Maybe they’re aware of deductions you are eligible for, which you might otherwise have missed. This isn’t cut and dried, you might be well aware of your deduction eligibility. If you’re not certain, however, you might feel... more comfortable using an accountant. Competency of accountants Ensure you’re using a certified accountant, and you can be almost certain that your tax will be completed effectively and without errors. This can be especially important if your tax is more complex than one income and deductions. Save money by eliminating the possibility of mistakes. Complexity of tax return and ‘opportunity cost’ Tax accountants are qualified to deal with capital gains, negative gearing and complex deductions, areas which might be overwhelming for DIY.
