I'm so annoyed.
I've just received my tax back from the accountant and in the checking of it, notice that only a portion of our land tax has been apportioned over the properties. Total claimed is 67% of the total paid.
Our annual package fee has also not been claimed anywhere.
Do others find that they have to check this stuff so closely?
My mother once found something missed in her return that (had she not picked it up at the checking stage) would have resulted in her paying an extra $12K in capital gains tax for that particular house.
I'm just so sick of paying good money to "supposed" professionals and finding errors every single year.
The error (this year) might only mean $1K that we would have paid in tax that should not be paid, but that $1K is important to me.
I'd be keen to change accountants, but for a while now that is impractical for several reasons. Going forward though, I think I'd like to change to another, but I'm curious to know if I'd be jumping from the frying pan into the fire?
Is it unusual for them to be making these simple mistakes, and missing things like this?
