Not a good experience. 10 minute appointment. No questions asked about deductions just trying to promote other services that they have available. Low tax return and cost was $250. Accountant is such a hurry to get me out the door didn't take bank details so now return has been issued from ATO via cheque

I couldn't be happier with the financial services that the adviser at AUSTAX Townsville provide. I have been with AUSTAX For the past 23 years. The attention to detail and that they patiently answered all my questions gave me peace of mind. I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Austax do not get the maximum tax credits back as advertised. In fact they tell you nothing and when you ask accountant where you can save on tax they say that's financial advise and you have to book an appointment with their financial advisor who then tell you to then tell the accountant. What a joke that's what accountants are there for but not at Austax. You get high accounting fees poor service and try and gouge further money out of you. This issue of concerns and service has been going on for years with me and when you challenge their performance and business ethics and credibility they refuse to do your tax which is quite humorous because they were already sacked. Austax you are a joke, you do not work for your clients to reduce tax liabilities unless there is more money in it for you. Totally disgusted in your service, expertise, skills and knowledge but you get 5 stars for the high costs and unprofessional conduct. I had to give you one star to post the review but in reality you do not get that from me as a business person myself.
