my refund was much better than I had tried on my own. They communicate quickly and kept me fully advised of the progress. Well worth the fee and having the peace of mind that your return is correct. Show reply

The pre- filled details from my managed funds has certainly made things easier and the rest of the process is simple. The reminders about the status of my return are very helpful. Show reply

It was easy to complete my tax return with eTax. The process was straightforward, and the system was simple to use. The only difficulty I experienced was accessing my desktop computer, as I was locked out and my receipt was stored there. Apart from that issue, lodging my tax return was quick and hassle-free. Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend eTax. Show reply

What was once a great service has turned into a fast, rushed, tick and flick operation. I've been an Etax customer for many years, so this isn't a first-impression complaint — I've watched the standard drop. My most recent return was handled with what felt like minimal effort and no real attention to detail. Even after speaking with a team leader… Read more

and providing the proper depreciation schedules and deductions, there were still errors holding up the lodgement. Back and forth messaging via their system is archaic, and for the part that appears to be automated it is annoying and nagging at best (nagging to sign or lodge return, without pending questions being responded to). For the rather large cost of poor management of my tax affairs, I think there is definite room to look for a better system or to just lodge myself. After sticking with them for years, I'm fed up. If you're after a rushed job and poor effort, Etax is good for this. If you want your return done accurately by someone who actually looks at your situation, go elsewhere.

Scammed me out of $3700+ aud when I didnt even live in Australia for 25+ years and moved back after my nasty childhood I had no control over. Thieving folk for sure.

Absolutely disgraceful. I uploaded over $10,000 worth of receipts, including work-related gifts, charitable donations, business contract expenses and other legitimate deductions. Less than 24 hours later, I was told my return had been “reviewed” and was ready to submit. There’s absolutely no way anyone genuinely reviewed that amount of… Read more

documentation in that timeframe. Even more concerning, my refund didn’t change by a single dollar after uploading all of those receipts. So what exactly was reviewed?

E-tax markets itself on maximising your tax return, but this experience suggests the receipts aren’t even being looked at. If that’s the standard of review, it’s nothing more than a box-ticking exercise.

This isn’t just frustrating—it’s concerning. People, especially business owners, pay for professional expertise because they expect someone to identify legitimate deductions and ensure nothing is missed. If my return was supposedly “reviewed” without any consideration of over $10,000 in supporting documents, it makes me seriously question how many thousands of dollars I’ve potentially missed out on over the years by trusting this service.

A quick turnaround means nothing if it’s rushed and inaccurate. I’d rather wait a week for someone to actually do their job than have my tax return rubber-stamped in less than a day.

I’ll be cancelling this return unless someone competent actually reviews it properly. Based on this experience, I won’t be using E-tax again.

Best way to go about tax return! Waited 3 years to get my tax back through ATO and only waited 12 days to receive it back through ETax. Amazing, will definitely be going through them again! Show reply

Once again I submitted my 2026 tax return through etax accountants, and once again, as in the past several years, they were 100% easy and helpful. Will certainly use their service in 2027. Show 2 replies

 Follow-up  · It was made both helpful and easy, as I was only required to provide minimum information to Etax Accountants, and they did the various calculations. My refund arrived within a very short period of time. I don't think I could provide the experts on any improvements.

Rubbish, they got all my private health insurance wrong even though they claimed it was imported.

Etax Accountants have been a great help again, in helping to fill in my tax return! What seems like a daunting task becomes a manageable one. Details concerning Private Health, for instance, can be completely taken out of one's hands, which is such a help! Thank you again! Show reply

Have been going through E-tax for many years. I don’t have much to claim however where possible, the team find extra monies not claimed that are within my rights (where I wouldn’t know) for an extra return. Needless to say, any return is a bonus. And the review system they use is excellent. Show reply

I do not recommend etax accountants unless it is a simple tax return, ie. lodging individual income tax return. If you're lodging a more complicated tax return that includes investments, side hustles, all done under sole trader ABN, then steer clear.
