Join The Waitlist

Secure your spot with Australia's only tax service built exclusively for ADF members. No obligation. No commitment. This is the first step toward a Defence tax return done right.

  • We keep our numbers tight so every ADF member gets the attention their tax return deserves. Joining the waitlist is how we make sure you're matched to the right Service Tier and given clear, step-by-step guidance from day one.

    • We review your situation and assess your Service Tier

    • You receive tailored instructions based on your Corps or Service

    • Your Defence tax return is prepared and lodged by a registered tax agent who already understands ADF pay, allowances, and deductions

    • Serving ADF members (Army, Navy, Air Force)

    • Ex-serving and recently discharged members

    • Defence families

    • ADF members with investment property, sole trader income, or complex entitlements

    • ADF-specific deductions and military allowances

    • Medicare Levy exemptions for Defence members

    • DHOAS, HPAS, and HPSEA reporting

    • Investment property claims impacted by postings

    • DFRDB, MSBS, and CSC pension tax treatment

    • Overdue and prior year returns

Choosing the wrong accountant can literally cost you thousands.

By working with any old accountant or doing your own taxes, you are missing out on ADF-specific deductions AND throwing your money down the toilet.



You've done your time briefing civi accountants on how Defence works. That ends here. Duty First Tax was founded by a former ADF Officer — we already speak your language.
