Do you need a tax agent or an accountant? Not sure? Here’s our handy guide to help.

Do you need to submit tax returns? Need to comply with statutory regulations?  You want a tax agent. You can find one here.

Tax agents are qualified by the Tax Practitioners Board. They’ll help you with advice about your liabilities, obligations and entitlements under taxation law. Your friendly tax agent can even deal with the Tax Commissioner on your behalf.

Perhaps you need to get your taxes sorted, but you also want some financial advice. An accountant is what you need. You can find one here.

An accountant can help you with financial planning, superannuation or setting up a self-managed super fund. They can help you sort out your tax returns for both personal and business and they can arrange the purchase or lease of business assets and even find legitimate ways to help you reduce your tax bill.
