About HB Tax Solutions
About Hervey Bay Tax Solutions
Hervey Bay Tax Solutions was established in April 2021 by Cassie Patterson to provide taxation and accounting services to residents of the Fraser Coast. We’re small business and individual tax return specialists, here to help you with your tax and business needs. With a strong focus on tax planning and compliance, we work with our clients to ensure they’re aware of their obligations and how to meet them, while recommending strategies for tax reduction and streamlining processes.
Our experience has taught us that people often overlook the value that an accountant or tax agent can add to their business, not just for the purpose of saving tax, but for being able to read and understand financial reports to gain a better understanding of how a business is operating, or being able to breathe easy knowing that obligations are met and compliance is being maintained.
Areas that we can help you included but are not limited to:
- Tax return and financial statement preparation
- BAS and GST matters and advice
- Tax planning for businesses and individuals
- Capital gains tax estimations and advice
- Budgeting for businesses and individuals
- Advice regarding entity structures

Solve All Your Tax Problems Under One Room
With services ranging from income tax returns, BAS preparation, business and personal budgeting, corporate compliance, tax planning, superannuation processing, and more, we’re here to help with all your accounting needs.
All tax agents are required to comply with the TPB’s Code of Professional Conduct (the Code).
As part of our obligations under the Code (specifically, under section 45 of the Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) Determination 2024), we are required to make you aware of a number of matters, namely:
- that the TPB maintains a register of tax agents and BAS agents and how you can access and search the register;
- how you can make a complaint about a tax agent service that we have provided, including the complaints process of the TPB;
- general information about our rights, responsibilities and obligations as a tax agent (including the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (the TASA) and the Code) as well as your obligations to us as your tax agent;
- certain events that have occurred in the last 5 years; and
- if our registration as a tax agent is subject to certain conditions imposed by the TPB.
We have provided details on each of these below.
TPB - Register of Tax Agents
The TPB maintains a public register where you can obtain details of registered tax agents as well as certain unregistered entities and individuals. It also includes public details of past breaches of the Code and specific sanctions imposed on tax agents.
You can access the TPB Register via the TPB website (accessible here).
You can search the TPB Register by entering the details of the tax agent you are working with, or any other tax agent. The TPB website also provides guidance on how to search the TPB Register. You can access this guidance here.
Reporting a Complaint
The TPB also has a complaints process in relation to the provision of tax agent services.
You can raise a concern with the TPB in relation to the provision of tax agent services using their online complaints form, available here.
The TPB website also provides useful information about their complaints process, including which matters they can investigate, how to make a complaint, the investigation process and your rights if you disagree with an investigation outcome. You can access this information here.
Rights, Responsibilities and Obligations
As a tax agent, we must comply with the TASA, including the Code of Professional Conduct. The Code sets out the professional and ethical standards that registered tax agents are required to comply with. It outlines the duties that registered tax agents owe to their clients, the TPB and other registered tax agents. Obligations within the Code include, but are not limited to, acting with honesty and integrity, acting in the best interests of your client, taking reasonable care and ensuring services are provided competently. You can access the Code here and learn more about the principles here.
Clients also have obligations under taxation laws and to their tax agent. This includes being truthful with the information provided, keeping complete records and providing them, if required, on a timely basis, advising of any changes that may impact the tax agent services, being co-operative with requests and meeting due dates.
You can learn more about the obligations on the TPB website or the TPB’s fact sheet “Information for Clients”.
