Your fees are paid into your nominated account the SAME DAY as the client refund is sent. There is NO FASTER WAY for you to receive your fees.
This is the most frequently asked question. By arrangement with St George Bank each Practice is issued with their own secure individual FFR account. These accounts have No chequebooks or over the counter withdrawals. The only way money can be transferred is electronically which means St George bank hold all transaction information and records. There are also checks and balances within the system itself to protect you and FFR. You can also receive view only access codes to your FFR account allowing you to see all transactions anytime you need if required.
In the event that a client receives less than the fees, or in fact is a nil return client, FFR automatically writes to the client to advise them of the debt and an intending debit scheduled to recover the debt and also provides the client with a 1800 number direct to Fee From Refund customer support team should they wish to make alternative arrangements.

The Fee From Refund System has been developed to turn what is a manual process into an electronic process. Data is simply entered into the secure website. The practice then nominates the Fee From Refund bank account for the ATO to deposit the client’s refund. When the practice sets up the system within their office, they request an EFT Report from the ATO (a process that only takes a few moments and only needs to be done once). This report is the foundation of the Fee From Refund system and is the main time saving feature. The EFT Report identifies who the various deposits within your Fee From Refund account belong to and matches in the system via Tax File Number to ensure accuracy of transactions. The EFT Report can list one client’s refund through to thousands if applicable allowing you to process many customers refunds at the push of one button.
