I am Ecstatic with Etax service.

I am Ecstatic with Etax service. They have got me more money back from the ATO than I was expecting. Unfortunately I had to use another accountant last year and that cost me $825 and very little return. Great job ETAX 👏 👍

Easy to navigate and use

Easy to navigate and use. just followed the questions and prompts and i then asked husband to check and submitted. I had to use my husband's Visa card to pay for this, and that was also very easy.
Thank you

Total incompetence

I’ve had an extremely frustrating experience with ETAX. I’ve spoken to at least 10 different agents, and every single one has given me a different answer. There is clearly no consistency or proper communication within their customer service team. I’ve now had to cancel my return twice due to their ongoing incompetence.

To make matters worse, the last agent told me that my tax return had already been lodged with the ATO. I double-checked this myself and found out that was completely incorrec, it has not been lodged. This level of misinformation is unacceptable, especially when it comes to something as important as your tax return.

I will never use this company again and cannot recommend them to anyone.

Hi Chantal,

We're sorry to hear you've been disappointed with our service this year. It doesn't sound like your initial experience has been up to our usual high standard, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. Any time a client has less than a 5 star experience, we always do our best to make things right.

As soon as we received your review, we escalated your file to one of our senior accountants. We understand they were able to get in touch with you yesterday to explain what's happened and offer a resolution. Our senior accountant has taken over your tax return, made a few adjustments and we understand you were happy with the outcome, so your return is now lodged.

We sincerely hope your opinion of Etax has improved since you first wrote your review. Thanks again for using our service and bringing this to our attention, we hope our team are able to assist you again next year.

Kind regards,
Etax Accountants
