Report
Unfortunately our tax accountant has retired this year she recommended us to Margaret's and gave us her number etc. Margaret is friendly and sent us everything we require for getting our tax through them.But for the prices they charge for being friendly they must think money grows on trees.
($231 per individual) (for a couple $462) and if you have a rental property it's another $231 for that as well a total of $693.00
Shame our tax accountant retired because she only charged us $250 for the whole lot to be done. Won't be recommending this company to anyone I know even they are friendly but that
