Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an online tax return cost?
GoTax online tax returns start from $35. More complex returns involving investments, rental properties, ABNs, contractors or small businesses may have different pricing. You only pay for the level of tax return you need.
How long does an online tax return take?
Many Australians can complete their online tax return in 15 to 30 minutes. The exact time depends on your income sources, tax deductions and whether you have investments, rental properties or business income.
What tax deductions do people commonly miss?
Commonly missed tax deductions include working from home expenses, phone and internet costs, union fees, professional memberships, self-education expenses, tools and equipment. Missing legitimate tax deductions can reduce your refund.
Do I need receipts?
You should keep records for any tax deductions you claim. GoTax does not normally need to see your receipts, but you should retain them in case additional information is required or the ATO requests evidence.
Can I claim working from home expenses?
Many employees can claim working from home tax deductions if they incur eligible expenses while performing their work duties from home. The amount you can claim depends on your circumstances and records.
Can I claim motor vehicle expenses?
You may be able to claim motor vehicle tax deductions where your travel is directly related to earning your income. Ordinary travel between home and work is generally not deductible.
How do I know if I've claimed everything?
Many taxpayers are unsure whether they have claimed every available tax deduction. GoTax guides you through common deduction categories and every return is reviewed by registered tax agents before lodgement.
Why is my return checked?
Every GoTax return is checked by registered tax agents before lodgement. This review helps identify common mistakes, missing information and potential tax deductions that may have been overlooked.
What happens if I make a mistake?
If information is incorrect or incomplete, the review process may identify the issue before lodgement. If a mistake is discovered later, amendments can often be made depending on the circumstances.
Can I complete my return from overseas?
Yes. Many Australians living, working or travelling overseas complete their tax returns online. Your residency status and income sources may affect your tax position.
When will I get my refund?
Tax refunds are issued by the ATO, not GoTax. Most refunds are received within 6 to 10 working days after lodgement, although processing times can vary.
Is GoTax secure?
Yes. GoTax uses secure systems and encryption technology to help protect your information. Your tax return is also reviewed by registered tax agents before lodgement.
