Tax Agents
Compare local tax agents and book online in seconds.
Anyone charging a fee to prepare or lodge tax returns in Australia must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board, so checking the TPB register is the first step before handing over your financials. Beyond registration, the right agent depends on your situation: a simple salary return, a sole trader with deductions to maximise, or a company juggling GST and payroll obligations.
OneBookPlus shows tax agents' services, locations and reviews in one place, and lets you book an appointment straight into their calendar, which matters during the July to October rush. Bookings are confirmed instantly with reminders, so you are far less likely to drift past a lodgment deadline.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Tax Agent
- Confirm registration on the Tax Practitioners Board register; unregistered preparers cannot legally charge for tax services.
- Match their client base to your needs: individuals, sole traders, companies and SMSFs require different expertise.
- Ask for a fixed fee for standard returns rather than open-ended hourly billing.
- Being on a registered agent's books usually extends your lodgment deadline well past 31 October.
- Check they ask real questions about your deductions rather than rushing you through in minutes.
- Year-round availability matters if the ATO queries or reviews your return months later.
Questions to ask before you book
Frequently asked questions
How do I check a tax agent is registered?
Search the Tax Practitioners Board register online using their name or registration number. Registration is a legal requirement for anyone charging a fee for tax agent services, and it carries obligations including professional indemnity insurance and a code of conduct. If a paid preparer is not on the register, walk away.
What is the deadline advantage of using a tax agent?
Self-lodgers must generally file by 31 October, but clients of registered tax agents receive extended deadlines under the agent's lodgment program, often stretching to May the following year. You need to be on the agent's client list before 31 October to qualify, so book in even if you are not ready to lodge.
Is a tax agent different from an accountant?
An accountant may hold CA or CPA qualifications and provide advisory, bookkeeping and management accounting, but only TPB-registered tax agents can charge to prepare and lodge returns. Many practitioners are both. For lodgments, check TPB registration; for broader business advice, weigh their qualifications and experience with businesses like yours.
