Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a tax agent cost in Brisbane?

We believe in transparent pricing. For simple individual tax returns in Brisbane, our Brisbane office offers a fair, competitive base rate and adjusts the fee upward if your tax affairs are more complex. For example, involving rental properties, business income, or multiple income streams.. As local tax accountants, we’ll give you a quote upfront, so you’ll know the cost before we lodge your return.

Is it better to use a tax agent in Brisbane or lodge myself?

If your situation is simple you can lodge yourself. Many clients prefer a Brisbane tax agent for accurate lodgement, help with deductions and fewer hassles with the ATO. Our team provides practical tax advice that is Brisbane-based so your return is done right the first time.

Is a tax advisor in Brisbane worth it for small business?

Yes. A Brisbane tax advisor helps with tax planning, compliance, BAS lodgements, structuring income streams, cash flow forecasting, and meeting ATO deadlines. Simply Tax specialises in ongoing advisory support so that small businesses can focus more on operations and less on bookkeeping or compliance headaches.

What do tax consultants charge in Brisbane?

Fees vary depending on what you need help with. For straightforward tax returns such as employment income only, we usually offer fixed pricing. If your return includes extras like rental properties or investments, the cost reflects the extra detail required to get things right.

For more involved work such as calculating capital gains on a property sale, helping restructure a small business, or dealing with ATO reviews, pricing is based on the time and expertise involved. These services are usually billed hourly or quoted as a project once we understand what is needed.

At Simply Tax, we believe in being upfront. Before we start, we will talk through the scope, explain what is involved, and provide a clear quote. Whether it is a once-off task or ongoing support, you will always know where you stand on costs.

What is the difference between a tax agent and a tax accountant in Brisbane?

A tax agent is officially registered with the Tax Practitioners Board in Australia. This means they are legally authorised to prepare and lodge tax returns, represent you in dealings with the ATO, and offer tax advice that complies with Australian tax law. To become a registered tax agent, they must meet strict qualification, experience, and continuing education requirements.

A tax accountant, on the other hand, may have accounting qualifications and provide general financial services such as bookkeeping, reporting, or business advice. However, if they are not registered as a tax agent, they cannot legally lodge returns or provide certain types of tax advice on your behalf.

At Simply Tax, our team includes registered tax agents who also offer full accounting support. This means you get trusted, compliant tax services along with everyday financial guidance, all in one place.

How long do tax returns take with a Brisbane tax agent?

Most tax returns that are prepared correctly and lodged on time are processed by the ATO within about two weeks. This timeframe applies to individual tax returns without unusual activity or compliance concerns.

Returns may take longer if they include new or complex income sources, claims that require additional verification, or if the ATO selects the return for a random review. In some cases, processing can be delayed due to outstanding prior-year returns or data mismatches with employer or bank records.

At Simply Tax, we focus on accurate and complete lodgement to help avoid delays. Once we receive all your documents, we prepare and submit your return promptly to keep things moving and get your refund to you as soon as possible.

Can I use your Brisbane tax agents if I live outside Queensland?

Yes. We help clients Australia-wide, not just in Brisbane or Queensland. You can book secure online appointments with our team, and we handle all lodgements digitally. This means you get expert tax support from wherever you are, without needing to visit in person. Our team works with individuals and businesses across different states, offering the same care and accuracy whether you are local or remote.

Do you help with late lodgements or ATO letters?

Yes. As registered tax agents, we can assist if you have overdue tax returns or if you have received a letter from the ATO. This may include helping with penalties, setting up payment plans, or responding to compliance requests. We aim to keep the process calm and straightforward. Our team will work with you to bring your records up to date and get things back on track.

What information do I need for my initial consultation?

For your tax meeting, please have your current photo ID and your income documents such as your income statement or PAYG summary on hand. You should submit or be prepared to send us bank interest records, private health insurance details, and receipts or summaries of any work-related expenses. If you have rental income or run a small business, include those financial records as well. If you are unsure what applies to your situation, we will provide a clear checklist so nothing gets missed.

Why choose Simply Tax Solutions over big chains?

We are a family-owned firm based in Brisbane with a strong focus on personal service. Unlike large chains, you will always speak to someone who understands your situation. We offer clear and competitive pricing, practical advice, and support that is tailored to individuals and small businesses. Our clients value the friendly approach, consistent communication, and depth of experience we bring to every return.
