Essendon is excited to announce a partnership with one of Australia’s leading professional services firms, PwC.

This relationship will allow EFC fans access, at a discounted rate, to PwC’s Airtax platform which simplifies the tax return process for millions of Australians.

PwC's Airtax is an online market-leading solution for completing individual Australian income tax returns.

The Airtax application provides a quick and convenient experience using automation and machine learning where possible. It won't necessarily make tax fun, but it will make it a whole lot less painful.

According to PwC partner Jonathan Dunlea, Airtax “simplifies what is a time-consuming, complex and frustrating task for many Australians and PwC is excited to work with Essendon in changing the way people do their tax.”

Airtax offers a ‘smart’ question set that calculates your tax position as you go as well as simplified forms that prompt taxpayers with respect to available deductions – optimising their tax position.

Automated pre-filling of the questionnaire with ATO data means that individuals can complete and lodge their tax return in a matter of minutes.

Airtax customers also enjoy the benefit of an extended tax return lodgement deadline where applicable. Airtax is completely mobile and can be accessed via browser or iOS app.

Normally $99 to lodge your Income Tax Return, to celebrate the new partnership, PwC and Airtax are offering Essendon fans, families and friends a $20 discount.

Download the Airtax app for free or head to airtax.com.au and pay only $79 upon lodgement of your return using the code “essendon79”.
