Local Tax Accountants in Coolaroo

Fast, accurate returns for Coolaroo employees

After a full shift, the last thing anyone wants is a second job doing their own tax. So here is our promise to Coolaroo workers: one appointment, under an hour, done properly.

We prepare returns for the people who work hard around here: warehouse and logistics staff, factory workers, drivers, cleaners, retail and hospitality staff, aged care workers and apprentices. Your accountant pulls your income details straight from the ATO, asks the right questions about your job, and lodges only when you have seen and approved every figure.

RPS Accountants is a registered tax practice led by Ravinder Paul Singh, a Chartered Accountant and registered tax agent with extensive experience across personal and corporate accounting. Fast should never mean careless, and with us it never does.

Which work expenses can you actually claim?

The rule sounds simple: you spent the money yourself, it relates to earning your income, and you can show a record. The tricky part is knowing what that covers in your job. Here is what it looks like for the work Coolaroo locals actually do:

Warehouse, factory and logistics

Steel cap boots, hi-vis and other protective gear, laundry of work uniforms, licence renewals like forklift tickets, and union fees. If you drive between sites or depots during your shift, those kilometres count too.

Drivers and couriers

Vehicle running costs for work travel, tolls and parking on the job, phone used for dispatch, and sunglasses if you are on the road all day. A simple logbook can turn a small claim into a serious one.

Retail, hospitality and care workers

Compulsory uniforms and their laundry, first aid and RSA style certificates, registration fees, and any courses that upgrade the skills you use in your current role.

Anyone working from home

A set rate for every hour you work from home, covering power, internet and phone, or a share of your actual bills if your records support it. We calculate both and claim the better result.

Not sure whether something counts? Keep the receipt and bring it in. It only takes a minute to check, and the answer is yes more often than people expect.

Individuals, sole traders and families welcome

No two returns that come through our door look the same, and that is exactly how we like it.

Employees get every workplace deduction checked. Sole traders get business income, expenses and BAS handled alongside their personal return. Families get both returns done in one sitting, with offsets, Medicare levy and spouse details lined up so neither return costs the other money.

First tax return ever? We will walk you through it step by step, in plain English, and set you up so next year is even easier.

Book your appointment this week

Tax returns pile up the longer they wait, and refunds do not collect interest sitting at the ATO. The sooner you book, the sooner it is off your mind.

We keep appointments open each week for Coolaroo clients, and same day slots are often available if you call in the morning. Meet us in person at our Epping office, ten minutes up the road with parking at the door, or do the whole thing by phone or video from home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a Registered Tax Agent with the TPB?

Yes. RPS Accountants is registered with the Tax Practitioners Board, Registered Tax Practitioner No. 26161185, and the practice is led by Ravinder Paul Singh, a Chartered Accountant and registered tax agent. Only a registered agent can legally charge to prepare and lodge your return, so it is always worth checking before you hand over your details. You can verify our registration on the TPB public register any time.

How long does a tax return usually take?

The appointment itself usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and most returns are lodged the same day once you have approved them. After that, the ATO typically pays refunds within two weeks, straight into your account. If your return is more involved, say a rental property or a first year on an ABN, we will tell you upfront how long it will take.

Can you deal with the ATO on my behalf?

Yes, that is one of the biggest advantages of using a registered tax agent. Letters, reviews, audits, payment plans and overdue lodgements all become our conversation with the ATO instead of yours. You stay informed at every step, but you never have to sit on hold or decode tax office language alone.
