How It Works
No accounting knowledge needed. No confusing forms. Just upload and let TaxBuddy do the work.
Download your bank or credit card statement as CSV or PDF. Drag it into TaxBuddy. Works with any Australian bank.
TaxBuddy reads every transaction and automatically categorises income, deductions, subscriptions and work expenses — nothing missed.
Get a clean Excel report ready to hand to your accountant — or file yourself. Every deduction found, every dollar accounted for.
What TaxBuddy Does
Not for accountants. Not for finance people. For people who just want tax done and out of the way.
Upload statements from multiple banks and credit cards — all at once. TaxBuddy merges them, removes duplicates and pulls out every transaction automatically. No manual entry. Works with any Australian bank.
TaxBuddy knows what the ATO allows. It flags work expenses, subscriptions, vehicle costs, home office items — everything you're entitled to claim.
Get a formatted spreadsheet with every transaction categorised and totalled. Hand it to your accountant or use it to file yourself.
We process your statements to generate your report and then they're gone. We keep your email address only — to send your report and, if you opt in, to notify you about community updates. We never store your banking data, never sell your information, never share anything with anyone.
When TaxBuddy isn't sure about a transaction, you choose. A simple interface lets you flick through unclear items and assign them to the right category yourself — work expense, personal, deductible, skip. You stay in control of your own data.
Phone, tablet, laptop — TaxBuddy works wherever you are. No software to install. Open your browser and go.
Why TaxBuddy Exists
Twenty years in case management teaches you one thing: most systems are built for the people running them, not the people using them. Tax is no different. Every year, ordinary Australians hand over hundreds of dollars to accountants — not because they can't understand their own finances, but because nobody ever gave them a simple tool to do it themselves.
TaxBuddy was built by someone who got tired of that. A burnt-out case manager who decided that if she was going to spend her energy on something, it would be on making things easier for people like her — not harder.
This is not a big tech company. There are no investors, no ads, no data harvesting. Just a real tool, built carefully, priced honestly. Part of the Find Joy 143 family.
Community
Vetted, honest tips from people who've been through it. No sponsored content. No affiliate rubbish.
The ATO's revised fixed rate lets you claim 67c per hour worked from home — covering internet, electricity, phone and equipment. Keep a log. It adds up fast.
If you use your personal phone for work — even partly — you can claim a percentage. Estimate your work-use honestly. 50% is common and hard to dispute.
Netflix? No. Canva, Adobe, Microsoft 365, Xero, accounting apps? Yes — if you use them for work. TaxBuddy flags these automatically from your statement.
Under 5,000 work km? Use cents per km (88c in 2024–25) — no logbook needed. Over that? Keep a logbook for 12 weeks and claim actual costs.
Courses, books, professional memberships — claimable if they relate to your current job. Not claimable if they're for a new career. Honest distinction.
