It’s tax time

$99 tax return.
Done in minutes.

No sorting. No re-typing.

Every figure cited to the law

ITAA, GST Act, ATO rulings.

How it works

Three steps. No accountant required.

1

Drop in your numbers

Export your P&L and balance sheet from Xero, MYOB, Hnry or whatever you use — TaxResearch reads them straight away. No re-typing, no sorting receipts, no spreadsheets. Bank exports and payment summaries work too.

2

TaxResearch builds the return

The AI classifies every line, applies the right tax treatment, calculates deductions, depreciation, GST, CGT — and shows you the working. Every figure is cited to the exact statute section or ATO ruling that justifies it.

3

Get your return, ready to lodge

You get a complete, cited working file plus the final reconciliation figures formatted to review and file. Ask follow-up questions for free, no more per-hour charges.

What it costs

What you get

More than a number. A defensible return.

A worked tax return

Every label on every schedule, with the figure shown and a citation alongside — section of the ITAA, ATO ruling paragraph, or worked-example reference. You can hand it straight to a tax agent for sign-off, or type the numbers into myGov yourself.

Every figure defensible

If the ATO ever asks "why this number?" you have an answer in writing. TaxResearch shows the working, the law it relied on, and the assumption it made. No accountant scribbles you can’t read three months later.

Free follow-up questions

For the full return period, ask anything: "would I be better off claiming the home-office actual cost method?", "what if I sell this asset in July?", "can I deduct this subscription?". Each answer cited to the law, not made up.

No sorting, no re-typing

Drop your Xero or MYOB P&L and balance sheet. Drop your bank export. Drop your PAYG summary, your rental statements, your share registry CSV. TaxResearch reads them — you don’t spend a Saturday categorising rows in a spreadsheet.

Who it’s for

Built for everyone an accountant overcharges.

Sole traders

ABN income, work expenses, home office, vehicle, super.

Freelancers & contractors

PAYG variation, multiple clients, mixed PAYG/ABN income.

Small business (Pty Ltd)

Company return, Div 7A, depreciation, R&D, base-rate-entity rate.

Property investors

Rental schedules, negative gearing, depreciation, CGT events.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Because a chatbot can’t do your return.

Generic AI tools chat about tax. TaxResearch reads your structured Xero / MYOB exports, classifies every line, calculates the actual numbers, and produces a return document with each figure cited to the law. It’s a tool, not a conversation.

A generic AI chatbot

  • Reads screenshots, not Xero exports
  • Made-up citations to fake ATO rulings
  • No actual figures — just a summary
  • No defensible record for the ATO

TaxResearch

  • Ingests Xero, MYOB, bank CSVs natively
  • Every citation links to the real source paragraph
  • Produces the worked return, not just a chat
  • Cited working file you can show the ATO

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

Not directly — lodging another person’s return for a fee is restricted to registered tax agents. TaxResearch prepares your complete return so you can lodge it yourself in myGov, or hand it to a tax agent for sign-off (much cheaper than building it from scratch).

It’s tax time. Make it cheap, cited and done.

Drop in your Xero or MYOB exports and walk away with a complete, defensible return. $99, all-in — no per-hour charges, no surprise bill.
