Upload photos or PDFs of your receipts. TradieTax AI reads them using AI vision, automatically extracting the vendor, date, amount, GST and category. Edit any field if the AI makes a mistake, delete entries you no longer need, and view the original receipt photo at any time.
→Take clear, well-lit photos — the better the image, the more accurate the AI.
→Supported files: JPG, PNG, PDF (max 10MB). On mobile the camera opens directly.

→The app detects potential duplicates (same amount, vendor and date within 7 days) before saving.
→Expenses marked as deductible are included in your tax calculator automatically.
→Keep originals for 5 years — the ATO may request them during an audit.
→Use "Search & filter" to find expenses by vendor, category or date range.
Upload invoices or remittance advices you receive as income. The AI extracts the client name, invoice number, date and amount. You can upload multiple PDFs at once. Income feeds into your net profit, BAS summary and tax calculator. Edit or delete any income record directly from the dashboard.

→Income and expenses together give your true taxable profit.
→The dashboard loads up to 500 income records — for larger histories use the CSV export.
Create professional PDF invoices without leaving the app. Fill in the client name, work description and amount — TradieTax AI adds your business name, ABN, logo, GST breakdown and invoice number automatically. New invoices start as draft and are recorded as income once generated.
→Upload your business logo in Profile so it appears on every invoice.
→Set your ABN and GST status in Profile — the app uses them to format the invoice correctly.

Tax profile & invoice settings
Your ABN, GST registration status, business name, address, bank details and logo all live in Profile. This information appears on your invoices, BAS summaries and tax calculations. Complete your profile before creating invoices.
→ABN is 11 digits — the app validates the ATO checksum. Saving is blocked if the ABN is invalid.
→GST registered: you charge 10% GST on sales and can claim GST credits. Mandatory above $75,000/year.
→Rideshare drivers (Uber, Ola, DiDi) must register for GST regardless of annual turnover.
→Add your BSB and account number so they appear on invoice PDFs for easy client payment.
→Logo must be JPG, PNG or WebP, under 2MB. Square format looks best on invoices.
→Toggle "ABN shown on invoices" to hide your ABN from invoice PDFs if preferred.
→The app warns you when your total income approaches the $75,000 GST threshold.

→Log date, kilometres and purpose — the ATO may ask for your logbook in an audit.

BAS — Business Activity Statement
Your quarterly GST reference report. TradieTax AI calculates GST collected on income minus GST credits on purchases, broken down by ATO quarter. Select the quarter, review the figures and copy them into the ATO Business Portal or give them to your BAS Agent. This is a reference tool — not an official lodgement.
→BAS is due 28 days after each quarter: Q1 (Jul–Sep) → 28 Oct · Q2 (Oct–Dec) → 28 Jan · Q3 (Jan–Mar) → 28 Apr · Q4 (Apr–Jun) → 28 Jul.
→The BAS countdown banner appears on both the dashboard and BAS page within 30 days of each deadline.
→If your GST credits exceed GST collected, the ATO owes you a GST refund.
→Figures use the dates on your receipts — check dates are correct when uploading.
→Mileage deductions go in your annual tax return, NOT in your BAS.
→TradieTax AI is not a registered BAS Agent. You must lodge through the ATO Business Portal or a registered agent.

FIFO — Zone Tax Offset & Roster
FIFO workers who spend 183+ consecutive or non-consecutive days in the same ATO remote zone in one financial year qualify for the Zone Tax Offset — up to $2,346/year with a dependant. Log every roster swing, the app counts days by zone, shows your eligibility status and gives step-by-step instructions to claim it at tax time.
→You need 183+ days in the same zone in one financial year (1 Jul – 30 Jun) to qualify.
→Zones do NOT combine — 90 days in Zone A + 90 days in Zone B = 0 days towards either.
→Zone A: $338 · Zone B: $169 · Special Area: $1,173 (all double with a dependant).
→Toggle "Dependant" if you have a spouse or child — the offset doubles.
→Once eligible: claim at question 20 on your myTax return. Your employer does NOT apply it automatically.
→Using a tax agent: tell them you are FIFO and how many days in which zone — they do the rest.
→Import your rosters from a CSV file to bulk-load past swings quickly.
→Export your roster log as a PDF to give your tax agent as ATO evidence.
