For anyone who has lodged a tax return before, whether DIY or through an agent, you know that the best way to maximise your tax refund is to claim as many deductions as possible. And in order to claim a deduction, you need 2 things - Substantiation and Nexus to the income earning activity (unless there is an exemption under a tax ruling, for example, donations or tax return fees).
Digital signature
Are you still printing and scanning documents?
Did you know that in many circumstances, a digital signature is just as valid as a hard copy?
