They took $404.80 from my tax refund…
They took $404.80 from my tax refund but didn’t tell me clearly why. I kept asking for a breakdown or invoice, but they never gave me one. All they said was, “We gave you a one-hour refund of $175,” like that explains everything — but it doesn’t.
On their website, it says:
• Simple tax return is $132
• If your refund is under $299, the fee is $88
• If your refund is $300–$500, the fee is $110
So for my case, they should have charged me around $220, not $404. That’s a big difference!
When I called them, they were rude to me and even hung up the phone while I was still talking. They didn’t care about my questions or concerns.
Also, they went into my ATO account without asking me, changed my bank and address, and took the refund straight into their own account — even though I never gave permission this year. They only had permission last year.
Please don’t trust them. Don’t even start talking to them. They take more money than they should, don’t explain things, and treat you badly when you ask for help. I really regret using their service.
