Where can you find your Tax File Number?

You can usually find your TFN on an old payslip, your Notice of Assessment, or in your myGov account. If you still can’t spot it, you can call the ATO on 13 28 61.

How to claim Tax Return Australia?

To claim your tax refund in Australia, jump online with Tax Falcon. We auto-fill your details, you add your work-related expenses, and we lodge it.

Do I need a tax agent to do my taxes?

You don't have to use an agent, but using a registered tax agent like Tax Falcon gets you an extended lodgement deadline (until May 15th) and ensures you don't accidentally miss out on deductions or make costly mistakes.

How long does it take to complete an Online Tax Return?

With Tax Falcon, the whole process from sign-up to lodgement takes under 10 minutes. Our direct ATO connection pre-fills your data so you don't have to type it out.

Do I need my PAYG Payment Summary?

Nope! Forget digging through old emails. We connect straight to the ATO and automatically swoop up your income details into your return.

Once we lodge your return, the ATO usually takes 10-14 business days to process it and drop the cash into your account. Prior-year returns can take up to 30 days.

What is a tax deduction?

A tax deduction is a work-related expense that reduces your taxable income. This means you pay less tax, which ultimately boosts your tax refund.

Do you still need to lodge if you earned under the tax-free threshold?

Usually, yes — especially if tax was withheld from your pay. Lodging your return is how you check whether you’re due money back. Quick win: if your employer took out tax during the year, it’s worth lodging.

Is it safe to lodge my tax return online?

Yes. Tax Falcon uses bank-level encryption to protect your data. We connect securely directly to the ATO, ensuring your personal and financial information is locked down.

I put in the wrong bank details

No stress! Message us instantly through your Tax Falcon inbox. We’ll verify your identity and help you update your bank details before the ATO sends your cash to the wrong place

When can I lodge my Tax Return?

The Australian tax year runs from 1 July to 30 June. You can start lodging your return from July 1st onward.

How It Works

A Three-Step Glide To Your Refund

Your tax refund will be sent directly to your nominated bank account once processed. Curious how much you'll get back? Estimate it in seconds with our free tax calculator.

⚠ This inline “tax calculator” link points to /tax-calculator, but the standalone Tax Return Calculator page reviewed earlier in this session declares its own canonical URL, in its own schema.org JSON-LD, as /tools/tax-return-calculator — a different path. This is another instance of the same cross-page URL-mismatch pattern already flagged on the Pricing and Investor/Property/Sole-Trader pages: worth confirming which path is the real, live calculator page.

01 — Link & Pre-Fill

Create your free account in seconds flat. We securely connect to the ATO and pull your income data in automatically.

02 — Add Your Deductions

Answer a handful of simple questions and we calculate everything, flagging deductions most people miss completely.

03 — Review & Lodge

Check everything over, then submit with one tap. We keep the whole process smooth, secure, and stress-free.

Learn More

✓ This “Learn More” link correctly matches the “How Tax Falcon Works” hub page reviewed earlier in this session — a clean cross-reference, unlike the tax-calculator link above.

Why Do Your Taxes with Tax Falcon?

Built for speed. Designed for simplicity.

The 5-Minute Flight to Finish

We've stripped every second of wasted time out of the process. Most users are done before they finish a cup of coffee.

Zero Jargon, Zero Stress

We translated the tax code into human. No “Schedules” or “Sub-sections”—just clear, easy questions.

Lodge from the Clouds

Tax Falcon is mobile-first. Lodge your return from your couch, your commute, or your favorite cafe.

Absolute Precision

Speed doesn't mean shortcuts. Our experienced agents and Falcon-Vision AI ensures your return is accurate and your refund is maximised.

⚠ The 5-vs-10-minute inconsistency flagged in the earlier version of this page is still unresolved here. The hero, the “Deep Breath” CTA, and the final testimonial CTA all say “10 minutes” / “10-Minute Return”, while this section still calls it “The 5-Minute Flight to Finish” and the comparison section below still says “A 5-minute glide”.

Save now, lodge later

Not ready to lodge? No worries.

You don't need everything perfect on day one. Create your free Tax Falcon account to keep all your tax docs, receipts, and pre-filled ATO data in one safe place. When you are ready to claim your refund, you'll be just a few clicks away.

Create My Account

✓ This button now links straight to the real registration page rather than an in-page "#signup" anchor as in some sibling pages — a real, working external link.

The Comparison

Stop Paying For Their Office Space

Traditional accountants pass their rent, staff and paperwork onto you. Tax Falcon cuts the overhead so more of your refund lands where it belongs — in your account.

“The Office Dinosaurs” (generic competitor, not named)

Effort: Days of stress

Cost: Office overheads baked in

“With Tax Falcon” (badge: The Smarter Choice)

Effort: A 5-minute glide
Refund: Guaranteed Max
Language: Simple English
Questions: Only what matters
Cost: No office, lower fees

Choose Tax Falcon

Pricing

Simple. Transparent. Fast.

Only $88 — Standard Tax Return

A straightforward standard tax return for employees and everyday earners.

Direct ATO pre-fill
Fast online lodgement
Certified tax-agent review
Maximum refund guarantee
Reduced to $25 for Nil Return lodgements

Button: "Start My Student Tax Return"

⚠ This is the same mislabeled button flagged in the earlier version of this page — it has NOT been fixed. The $88 “Standard Tax Return” card's button still reads “Start My Student Tax Return”, copy-pasted from the Student card below it, even though the inline “standard tax return” link just above it correctly points to the Standard product page.

✓ The “Reduced to $25 for Nil Return lodgements” line is still present and still not corroborated by the standalone Standard Tax Return page — same open question as before.

Only $69 — Student Tax Return

An affordable student tax return for eligible full-time students.

Direct ATO pre-fill
Fast online lodgement
Certified tax-agent review
Help with eligible student deductions
Maximum refund guarantee

Button: "Do My Student Tax Online"

From $229 — Sole Trader, Property, or Investor Tax Return

Your sole trader tax return, property tax return or investor tax return, with expert review.

Professional tax-agent review
Applicable Schedules.

Button: "Start Advanced Return"

✓ This is a genuine improvement over the earlier version of this page: the $229 card's description now links out to all three confirmed standalone product pages (sole-trader-tax-return, property-tax-return, investor-tax-return) by name, rather than silently treating them as one bundled product. The card itself still funnels to a single generic “Start Advanced Return” registration button, but at least the reader can now click through to the specific page that matches their situation.

Note: Pay only when you're ready to lodge

Note: Tax refunds paid directly into your bank account

⚠ The randomuser.me placeholder photo issue flagged in the earlier version of this page is also still unresolved: all three testimonial avatars are still fake, fictional-person images from randomuser.me, attached to real-looking customer names.
