Fixed fees. Confirmed before we start.
When you become a client, we start by listening: what’s changed, what’s worrying you, and what you want from the year. Then we run an ATO health check across your lodgements, any debts and any notices, so nothing is missed. Only then do we confirm your fee in writing, suited to your situation, before any work begins*.
No jargon. No surprises. No wondering if you left money on the table.

New to Perth? Your Australian tax, sorted.
How you’re taxed here depends on your residency for tax purposes, not just your visa. Some people must declare income from all over the world. Others are taxed only on what they earn in Australia. We work out which applies to you first, then confirm your fee.
Settled here, with income from home
You’re a permanent resident or citizen working in Perth, with income still coming from overseas. For example, interest, dividends, rent or a pension from the country you moved from.
For a straightforward return with foreign income.
- Worldwide income declared and converted to Australian dollars
- Foreign income tax offset claimed for tax already paid overseas. It isn’t applied automatically.
- Australia’s tax treaty with your home country checked
- Foreign pension deductions applied where available
- Email questions during the year
Working here on a temporary visa
Sponsored, graduate or other temporary work visa, with Australian wages only.
- Your tax residency confirmed. It decides how you’re taxed.
- Whether the temporary resident rules apply. If they do, most overseas income generally isn’t taxed here.
- Standard work deductions claimed
- ATO notices handled for you
- Email questions during the year
Working holiday makers
Backpackers and working holiday makers, taxed under the working holiday maker rules.
One employer. More than one employer: add $55.
- 15% rate on your first $45,000 checked against what was withheld. There’s no tax-free threshold.
- Employer registration checked. Unregistered employers withhold more tax.
- Work deductions claimed
- How to claim your super back when you leave Australia
- Email questions during the year
Fees include GST and are confirmed in writing after our ATO health check. Foreign income beyond a straightforward return, such as foreign property sales or overseas super, is quoted separately.
Additional tax services & other costs
Some tax returns involve additional schedules, reviews or specialised tax matters that fall outside a standard return. Where extra work is required, any additional fees will be discussed with you before work commences.
Once we have a clear understanding of your circumstances and have completed our ATO health check, you will receive a transparent, all-inclusive quote covering all services required, with no surprises.
| Service | Fee | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Rental property schedule | $250from, per property | Rent, interest, depreciation, repairs, agent fees and every other deduction for each investment property. Added to your return fee. |
| Capital gains: shares & ETFs | $150from | Sale of listed shares, ETFs or managed funds. We match the right parcels, apply the 50% discount where it applies, and get the gain or loss right. |
| Capital gains: property & crypto | $350from | Sale of an investment property or other complex event, with full cost base workings. Crypto is quoted on what we see: number of transactions and quality of records. |
| ATO debt & payment plan | $350from | We work out where you stand, set up a payment plan you can actually keep, and deal with the ATO for you. |
| Non-lodgement advice | $85fixed | If you didn’t need to lodge (for example, income under the tax-free threshold), we confirm it and tell the ATO formally, so the year is closed off. |
Email questions during the year are included with every return. If a question turns into work, we quote you before we start.
