We’ve been working with Rafal for the past two years, and I couldn’t be happier with his services. He’s incredibly reliable, always professional, and takes the time to explain things in detail. One of the best parts is that he speaks both Polish and English, which makes communication a breeze. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy accountant!

I have been using the Tax Accounting Group for over one year. I am very pleased with the professionalism of Rafal’s services. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of passion for his work. As a small business owner I highly recommend the Tax Accounting Group to anyone who wants outstanding tax services.

Raf has been taxing care of my company’s tax for the last few years. A big positive change from the previous two tax agencies I had tried. Raf takes a personal, hands-on attitude – I feel as though he treats my company accounting as though it were his own. Raf is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

It was such a relief for me to let Raf do all of my tax return in the past few years. There is alot of thing I don’t know about doing a proper tax return. Since I used Raf’s service, I received a much bigger return that I had previously. One less thing to worry about every financial year: check!

I’ve been through several different accountants in the past and no other accountant put so much time and effort into understanding my family businesses including our complex family business structure than Tax Accounting Group and Raf in particular. My family had overdue returns, my businesses had messy accounts (despite paying bookkeppers) and I always felt like I was overpaying my taxes. Raf and his team not only brought all my accounts up to date and prepared all my outstanding business returns but Raf also made sure I understood what he was doing. He even found some errors in my already lodged tax returns and amended them saving me a couple of thousands! Raf is very responsive and would always promptly answer every question I had. He knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. Thank you for your hard work!

I have used Raf for my personal tax returns over the past couple of years. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding the process and made suggestions on things we could claim for that my wife and I never even considered previously. I have typically taken a DIY stance when it came to tax returns prior to going through Tax Accounting Group; though this often meant i only got to claim back a couple of hundred dollars in previous years. This time i got a $3000 refund and last year $2500. So for the price I paid for engaging Raf to do my last couple of tax returns, it was worth it many times over. Definitely recommend others to use them and in doing so support this local small business.
Individual Tax Return Accountant in Sydney
A personal tax return can look simple until the details start to matter.
One job becomes two. A rental property is added. Work-from-home claims change. Shares, dividends, crypto, foreign income, side income or investment expenses appear. A refund looks smaller than expected, or a tax bill appears when you thought everything had already been withheld from wages.
I’m Rafal Slowinski, Director of Tax Accounting Group Pty Ltd. I prepare and lodge individual tax returns for people in Sydney who want the return handled properly, explained clearly and checked before it is sent to the ATO.
This page is for personal tax clients who do not want to click through a return and hope the result is right.

For an individual tax return, that matters because the right result depends on the full picture.
A return is not only about wages and a few deductions. It may involve income from several sources, records that support each claim, private-use adjustments, investment income, rental property details, capital gains, foreign income or prior-year issues that need to be understood before lodgement.
Not Every Return Is A Click-Through Job
Some personal tax returns are straightforward. Others only look straightforward until the questions begin.
Was all income included?
Were work-related expenses actually connected to earning income?
Are the records strong enough to support the claim?
Did a rental property create a loss, profit or capital gains tax issue?
Has a side activity become taxable income?
Did foreign income or overseas tax need to be reported?
Does pre-filled information need to be checked before lodgement?
These questions matter because a tax return should not rely on assumptions.
If something is missing, duplicated, overclaimed or misunderstood, the return may need to be corrected later. It is better to slow the process down before lodgement than to deal with an avoidable ATO issue afterwards.
Individual Tax Return Preparation in Sydney
Individual tax return preparation in Sydney should provide more than just a final number.
It should give you an explanation of what has been included, what has not been claimed, what records support the return and why the refund or tax payable looks the way it does.
I can help with salary and wage income, work-related deductions, work-from-home expenses, motor vehicle claims, investment income, rental property income, capital gains tax, foreign income, private health insurance details, Medicare levy matters, HELP debt considerations and prior-year tax return issues.
If a claim is not supported properly, I will tell you.
If a deduction may have been missed, I will look at it.
If the return connects with a rental property, business, trust, investment portfolio or overseas income, I will explain how that changes the preparation process.
Accountant for Personal Tax Return in Sydney
An accountant for a personal tax return in Sydney should understand that the return often reflects more than one part of your life.
A teacher, nurse, tradesperson, office worker, consultant, investor, landlord, retiree or remote worker may all have different records, deductions and income sources. A return for someone with one employer is different from a return involving rental income, shares, managed funds, foreign income or a property sale.
That is why I do not treat every individual return the same way.
The preparation depends on the facts. The lodgement should reflect the income properly, claim only what can be supported and make sure the tax position is explained before anything is submitted.
Records Make The Difference Between A Claim And A Guess
Personal tax preparation services in Sydney often come down to the quality of the records.
Receipts, invoices, logbooks, bank records, employer summaries, rental property statements, dividend statements, managed fund tax statements, foreign income documents, loan interest records and capital gains tax records can all change the return.
A missing record may limit a claim.
A misunderstood record may lead to the wrong claim.
A property, investment or side-income record may show a tax issue that is not obvious at first glance.
I help sort through what is available, identify what else may be needed and prepare the return from information that can be explained if questioned later.
Lodgement Should Not Be The First Time You Understand The Result
Individual tax return lodgement in Sydney should not feel like pressing submit and hoping for the best.
Before lodgement, you should understand the result. If there is a refund, you should know what helped create it. If there is tax payable, you should understand why. If a deduction was not included, you should know whether the issue was eligibility, evidence or private-use adjustment.
That explanation is especially important when your return has changed from previous years.
A new job, a second income source, rental property, investment activity, overseas income, HELP debt movement, private health insurance change or capital gain can all affect the outcome.
The return should leave you clearer, not more confused.
