Pricing & FAQ’s

How it works, pricing, what documents you’ll need, due dates and more.
How Express Tax Works
Here’s how the Express Tax process works:

1) Gather your Income & Expenses – your documents, income and expense totals before you begin. You can find a full list of what you’ll need (and won’t need) on the Express Tax page.

2) Prepare your Spreadsheet – if you have an Airbnb, holiday rental or shared rental then we need you to fill in your income and expenses into the EasyBnbTax Ultimate Airbnb Spreadsheet (either the free version or full version is fine). If you don’t already have the free version you can download a copy here. If you have a traditional long-term rental property then the spreadsheet is not required.

3) Fill in the Express Tax Form – the Express Tax online form starts with your personal details, and then works through your employment income, other investment income, private health insurance and tax deductions. This should take you 15-30 minutes, depending on the complexity of your return.

4) Email your Documents – once you’ve submitted your Express Tax form, we’ll send further instructions on which documents we need you to email through, including your Ultimate Airbnb Spreadsheet. You don’t need to send your employee payment summaries, bank interest or private health insurance statement because the ATO will send these to us directly. You don’t need to send us your tax deduction receipts, you just need to file these at home in case the ATO request them.

5) Tax Return Processing – your tax return will be processed personally by Jess Murray CPA within two weeks (within three weeks during the peak of tax season). If Jess has any queries, needs more information, or has suggestions for extra tax deductions that you haven’t thought of, she’ll be in touch via email.

6) Review & Sign – once your tax return is complete we’ll email a copy for you to review and sign. We’ll also send your invoice, and payment is required before we can lodge your tax return.

7) Lodge to the ATO – once your return has been lodged, the ATO’s processing time is usually 12 business days. If you have a refund they’ll deposit it directly into your bank account. If you have tax to pay they’ll send details of your due date and how to pay.
