For many people a tax refund is a much-anticipated lump sum of money.

So, it is understandable Australians will be looking for ways to maximise their returns – particularly we are in a cost-of-living crisis.

But, whether you do your own return or use a tax agent, taking risks is not advised.

It's targeted at the less financially literate, like the kind of people who unironically think a work-related purchased is "free because it's tax deductible".

I think it's wholly okay to encourage posts that cater to a variety of financial literacy levels. If you'd like to see more stuff tailored to your preferences, please contribute it.
