What gets checked
Car and travel
Work travel is one of the largest claims on a return and one of the most misunderstood.
Driving between two workplaces, to client sites, or carrying bulky equipment your employer does not store for you. Home to work is generally not claimable, but the exceptions are exactly where a reviewer earns their keep.
A registered tax agent goes through this area of your return, line by line, at no cost to you.
Trips between sites, bulky equipment and travel you were not reimbursed for. Where something looks incomplete, the agent asks you about it, tells you what evidence would support the claim and only then works out whether an amendment is worth lodging.
If it is, you get the proposed position and the exact fee in writing. If it is not, you have paid nothing and you know the return was right.

Between workplaces
Trips from one job to another, from a base to a site, or between clients during the day.
Bulky tools and equipment
Where you have to carry heavy or bulky equipment and there is no secure storage at work.
Cents per km or logbook
Two methods, two very different results. The reviewer checks that the right method was used and substantiated.
