Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only prepare tax returns for police officers?
PoliceTax specialises in taxation for serving and retired police officers, recruits and their families. Our experience with law enforcement work helps us recognise occupation-specific circumstances that can easily be overlooked in a general tax appointment.
What should I have ready for my tax return?
Bring or upload your income information, work-related expense records, receipts, private health details and any documents relating to investments, rental properties, shares or cryptocurrency. We can confirm what else is needed after reviewing your circumstances.
What deductions may be available to police officers?
Eligible deductions depend on your role and records, but may include certain uniform, equipment, training, travel, professional membership and home-office expenses. Our team reviews each claim against current taxation requirements rather than applying a standard list.
Can I complete my tax return online?
Yes. You can securely upload your information for an online return or arrange a video appointment. Face-to-face appointments are also available for clients who prefer to meet with a tax professional in person.
How long does it take to complete a return?
Many straightforward returns can be completed within 24 to 48 hours once all required information has been received. Returns involving rental properties, capital gains, investments or other complex matters may require additional time.
Can PoliceTax help clients Australia-wide?
Yes. Our online upload and video appointment services allow police officers and their families to work with our team from anywhere in Australia.
