What gets checked
A year that changed
Unusual years are where things get missed. If your year did not look like the one before it, it is worth a second look.
A redundancy payment taxed at the wrong rate. Two employers and a tax-free threshold claimed twice, or not at all. Months of leave that changed your bracket. A move interstate for work. These are the returns most likely to be worth amending.
A registered tax agent goes through this area of your return, line by line, at no cost to you.
Changing jobs, redundancy, two employers, time off, or a first year of extra income. 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.

Changed jobs or held two
Overlapping employers, payment summaries that did not reconcile and thresholds claimed incorrectly.
Redundancy and termination
Employment termination payments and genuine redundancy amounts carry their own tax treatment. It is often applied incorrectly.
Relocation and time off
Moving for work, extended leave, or part of a year overseas all change what should have been claimed.
