Many people don’t claim back all the tax they’re owed and we can find out for free if you’re owed a bigger refund. If you decide to re-apply, we can file an amended Australian tax return for you.

We can use either your final cumulative payslip or your T4 to claim back Canadian tax for you. Your final cumulative payslip is the payslip attached to your last pay cheque. It shows your year-to-date earnings and how much tax you’ve paid.
Yes. Every tax office in the world is set up to accept applications directly from taxpayers. However, if you do not have a strong understanding of your tax entitlements, it can be tricky to complete your taxes correctly. The tax system in Canada is very complex and filing their own tax return is a challenge that many Canadian citizens don’t even attempt themselves.
What’s more, if you have questions about your tax return, it can be difficult to communicate directly with the tax office directly. That’s why it’s a good idea to file with Taxback! We’ll answer any tax questions you have and help you claim your maximum Canadian tax refund.
No, but we do guarantee to get you the most money back that we legally can.
Our estimate is based on your documents and our experience in filing thousands of tax returns every week since 1996. Naturally, the Canadian tax authority has the final decision in your tax refund based on their systems and tax codes.
When our tax technicians prepare and file your return, they check for any allowances or benefits you could get and ensure we apply for the maximum rebate possible.
Tax Quick Refund will get you back as much overpaid Canadian tax as is legally possible. That amount depends on factors like:
- Your visa
- Your earnings and tax deductions
- How long you worked for
- How much time you spent skiing instead of working
The average refund we get for our Canadian tax clients is CA$998.
You can follow the progress of your Canada tax return on your online account. This allows you to see every step of your application. As soon as we have your refund we’ll contact you to sort out the best way to get your money straight to you.

To file your Canadian tax return we’ll need either your T4 or your final payslip. The T4 is the official government form you’ll receive from your employer at the end of the tax year. It outlines your earnings and the amount of tax you paid. You should receive it by the end of February but if you don’t, it’s no problem – our document retrieval team can source it out for you.
To claim your Canadian tax rebate we’ll need your Social Insurance Number. If you don’t have it, ask your employer as they should have a record of your number. No luck? Contact us at canada@TaxQuickRefund.com to see what we can do for you.
