Refund Policy

Last Updated: 11th February 2025

1. Introduction

Umbrella Property Accountants strives to deliver high-quality tax services following professional standards and Australian regulatory requirements. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds may be granted for our tax agent services. By engaging our services through our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Refund Policy, which forms an integral part of our Website Fulfillment Policy.

2. Scope

This Refund Policy applies exclusively to the tax agent services provided by Umbrella Property Accountants via our website. Any services provided through other channels or under separate agreements may be subject to different terms and conditions.

3. Eligibility for Refunds

Refunds may be considered in the following circumstances:

• Non-Commencement of Services:
  If you have paid for a service that has not yet been initiated, you may be eligible for a full refund upon written request.
• Service Delivery Failure:
  If Umbrella Property Accountants fail to deliver the agreed-upon service outlined in our Website Fulfillment Policy—and the issue is not resolved through further communication—a refund (full or partial) may be issued at our discretion.
• Error on Our Part:
  When a demonstrable error by Umbrella Property Accountants has materially affected the service provided, you may be eligible for a refund subject to a review of the circumstances.

4. Non-Refundable Circumstances

The following scenarios are not eligible for refunds:

• Completed Services:
  No refunds will be provided once tax services have been fully rendered and delivered.
• Partially Rendered Services:
  Refunds (if applicable) will be calculated on a pro-rata basis for services that have been partially completed. Any non-refundable fees incurred will be deducted from the refund amount.
• Cancellation After Commencement:
  Cancellation requests submitted after the commencement of work may incur a cancellation fee, and any refund granted will be adjusted accordingly.
• Deposits and Administrative Fees:
  Any non-refundable deposits or administrative fees already incurred are not eligible for a refund.
