Go to the Profile tab, tap Edit Profile, and update your trade type or income level. Your estimated refund will recalculate immediately.

Scanning Receipts

After scanning, all fields are editable before you confirm. Just tap the field that's incorrect and type the right value. The AI does its best but isn't perfect — always check the total and GST before saving.
Hold your phone steady and make sure the receipt is flat and well-lit. Tap the screen to focus before tapping the shutter button. Avoid harsh shadows across the receipt. If the receipt is faded, try using the Upload PDF option if you have a digital copy.
Yes. On the Scan screen, tap Upload PDF to select a file from your phone. The AI will extract the same details as a camera scan. This works well for email receipts you've saved as PDFs.
We cover all the main categories tradies claim: Tools & Equipment, Vehicle & Travel, Work Clothing & PPE, Phone & Technology, Training & Licences, Union Fees, Home Office, and Sunscreen & Protective Items. Select "Other" for anything that doesn't fit — your accountant can sort the rest at tax time.

Tax & Refunds

We take your total work-related expenses and multiply them by your tax rate based on what you earn. For example, $10,000 in expenses at a 32.5% tax rate = ~$3,250 back. It's a guide only — your actual refund depends on your full situation, so always confirm with a tax agent or accountant.
No. Tradie Tax helps you track and organise your work-related expenses throughout the year. The estimates are a guide to help you understand where you stand. When it comes to doing your tax return, we recommend using a registered tax agent or the ATO's myTax tool — the export is designed to make that handoff as easy as possible.
The app defaults to the current Australian financial year (1 July – 30 June). You can view and switch financial years from the Tax Tracker screen. Receipts are stored across multiple years so nothing gets lost.
The deduction is calculated on the total amount including GST, which is the standard approach for employees. If you're registered for GST and claim GST credits separately through your BAS, speak to your accountant about which figure to use — the app lets you edit the amount before confirming.
