Terms of Service — Tradie Tax

By using TradieTax you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully, especially the AI disclaimer below.

⚠️ AI Disclaimer — Please Read

Receipt-free deduction estimates generated by TradieTax are produced by an artificial intelligence system using published Australian Taxation Office (ATO) rates and guidelines.

These estimates are a GUIDE ONLY. They do NOT constitute tax advice, financial advice, or a representation that the amounts shown are correct or claimable in your specific circumstances.

You are solely responsible for:

Verifying that any deduction you claim is substantiated and accurate
Ensuring your claims comply with ATO requirements for the relevant financial year
Consulting a registered tax agent or accountant for personalised advice

The ATO may audit claims. TradieTax accepts no liability for any under-claimed or over-claimed deductions, penalties, or interest arising from reliance on AI-generated estimates.

⚖️ Not a Registered Tax Agent (TASA)

TradieTax is NOT a registered tax agent or BAS agent under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (Cth).

All outputs from this application — including receipt categorisations, deduction estimates, and refund calculations — are suggestions produced by software to help you organise your records. They are NOT:

Determinations of your legal entitlement to any deduction
Tax agent services within the meaning of TASA
Advice you should rely on without independent verification

Any fee paid to TradieTax is for access to software tools only — not for a tax agent service.

1. About TradieTax

TradieTax is a mobile application designed to help Australian tradespeople track work-related expenses, estimate tax deductions, and organise tax records.

Tradie Tax is operated by OAT & CO PTY LTD (ABN 34 698 855 024 | ACN 698 855 024), trading as Tradie Tax, Victoria, Australia.

Tradie Tax is not a registered tax agent. The app does not lodge tax returns on your behalf.

3. AI-Generated Deductions

TradieTax uses Claude AI (Anthropic) to generate estimated receipt-free deductions based on your profile. These estimates:

Are based on ATO-published rates for the relevant financial year
Are conservative by design — we err on the side of caution
May not reflect recent legislative changes announced after the app was last updated
Should be reviewed and adjusted to reflect your actual circumstances

ATO rates used in calculations (e.g. cents-per-km, home office fixed rate) are updated in-app annually. You should verify current rates at ato.gov.au before doing your tax return.

We collect and store:

Your name and email address (authentication)
Trade, employment, and income information
Receipt images and extracted data
Deduction estimates and financial year data

We do not sell your data to third parties. Receipt images are stored in a private, access-controlled bucket and are only accessible to your account.

AI analysis of your receipt images is processed via Anthropic's API. Images are transmitted securely and are subject to Anthropic's privacy policy.

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data by emailing support@tradietax.app.

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law:

TradieTax is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind
We are not liable for any tax assessments, penalties, or financial losses arising from use of the app
We are not liable for inaccurate AI-generated estimates
Our total liability to you in any 12-month period shall not exceed the subscription fees paid by you in that period

Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law where those rights cannot be excluded.

7. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Significant changes will be notified via the app. Continued use of TradieTax after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
