1 Feelings  · Poor communication, completely unsatisfied with the results, not properly job.
1 Matt F  · Frauds! Lied to me for over 2 months. Kept my return. Then blocked my mobile number. Stay away
1 Avi  · They tend to give higher estimates and are quite lazy. It’s very hard to get hold of them, and they don’t acknowledge messages.
1 Dashti patel  · It is scam I agree they estimate more and after give you less.
1 Russ  · Currently sending out fake estimates. I got two different different ones both totally made up and not representative of my situation
4 Murray M.  · Quick pain less easy to follow instructions and easy steps from start to finish

Scammer's. I used them a once in Blacktown a few year's ago. I went to the office and something felt off. Got some money on the spot,then took a couple of week's to get the rest. Now I'm not accusing them,but it seems funny that somebody redone my tax for that year and claimed just over $12,000. So every year now,I have to wait longer to get a refund and they've got the hide to cotinuosly send me text's. Never use them.

I would have given it no stars if I could. I only went to there website if I could. I just googled Tax Returns and saw this company. I didn't get in touch with them they got in touch with me through WhatsApp and I don't even know how to use WhatsApp. I told her I had never used WhatsApp and the woman said she would walk me through it. I never gave… Read more

them my TFN so I don't know how they got all my information. She made out that the Tax Dept would fine me if I didn't do it that day. She was very forcefully. I kept asking how much they charge but she kept changing the subject. I am a pensioner and really worried how much they are going to charge. I must have asked her at least 10 times to phone me on a normal phone. I would definately NOT use this Company. I believe they are a SCAM so please do not use them or even read their reviews as they can somehow get all your details without giving them the information. PLEASE DON'T EVEN GO ANYWHERE NEAR THEIR WEBSITE.

Fraudulent, thieving establishment – Unauthorised access to ATO account & changed bank details to their trust account. I have lodged a complaint on the Taxation board website. I encourage everyone on here to lodge their complaints. I strongly believe after searching their ABN historical businesses that are now closed have given them access to customer details, basically using previous authorisations to gain access to ATO accounts.

Don't use this company – The free tax refund calculator is a scam. They ask for personal info, then access ATO info. Then hound you with emails and texts trying to get you to CLICK HERE. If you do, they lodge your return and charge hundreds of dollars.

Tax refund on the spot, Very Unprofessional, they give false and misleading information, the estimate they sent was wrong by $1500 but they were still very quick to take more money fromy refund they don't tell you about. They also kept changing my… Read more

personal details on my ATO account without my knowledge even after I changed my details back they still took it upon themselves to change them again to the point I had to ring the ATO multiple times to lodge a complaint.

My advice is do not bother wasting your time with Tax refund on the spot, they suck you in take what they want and they think they can take over your account and do what they want.

 Follow-up  · They did not help or give any reason to why they kept changing my details, I tried communicating with them via email and phone calls they were very rude avoiding direct questions and then would hang up the phone, extremely unprofessional. My personal details they kept changing were my banking details, they repeatedly changed my banking details… Read more

For the past few years I've been using Tax Return On Spot. Their service was quick and excellent. But for the last two years I have noticed a decline in their services. This I understand is because they are under new management. Now their service is appalling and I will never require their services again. I have now found a much better tax agent who is much efficient.

I recently received a call from a company claiming that I had been audited by the Australian Taxation Office and that there was incorrect information in my tax return. They told me I had to pay the money back immediately and asked me to transfer the payment directly to them. At first, everything seemed legitimate. Their website looked… Read more

professional and they even appeared to be registered as a tax agent with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). However, before making any payment, I decided to verify the information directly with the ATO.

After contacting the ATO, they confirmed that I had not been audited at all and that no such request had been made. This clearly indicated that the call and payment request were misleading and potentially a scam.

I have now filed a formal complaint with the ATO regarding this matter.

I’m sharing this experience to warn others: always verify any tax-related claims directly with the ATO before making any payments, even if the company appears legitimate online.

Fraudulent Company – Beware! I had a terrible experience with this company. They lodged my tax return without my approval, which is a clear case of fraud. When I complained, they simply replied that they had my ID and bank details, but that does not mean I authorized them to file my tax return with the ATO. Even worse, they know exactly which… Read more

account received my tax refund but refuse to disclose it. Instead of helping me recover my hard-earned money, they are ignoring my concerns. This is an ID takeover scam, and they have stolen my tax refund.

I strongly warn others to stay away from this company. They are dishonest and untrustworthy.

Mental health challenges trying ti get usekess TOB to investigate And. Ato ti stop them – These scammers have registered themselves unauthorised. By buying my identity details from hackers, as my tax agent 5 times after being removed every time. They are reported to every authority with their corrupt practices.. soon a physical visit. If they truly have an office, will be required

Dodgy – Whatever you do, don't use. They are incompetent and dodgy. If you use them once they do not stop calling in subsequent years. I have emailed them, blocked their number (but they still leave voicemail) and I am at my wits end to stop these people contacting me. If the constant calls were not bad enough I received a call from the ATO saying they… Read more

made an adjustment to a previous year's tax return without my knowledge or consent but used the wrong form! Stay far away!

It is a Scam. Stay Away – They are scammers who will not leave me alone! They submitted my personal TAX without my consent. They forcefully replaced my current tax agent with themselves. This has happened on two separate occasions! They will even take a fee/cut when they are not authorized to be my tax agent! Stay away from these criminals! You can formally submit a… Read more

SCAM SCAM SCAM – Disgusting. No phone numbers are connected and using the website was the most dodgy experience I’ve had. They text you from many different mobile numbers and none of the contact information provided in them work. To be honest, for a scam this is even low - I would rate the scam at 1 out of 10.
