Testimonial

My name is Jordan and I am a developer. Last year I lodged my tax return without the help of an accountant and only claimed a $50 tax deduction for a mouse. I have since learned that I was able to claim substantially more hardware and equipment that I purchased during the year. If I had known more about what sorts of tax deductions I can make, I could’ve claimed an additional $5,000 in tax deductions! This would have increased my tax refund by about $1,500!

This application has given me helpful information to ensure I can maximise my tax deductions to get the biggest tax refund I am entitled to.
