Ninety-nine percent of working holiday makers in Australia over pay tax and our customers get average refunds of AU$2600! Our tax expertise means you’ll get the maximum amount of tax back from your time in Oz. We can organise your refund in just 10 working days and send it to Oz or your bank account back home.
