Time and time again our clients tell us that, apart from it being fast and easy to use tax return, they love Etax.com.au because of its ease of access.
Why was it harder for Mac users to do taxes online?
The Australian Government’s E-tax- software requires installation on a Windows computer.
Since 2006 they have promised a Mac-friendly tax return, but even in 2011 there is no Mac-compatible option from the ATO.
On the other hand, the online tax return at Etax.com.au is accessible from any Internet-connected device, including Apple Mac computers, iPads and iPhones!
From anywhere in the world , using any computer (or even a tablet or mobile device), you can still access your tax return at Etax.com.au.
The online tax return is encrypted and locked just like an online banking connection, making your information safe and secure.
If you own a Mac, you don’t need to use the tedious paper-based tax returns or visit an accountant’s office. Simply visit Etax.com.au, register your details and you can process your tax return online – with some extra advantages.
Your return can be complete in as little as 15 minutes, from the comfort of your own home. Your details are double-checked by qualified accountants before lodging, with the aim of getting you a better refund… something else you won’t get using the ATO’s E-tax software. It is proven that using a tax agent service results in higher refunds and fewer ATO problems for most taxpayers, so the small fee is earned-back in dollars and in peace-of-mind.
So what are you waiting for? Start your online tax return today!
Tax return options for Mac users:
1. Hardest:
Install ‘Boot Camp’ or other virtualisation software on your Mac, then install a legal copy of Windows, then download & install the ATO’s software, then run all of this software together and complete your tax return.
2. Slowest:
Complete a printed tax return form (sorry, yes, with a pen) then wait for the ATO to process it.
(latest from the ATO: “planning to process 80% of paper returns within 42 days”)
