Rubbish, they got all my private health insurance wrong even though they claimed it was imported. I tried to reach out and they were adamant it was correct. they said I had no return and had to pay them $85 for the return which they would normally claim out of my return. I ended up doing a comparison directly on ATO and got $1000 return which was… Read more ·  3

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.

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

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

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.
