Why it's hard
Two tax years that don't line up.
April to April in the UK, July to June in Australia.
Months to scale, April 2025 to June 2026.
Two deadlines, two sets of rules, and income that each country sees differently.
Finding the right accountant twice, one in each country, who both take cases like yours.
What Handy does
Two countries, one place to work.
An accountant for each country,
each matched to your situation. If one accountant covers both, you'll get the same person for both.
Both returns in one place:
your documents, tasks and messages for both countries in one account.
Each return has its own price.
Each is charged separately, and you see each price before you pay for that return.
Each return is worked on separately.
Your accountant for each country sees what you share for that country. If something affects both returns, tell both, or ask Handy support to help.

Who does the work
Each return is prepared by your accountant for that country, then filed with HMRC or lodged with the ATO. Handy matches you, gives you one place to work in, and handles payment. Handy doesn't give tax advice.
