Tax Relief - Kew East (VIC)

5 /5 Nathan Poulos: Have been using John for a number of years and his professionalism and knowledge is absolutely top notch. He looks at every aspect of your tax return and fully explains in real life terms what you need to know and how these things relate to you financially. Great job.

5 /5 Kelvin Li: John is very friendly and professional. We have been using him for more than 3 years for our tax return.

5 /5 Andrew Parkin: Top service. Tax affairs made pain-free and John is so pleasant I look forward to my annual visit.

5 /5 Chelsea Rogerson: Ive been with John for almost a decade now, and he makes tax time a pain-free and pleasant process. Ive referred over a dozen colleagues and family members, all of whom still utilise his services. I always leave his office comfortable in the knowledge that Ive both maximised my return and my paperwork has been lodged accurately with the ATO.

1 /5 Michael P: Summary: an unprofessional tax accountant – avoid. Details: here are the key points of my unfortunate encounter with this business: When I signed my tax return prepared by Tax Relief / John Schofield, I expected that was the end of tax preparation and that I will receive my ATO assessment notice in a couple of weeks (I also immediately paid him, which in the hindsight probably was a mistake). However, John did nothing for seven weeks after Id signed my tax return. I sent three emails and left several voice messages inquiring about the status of the return during those seven weeks – none of them were answered. Eventually I was forced to visit Johns office as all other means of communication were ignored - only that made him lodge the return with ATO. Once I received the tax assessment notice from ATO, it was incorrect and showed that both my salary and tax were entered twice (first as a salary and second as personal services income) and thus doubled up. I notified John about the issue and asked him to fix the tax return; the request was ignored. After waiting for a week, I had to fix my tax return myself with help of an ATO officer. The short of it is that it took seven weeks and multiple reminders to lodge my tax return, and when it was discovered that the resulting ATO assessment had issues it was ignored. "Tax Relief" is cheaper than other accountants, but I strongly suggest that you will be much better off paying more for services of a tax accountant who answers emails/phones, does the job within reasonable timeframe and without reminders, and follows up issues if they are discovered.
