When you mention that you can claim your tax back through ROS online and they ban you from commenting on their posts ever again 🙂

  1. And if you sign up with them one year, they’ll still your agent on the Revenue system, so they will do future tax returns for you even if you intended to do it yourself and collect fees for doing so. They’ll also try to apply for credits that you aren’t eligible for, and for which you will be responsible for if you get audited.

  2. Their business model is based on peoples ignorance and lazyness.

    In truth, if that was my company and some lad started publically telling everyone how what I was selling wasn’t that special? I’d do the same thing.

    Anyway, it’s a paid for advertisement on a private website.
    Just like reddit, you have no actual rights & are only there because they allow it.

  3. It’s a scam. But it’s a legal scam that relies on people’s lack of knowledge of the tax system and how easy it is to do yourself.

  4. It’s no different to commenting on the post of a restaurant “you could have cooked this yourself at home and saved money”

  5. I think American media has influenced people into thinking taxes are this complex, insanely difficult thing. And yeah if you run a business they can be and you might be best off hiring an accountant, but if you’re a PAYE worker it’s so simple.

    I’ve helped a relative get tax back for private medical procedures and it was just a case of scanning and uploading documents like receipts. I was one of the people who overpaid tax in 2021 and all I had to do to get it was to confirm/review the info they had on me and agree it was correct.

  6. Right, I’m gonna say it and will probably get down voted for this, but I keep seeing people say “it’s so easy to do it yourself”, and I feel like a thick for saying this, but I have no clue how.

    I have logged in to my ROS account and checked things out, but it’s not very clear how/what to do.

    Is there a tutorial online anywhere? 🤣

  7. I once lived with an accountant who paid for this service every year because he couldn’t do it himself. Bizzare.

  8. so how can i do this myself exactly? is there a tutorial i can follow on how to do this myself?

  9. While you can and their not very useful for most people. They can act as an agent for people looking to process more complex taxes.

  10. Is there a way to remove them from my account, i used them last year and I wanna do it myself this year

  11. Just like people on visas in Oz getting private entities to do their taxes for upwards of 25% is a sure sign of cunts being lazy cunts. Fill out your forms, tick the boxes, SAVE YOUR INFO, and then you’re done. Literally nothing to it ***and*** all you have to do the next time is press the big “give me money” button.
