ATO ready
Get your tax refund early
Complying with the Australian Tax Office (ATO) rules has never been easier. Every rule below is something the TaxFox app already does for you in the background.
What the ATO requires
TaxFox does it for you (Automatic)
You must keep written evidence of every work-related expense you claim.
Every receipt is photographed, categorised and stored in Doc Safe the moment you snap it.
Records need to be kept for five years from the date you lodge.
Five years of records stay backed up in the cloud, protected by bank-level security.
Work-from-home hours must be recorded as they occur, not estimated later.
The WFH logbook records hours as you go and exports the whole year at tax time.
Car claims need a logbook or a written record of work-related kilometres.
The mileage tracker builds a digital logbook and exports it as a PDF.
Only the work-related portion of an expense can be claimed.
Smart Finder AI flags the business portion so you claim exactly the right amount.
Stop missing out on tax refunds that you're legally entitled to
